INSTALLATION & USER GUIDE
PLUMBING INSTALLATION
WARNING! The installation of all water supply lines should be in accordance to all national and local codes by a licensed plumber.
1. Use unions when connecting pipes.
2. Use brass pipes or copper pipe only.
3. Do not use black and galvanized or PVC pipes.
ATTENTION! Please ensure a quick connect and release system in employed when installing steam generator to plumbing. Doing
so will ensure quick and easy access to the generator for regular care and maintenance and is a critical condition for an active
SteamSpa Warranty protection.
WATER SUPPLY PIPE (1/2’’)
1. Connect hot water or cold water pipes. However it should not exceed 160F.
2. Install a shut off valve in the water supply line. The shut off valve should be installed in a place where it is easily accessible in
case of an emergency.
3. Flush the water supply line completely before connecting the water pipe to the steam generator, to remove any sediments in
the water.
4. Use a 3/8” steel braided flex hose with a shut off valve to connect the main waterline to the generator. See page 7 illustration
1.2.
5. The shut off valve should be open approximately 25% to reduce water pressure to the generator. The water pressure to the
generator should be between 15 to 20 PSI if necessary, decrease the pressure accordingly.
6. A hydro pneumatic pressure reducing valve must be installed. The SteamSpa quick release & pressure reducing kit comes
with a pressure reducing device calibrated to work with any SteamSpa generator unit.
7. Do not use PEX or PVC tubing.
INLINE WATER FILTER
WARNING! When installing an Inline Water Filter it is imperative that the water pressure entering the filter is reduced to 15 to 20
PSI to avoid any leaks or cracks.
STEAM PIPE (3/4’’)
1. Do not install any stop valves in the steam pipes. The steam can never be obstructed.
2. Install a 3/4” copper or brass pipe between the steam generator and the steam nozzle.
3. If needed, the heat insulation material used to insulate the steam pipe should be resistant to temperatures as high as 240F or
higher.
4. The shorter the distance, the better. Use curved elbows when connecting pipes to allow the steam to flow smoothly through
the steam pipe.
