INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS

IMPORTANT NOTE: The SteamerGard™ system is designed to provide purified water for use in the
steam generator (boiler) of the steamer only. A separate tap water supply line is required for the

condenser system of the steamer. It is the responsibility of the steamer owner or the installer to provide
two separate water connections; one for purified water to the steam generator and a separate one for tap
water to the condenser system.

SteamerGard™ Components:

THE STEAMERGARD™ UNIT is the heart of the system. It converts available tap water into chemically adjusted and
purified water using a combination of modem water treatment technologies. The SteamerGard™ unit is designed to set
on the floor or a sturdy shelf (100 Ib. cap min.). The SteamerGard™ unit should be positioned to provide easy access
for future fitter changes and servicing, along with access to a cold water supply (preferably softened), an open drain, and
a 115 VAC electrical outlet. The SteamerGard™ unit is equipped with one 1/2" compression fitting to connect to the
feed water supply and two 3/8" compression fittings to connect to the drain and storage tank. 1/2 '' and 3/8"-OD
polybutylene tubing is recommended for plumbing. The Stea merGard™ unit plugs into a standard 115 VAC electrical
outlet.

THE STORAGE TANK is a self-contained unit, and requires no power. It provides storage and pressure of purified
water for use in the steamer. The storage tank should be set on the floor anywhere between the SteamerGard™ unit and
the steamer - The storage tank is fitted with a 1" shut-off valve and a 3/8" tee, tor connection to the SteamerGard™ unit

and the steamer. 3/8" OD polybutylene tubing is recommended for plumbing. Important. Storage tank air precharge
should be 12 psi with no water.

THE CONTROL PANEL is designed to give the operator important information about the status and performance of
the SteamerGard™ system, as well as to provide a manual system bypass to revert the steamer to tap water operation
should overuse or failure cause the storage tank to become depleted. The control panel is designed to be wall mounted in
a convenient and accessible location in the vicinity of the steamer and with access to a cold tap water supply. It uses a
standard 9 volt battery to power the WATER QUALITY MONITOR , so no special wiring is required. It is equipped
with three 3/8" compression fittings for connection to the storage tank - the steam generator and a tap water supply.
3/8"OD polybutylene tubing is recommended for plumbing.

Plumbing

The SteamerGard™ system is designed for operation with cold water (40°F - 80°F), at pressures of 25-80 psi,
containing less than 1500 ppm (mg/l) of TDS. The SteamerGard™ system is designed to be plumbed with 3/8" and
1/2" OD polybutylene tubing. 3/8" and 1/2" plastic ferrules (sleeves) are supplied with the system and must be used
when plumbing polybutylene tubing to brass compression fittings. (Note: The tapered end of the plastic ferrule fits into
the fitting body.) if copper tubing must be used for the feed water supply lines, be sure to use brass ferrules (sleeves).
All manual water valves used in the SteamerGard™ system are open when the handle is parallel to the valve body, and
are closed when the handle is perpendicular to the valve body- 3/8" OD and 1/2" OD polybutylene installation tubing is
available from The Water Factory.

Electrical

A 115 VAC el ectrical outlet is required as a power source for the SteamerGard™ unit. A standard 9 volt battery,
located behind the remotely mounted control panel, is used to power the Water Quality Monitor.

WARNING: Reduced performance or failure of the SteamerGard™ system due to improper

installation, improper maintenance, or improperly treated teed water is not covered under the
manufacturers limited warranty- Specifically, use of the SteamerGard™ system with water
supplies exceeding 80°F, 80 psi, 20 grains of hardness, or 1500 ppm (mg/l) of TDS will void
the manufacturers warranty.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Locate the SteamerGard™ Model WT 200 or 400 on a floor or shelf (100 Ib. cap. min.), in a dry area,

with adequate ventilation and with access to a cold water supply (preferably softened, les s than 20
grains), a drain, and a 115VAC electrical outlet. The location should provide easy accessibility for future
maintenance and service. The SteamerGard™ unit should, be positioned so the filters face the most
open area for ease of future filter changes. DO NOT plug in the power cord at this time. Ensure that the
power switch is in the "off" position.

2. Locate the storage tank in any convenient place between the SteamerGard™ unit and the steamer.
Generally, the storage tank is located near the SteamerGard™ unit. The storage tank sets on the floor,
and does not need to be secured to the floor. The storage tank should be within 50 feet of the steamer­Screw the shut -off valve (supplied) onto the threaded connection of the storage tank, then screw the tee
(supplied) onto the valve.

3. Locate the control panel on a wall near the steamer and position it to be within reach with access to a
cold water supply- Carefully holding the control panel against the wall, mark the four mounting hole
locations that will provide a level installation. Drill four holes at the marks for mounting the panel. Secure
the control pane! to the wall using four #12 x 1-1/2" screws and washers into four hollow wall anchors (or
most appropriate method). Ensure that the control panel is level.

4. Cold Tap Water Feed Line to the SteamerGard™ Unit: In accordance with accepted plumbing
methods, the SteamerGard™ unit should be plumbed from an existing cold water (cold soft water is
preferred if available) supply (1/2" minimum) using a tee and a shut-off valve. Run up to 25 feet of 1/2"
tubing from the valve at the cold water supply (preferably softened) to the FEED WATER connection on
the SteamerGard™ unit, but do not make the connection yet - If the SteamerGard™ installation requires
an unusually long feed water plumbing run it may be necessary to extend the cold water supply pipe to
within 25 feet of the unit.

OPTIONAL: Before connecting the feed water line to the SteamerGard™ unit, the storage tank may be
filled with tap water. Before tank is filled always check that the air precharge is 12 psi- If the tank is not
initially filled with water, it will take up to one hour for the SteamerGard™ system to fill the tank with
enough purified water to operate the steamer. If it is desirable to fill the tank, remove one of the plugs
from one side of the tee on the shut -off valve of the tank- Use the 1/2" X 3/8" reducer coupling (supplied)
and a short piece of 3/8" tubing to temporarily reduce the feed water line to the tank fitting size. Be sure
the other side of the tee is plugged- Connect the feed water line to the unplugged compression fitting of
the tee. Open the valve on the tank and open the cold tap water supply valve. Allow the tank to fill for
approximately 30 seconds. Close both valves. Disconnect the feed water line from the tank. Move the
tank to its permanent location.

Connect the feed water line to the FEED WATER connection on the SteamerGard™ unit.
