Choosing the Proper Water Filter for your TrueSTEAM Humidifier

TrueSTEAM uses a water tank to hold water in place as it is converted to steam. When water is boiled, the dissolved minerals in the water (known as water hardness) fall out in solid form. This solid mineral fallout is known as scale or sediment.

The quantity of scale or sediment and the time it takes to accumulate in the tank depends on the hardness of the TrueSTEAM water supply. The harder the water, the more dissolved minerals it holds. This leads to faster solid mineral accumulation in the tank.

Honeywell provides water filtration solutions that fit the needs of the home’s water hardness. A water hardness test kit is included with TrueSTEAM to assess which filter is needed.

STEP ONE: Test the Water Hardness

1. Fill the plastic tube with water directly from the TrueSTEAM input water source. (Note: It is important to test the specific input to TrueSTEAM, as it may differ from the faucet taps in the home).
   
   
2. Dip the colored end of one of the test strips into the tube’s water for 3 seconds.
   
   
3. Remove the test strip. Do not shake the strip.
   
   
4. Wait 20 seconds and then match the test strip’s color to the closest color block on the water hardness scale. (Note: Strip color results are no longer valid after one minute).

STEP TWO: Interpret the Test Result

The color block will recommend the best water filter method for the home.
