Trouble-shooting Hot Steam Vaporizer
Not Steaming:
If the vaporizer does not start producing steam within 25 minutes, it means the water's mineral content is too low to allow for electrical current flow.
- Unplug and remove the electrode heating assembly.
- Add 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp of salt or a 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda per gallon of water to initiate steaming action.
Adding too much baking soda or salt can cause excessive boiling and hot water spurting which may cause burns.
Excessive Boiling:
If the vaporizer boils excessively, spurts hot water or blows fuses without having added any salt or soda, the mineral content is too high.
- Unplug the vaporizer and clean the unit per the cleaning instructions that come with the unit.
- Refill using 1/2 tap water and 1/2 distilled water which dilutes the mineral content of the water.
