DRAIN VALVE (Optional)

MAINTENANCE OF THE HELO HSX-GENERATOR

The HELO HSX-generator has an automatic clean and flush feature which drains and flushes the

tank after every bathing session (Requires the optional Drain valve).

This will improve the life length of the steam generator but it is not a substitute for the periodic de-

scaling (see instructions) in areas with hard water.

Testing the water quality and descaling the HELO HSX-steam generator:

Water hardness test: Perform a water test with the test strips enclosed in steam generator package.

Dip the test strip briefly (1 sec) in water and shake off excess water. Check the test strip after 1

minute.

Test result:

< 3° dH, very soft water, descaling after 500 hours of use.

> 4° dH, soft water, descaling after 100 hours of use.

> 7° dH, semi hard water, descaling after 50 hours of use.

> 14°dH, hard water, descaling after 30 hours of use, installation of a water-softener

is recommended

> 21°dH, very hard water, Install a water softener.

These numbers are recommendations from the manufacturer, descaling with citric acid can

be carried out more often.
