The Elite Steam produces non-pressurized steam by means of electrodes immersed in the water contained in the plastic
steam generator cylinder. Electric current passes through the water between the electrodes, heating the water into steam,
which is then used to humidify the air.
The quality of the water used affects the operation of this unit, so the Elite Steam may be supplied with untreated water, as
long as this is drinkable and not softened or demineralized. The water converted into steam is automatically replaced
through an electric fill valve. Periodically, based on the water quality, the unit will also drain some water to dilute the build-up
of minerals in the steam generator. In cases of high water mineral content, an activated carbon filter is series with a
particulate filter, no more than 5 microns is suggested.
This humidifier has been designed exclusively to directly humidify rooms or ducts, using a distribution system. The
