Armstrong International Inc.
www.armstrong-intl.comArmstrong International's HumidiClean electronic steam humidifier with patented ionic bed technology provides an easy way to save labor and materials for seasonal maintenance, according to the manufacturer. The ionic beds are designed to attract solids from the boiling water, preventing the solids from plating out on the heating element or on the inner stainless steel tank walls, said the manufacturer. Therefore, tank cleaning is minimized and the effective service life of parts, especially the submersed elements which traditionally accumulate scale and chemical deposits, are greatly extended. The unit uses untreated tap water, deionized water, demineralized water, softened water, or reverse osmosis water sources to create steam.
