Plumbing

All plumbing shall be performed by a qualified licensed plumber and in accordance with applicable National and local codes.

  • Use unions on all pipe connections.
  • Use only brass piping or rigid copper tubing as permitted by codes.
  • Do not use black, galvanized, PVC, or PE pipe.

WARNING water supply and steam piping must be flushed to remove flux and other debris prior to connecting the steam generator.
Failure to flush the steam piping may result in flux poisoning or a hazardous condition. Failure to rinse the steam piping may result in blockage or an inoperable system.

Water supply(3/8”NPT)

  1. Connect to the cold water line.

  2. Provide a shut-off valve in the water supply line upstream of the steambath generator.

  3. Do not overheat the inlet solenoid valve with solder connections.
    Overheating will damage parts.

  4. Flush the inlet water line thoroughly before making a connection to the unit.

  5. Strainer recommended upstream of feed water connection.

  6. For best performance, the water pressure should be 15 to 20 psig.
    Reduce pressure as required.

  7. Provide anti-water hammer device as required.

  8. Install an approved backflow preventer as required by local codes.

Drain (1″ N P T )
The drain from the generator should not share an undersink trap unless the generator is mounted higher than the sink.

NOTICE A drain valve is provided to facilitate servicing. Provide a drain line connection from the steambath generator drain valve according to National and local Codes. Check local plumbing code for receptor, trap, and vent requirements. Do not connect the Drain line and Safety Valve line together. Unit drains by gravity. Do NOT connect the drain valve to the steam piping.

Safety Valve ( 3 4″N P T )
Where permitted by local codes, provide an outlet plumbing connection for the safety valve.

WARNING: Do NOT connect a shut-off valve or plug at the safety valve outlet to ensure proper and automatic safety valve operation. DO NOT connect a shut-off valve or any construction in the steam supply piping.
Condensation Pan
MrSteam strongly recommends using a condensation pan in the unlikely event of a plumbing leak. Check local plumbing codes for receptor, trap, and vent requirements. Condensation pans drain by gravity. The condensation pan is equipped with an integral 4″ fitting. See page 14 for additional condensation pan installation information.
AromaSteam
If the optional AromaSteam Electronic Oil Delivery System (PN: MS AROMA) is to be installed, a 90-degree T plumbing fitting must be installed at a designated location on the steam outlet line.
See the MrSteam Aroma-Steam Operation and Instruction Manual for installation information before the steam piping is installed at www.mrsteam.com technical downloads.

Steam Piping ( 1 2″ NPT)

  1. Do not install any valve in the steam piping. The flow of steam must be unobstructed.
  2. Use 12-inch brass pipe or copper tubing from unit to steam head as permitted by codes.
  3. Insulate steam piping with fiberglass or similar insulation rated 212° F or higher.
  4. Pitch steam piping 1 4″ per foot towards the steam head or steam generator to avoid valleys and condensate trapping.mr steam CT9EC1 1Ph Day Spa Steam Generator - Steam Piping

WARNING Failure to pitch the steam piping as required for condensate to drain may cause condensate to block the flow of steam. Blocking the steam flow may cause steam pressure to discharge boiling water through the steam head, resulting in a scalding hazard. Blocking the flow of steam may cause steam to discharge ough the safety valve, resulting in a scalding hazard.

NOTICE A 1.5″ hole in the stea m roo m is required to mount the steam head.

Water Quality Information

For optimum results, the water supply should be tested prior to installation. If the mineral content exceeds the following recommended limits, various external treatment processes are recommended to correct the problem.
NOTICE 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. Poor water quality can affect efficiency or result in steam generator damage. Water contains impurities in the solution and suspension. These impurities concentrate in the generator. The concentration of these impurities increases as more feedwater is introduced into the generator and steam is produced. If the suspended solids are allowed to concentrate beyond certain limits, a deposit or “scale” will form on the generator’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 water quality and by periodic draining of the generator.

RECOMMENDED FEEDWATER QUALITY
Hardness, ppm 8 85 (0.5 5 gpg)
P-Alkalinity, ppm 85 410 (5 24 gpg)
T. Alkalinity, ppm 200 500 (7 0 gpg)
pH (strength of alkalinity) 8.0 11.4
The CT AutoFlush System feature automatically drains the CT generator following each use. A time delay allows the water to cool down (about two hours) before it drains by gravity for a safe and gentle operation.

Installing the AromaSteam Steamhead ( 1 ⁄2″ NPT)

A11 ⁄2″ clearance hole around the steam pipe is needed to mount the steam head.
STEP 1
Locate steam head 6-12 inches above the floor, except for:

  1. Tub/shower enclosures, install 6 inches above tub top edge.
  2. Consult with the supplier of acrylic, fiberglass, and other non-heat resistant enclosures for recommended steam head location.
  3. Use Acrylic Shield MS 103412. See instructions provided with a steam shield.
  4. To reduce noise do not locate the steam head within 12″ of a wall.

STEP 2
Install the steam head with the oil well facing up as shown.
Hand tightening is sufficient when Teflon or equal pipe thread sealing compound is used. STEP 3
Secure a bronze drop ear fitting to a header and run a 1 ⁄2″ copper steam pipe from the steam generator to the drop-ear fitting. Install a temporary nipple 6″ or longer) in the drop-ear fitting to locate the steam head after the wall is finished. STEP 4
After the wall has been finished, mark on the nipple where the surface 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.mr steam CT9EC1 1Ph Day Spa Steam

Initial Start-Up and Checkout

  1. Turn on the control. Follow specific instructions provided with controls.
  2. Steam will begin to appear in approximately 5 minutes at the steam head. Steam will shut off when the desired temperature is reached and will automatically resume when room temperature drops a below-set point.
  3.  Steam will shut off automatically when the control counts down to zero. To shut the steam off manually, turn control OFF. To clear steam from the enclosure area, turn the shower on before opening the door.
  4. If the unit does not start and the control does not turn ON (the controlled display does not light up) then turn the breaker off for 20 seconds and try again.
  5. Refer to specific instruction sheets for installation, operation, and maintenance of optional equipment and Control.

Maintenance

MrSteam steambath generators require little maintenance.
Other than draining, maintenance procedures are minimal. When AutoFlush is not installed the manual drain valve should be opened fully flushing out accumulated materials, salts, and other particles which are natural by- products of boiling water, after each use.

CAUTION Flush a minimum of two-three hours after the control has been turned off to insure that the water has cooled.
WARNING Draining immediately after a steam cycle may expose PVC and other piping to high-temperature water. Check local codes. The unit will refill automatically after 10 minutes. In areas of hard water, a MrSteam AutoFlush ® system is recommended for generator longevity.

Steam Generator Operation

MrSteam recommends beginning steam bathing at a low temperature setting to gauge comfort and safety levels. Set the duration at 10 minutes max. to gauge comfort and safety levels. This will allow the steam generator to heat up and begin producing.

Troubleshooting

WARNING All electrical troubleshooting is to be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.

Step 1 Check your main incoming power to the unit.
Step 2 Verify the transformer is receiving 208/240 VAC.
Step 3 Verify that you have 24VAC coming out of the transformer, WHT & WHT/BLU wires, into the board.
Step 4 Verify that you have the green light on the PC board.
Step 5 Push the white test button to run the generator on a 10-minute test cycle.
Step 6 Verify that you have 24 VAC to the water feed solenoid, GRY & WHT/GRY wires (will fill when needed).
