The second water connection can reduce treated
water requirements.
Water Quality and Treatment
It is essential to supply the steam generator with water
that will not form scale. Even though the steam
generator/boiler is engineered to minimize scale
formation, scale development depends on the
hardness of your water and the number of hours you
operate the equipment each day.
Most water supplies contain minerals which form scale.
It is this scale which could lead to an early component
failure.
Your local water utility can tell you about the minerals
in your water. The water going to the steam generator
should have between 30 and 40 parts per million (ppm)
total dissolved solids (TDS) and should have a pH
(acidity rating) of 7.0 to 9.0. Please follow these
simple precautions:
1. The best way to prevent scale is to use a Groen
PureSteem™ Water Treatment System which has
been specifically designed for Groen steamers and
combination ovens. Do not rely on unproven
water treatment systems sold for scale
prevention and removal. They are not
specifically designed to work with Groen
steamers and combination ovens.
2. A well-maintained water treatment system and a
regular cartridge replacement schedule is
essential.
3. Using a Groen PureSteem™ Water Treatment
System will provide longer steam generator/boiler
life, higher steam capacity, and reduce
maintenance requirements.
4. If you notice a slowdown in steam production or an
increase in deliming, have the steamer checked for
scale build-up. This could be an indication that the
water treatment cartridges need replacing. Heavy
scale reduces the unit’s ability to boil water, and
can even cause component failure.
MINIMIZE SCALE PROBLEMS BY INSTALLING
AND MAINTAINING A GROEN PureSteem™
WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM AND BY DELIMING
THE STEAMER REGULARLY.
The Groen HY-5G Steamer features two separate
water inlets — one for the steam generator/boiler
(treated water), the other for the spray condenser
(untreated water). The second intake will reduce
treatment requirements resulting in significant savings.
The dual water connections are side by side on the
rear of the unit. When seen from the back of the unit,
the treated water intake is on the left.
