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 in series
with a particulate filter, no more than 5 microns is suggested.
This humidifier has been designed exclusively to directly humidify residential rooms or ducts, using
