Optional separate water connections for
steam generator and drain spray condenser.
Water Conditioning
It is essential to supply the steam generator with
water that will not form scale. Even though the
steam generator is engineered to minimize scale
formation, scale development depends on the
hardness of your water and the number of hours you
operate the equipment.
In some areas, water is low enough in mineral
content to avoid scale formation. But most water
supplies are full of minerals which form scale. It is
this scale which could lead to an early component
failure.
Your 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. Do not rely on unproven water treatments
which are sold for scale prevention or scale
removal. They don’t always work. The best
way to prevent scale is to supply the purest
possible water (30-40 ppm TDS).
2. If your water contains scale-forming minerals, as
most water does, use a well-maintained water
softener. Whether an exchangeable softener
cartridge or a regenerating system is chosen, a
regular exchange schedule is essential.
3. Installing a water meter between the softener
and the steamer will provide an accurate gauge
of water use, and will help determine when to
exchange cartridges or regenerate the softener.
Using a water softener will provide longer
generator life, higher steam capacity, and reduce
maintenance requirements.
4. If you notice a slowdown in steam production,
have the unit checked for scale build-up. Heavy
scale reduces the unit’s ability to boil water.
MINIMIZE SCALE PROBLEMS, BY USING AND
MAINTAINING A SOFTENER, AND BY CLEANING
THE STEAM GENERATOR REGULARLY.
Groen Convection Combo™ ovens are also available
with an option for two separate water connections —
one for the steam generator (soft water), the other
for the spray condenser (untreated water). The
steam generator only uses 14 to 31% of a
combination oven’s water.
Since softener systems are typically sized by total
GPH (gallons per hour), the second connection could
reduce treatment requirements by up to 80%,
resulting in significant savings.
