Is there regular maintenance required of the HydroSteam? 
Yes, minimal maintenance is required. The HydroSteam has an automatic fresh water self-flushing feature to maintain hygienic conditions and to prolong heater element life.

The HydroSteam generator is similar to a kettle except it simply fills itself with water and creates steam and then self drains after use. However, as the quality of drinking water varies from location to location and some water may have high calcium/minerals content it is recommended that the heater elements are de-scaled periodically – the HydroSteam Touch Screen will display a message to prompt the de-scale process. De-scaling is straight forward process that can be performed by the owner.

Does HydroSteam consume lots of water & energy? 
No, the HydroSteam uses approximately 7-10 litres of water for a 30 minute steam session, that’s equivalent to One (1) bucket of water. The generator uses around the same energy as operating an air conditioner for 30 minutes.

What is used to De-Scale the heater elements? 
HydroSteam supply ‘DE-SCALER’ a citric acid based compound that is a non-hazardous natural occurring product. It is environmentally friendly and very effective in removing scale build up on heater elements in steam generators, coffee machines, kettles etc.
