GETTING STARTED BEST PRACTICE Use TrueSTEAM with water that is less than 1 grain per gallon hardness. A properly functioning water softener will accomplish this. While the TrueSTEAM and its available filtration options help to address the issue of water quality and hardness, homes with extreme hard water problems should consider using a whole house water softener as the primary filtration device. Use of a whole house water softener will help protect the humidifier from excessive maintenance requirements as well as undue wear and tear in homes with hard water. In applications with a water softener, it is critical for the TrueSTEAM to draw its water supply from the cold water line after the water softener. Note: Be sure to check all local plumbing codes before beginning installation.
