WATER QUALITY INFORMATION
IM ORTANT NOTE: For optimum results, the water supply should be tested prior to initial startup. If the mineral content
exceeds the following recommended limits, various external treatment processes may be used to correct the problem.
NOTE: An analysis of the on-site water must be made by a recognized and reliable water treatment
company to ascertain the existing condition and treatment required.
RECOMMENDED FEEDWATER QUALITY
ardness, ppm 8 – 85 (~0.5 – 5 gpg)
P-Alkalinity, ppm 85 – 410 (~5 – 24 gpg)
T. Alkalinity, ppm 200 – 500 (~7 – 0 gpg)
p (strength of alkalinity) 8.0 – 11.4
Every 2 months, or more often in “hard” water areas, the manual drain valve should be opened fully flushing out accu-
mulated materials, salts and other particles which are natural by-products of boiling water. See page 13 for draining
information.
Water quality can affect efficiency or result in boiler damage if neglected. Water contains impurities in solution and
suspension. These impurities concentrate within the steam generator tank. The concentration of these impurities
increases as more feedwater is introduced into the steam generator tank and steam is produced. If the impurities are
allowed to concentrate beyond certain limits, a deposit or “scale” will form on the steam generator tank’s internal
surfaces. This deposit can interfere with the proper generator operation and cause generator failure. The concentration
of these impurities is generally controlled by the feed water quality and periodically by draining the generator.

INSTALLATION OF THE STEAM HEAD
(1⁄2”NPT, PN 103937)
WITH ACRYLIC SHIELD (PN 103938)
The Acrylic Shield (PN 103938) is for use when acrylic or other
non-heat resistant materials are used for the steamroom enclosure.
INSTALLER: Because the steam head and
direct steam emissions are very hot, locate the steam head where
incidental contact by bather with the steam head or direct steam
emission cannot occur.
IM ORTANT NOTE:These instructions are only for use in
installations using an Acrylic Shield (pur 103938).
Step 1
Locate steam head at least 12 inches from an adjacent wall or
bench and 6-12 inches above floor, except for tub/shower
enclosures, install 6 inches above tub top edge.
The steamhead shall be installed with the oil well facing up as
shown. and tightening is sufficient when teflon or equal pipe
thread sealing compound is used.
IM ORTANT NOTE:to preserve steam head finish, do not use wrench
or other tools to tighten. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or chemi-
cals. Use only water with mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge.
Consult with supplier of acrylic, fiberglass
and other non-heat resistant enclosures for recommended
steamhead location.
Step 2
Secure a bronze drop ear fitting to a header and run a 1⁄2" copper
steam line from the steam generator to the drop ear fitting. Install
a temporary nipple (6" or longer)in the drop ear fitting to locate the
steamhead after the wall is finished.
Step 3
After the wall has been finished, mark on the nipple where the sur-
face of the wall is. Remove the nipple and measure the portion that
was in the wall (the end to your mark). Subtract 1⁄8" from that
dimension and select a brass nipple of that length to finish the
installation.
Step 4
Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the new nipple and screw
the nipple into the steamhead. Do not use wrenches or tools which
would damage the steamhead's finish.
Slide the acrylic shield onto the nipple-steamhead assembly
so the steam head sits in the acrylic shield.
Apply clear silicone in the groove on the back of the acrylic shield.
Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the nipple and screw the
nipple and steamhead assembly you just made into the drop ear fit-
ting in the wall. The steamhead should be flush with the wall and
the well must be facing up.
The acrylic shield will be sandwiched between the wall and steam
head.
