Before
Humidifier De-scaling Solution
Humidifier De-scaling Solution
After
The following are instructions for using DriSteem Humidifier
De-scaling Solution and DriSteem Humidifier De-scaling Neutralizer to remove
scale and other related deposits in industrial and commercial humidifiers.
SAFETY GEAR
Use proper safety gear including the following:
• Rubber or neoprene gloves
• Anti-splash goggles
• Rubber apron
• Rubber boots
• Dust mask when using Humidifier De-scaling Neutralizer
IMPORTANT
Scale buildup on humidifier heaters and heat
exchangers acts as an insulator, reducing
humidifier performance while increasing energy
costs.
Inspect humidifier tanks regularly and perform
humidifier de-scaling maintenance as needed to
keep humidifiers operating at peak efficiency.
IMPORTANT
These products are not to be used for cleaning
DriSteem XT humidifiers. XT humidifiers have
disposable evaporative chambers that do not
require cleaning.
IMPORTANT
If the humidifier has a normally open drain
valve (typical on units installed in outdoor
enclosures), the humidifier must remain
powered to keep the drain valve closed.
To remove from service a humidifier with a
normally open drain valve, use the Vapor-logic
keypad/display to change the control mode
from Auto to Standby.
SUPPLIES REQUIRED
• Humidifier de-scaling solution
• Humidifier de-scaler neutralizer, if required by federal, state or local codes
• pH meter or indicator strips (pH test strips are included with the De-scaling
Solution)
• DriSteem humidifier de-scaling solution pump kit
