Regular maintenance of steam humidifiers is critical to ensure long-lasting and efficient operation of the device. These types of humidifiers produce pure steam with the heat released directly by electric current, using the conductivity of the water enclosed in the steam cylinder. However, this process causes particles and components in the water to accumulate on the cylinder and electrodes.

If regular maintenance is not performed, particles in the water will negatively affect the performance of the device over time. In particular, consumables such as the steam cylinder or the electrode set may lose their functionality in a short period of time, such as 4-6 months, depending on the quality and content of the water and the operating time of the device. This can reduce the efficiency of the humidifier and cause contaminants built up inside to accumulate on other important components of the device.

The device's drainage system can partially discharge these accumulated particles, but without regular maintenance this system is also affected. Cylinder replacement or cleaning should be done periodically, especially if a cleanable type cylinder is used. Otherwise, accumulated particles may cause damage to the supply valve and drainage pump of the device, other than the cylinder, over time.

As a result, regular maintenance of electrode tank steam humidifiers is important to ensure the longevity of the device, increase energy efficiency and ensure the sustainability of a healthy indoor environment. These maintenance operations must be carried out in accordance with the instructions specified by the manufacturer and at certain intervals.
