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.
