We view Mr. Steam commercial generators as the industry standard for upscale wellness environments, backed by over 50 years of engineering refinement. Our collection serves the specific needs of architects, health club operators, and luxury resorts, providing advanced vapor technology that enhances professional spa facilities worldwide. From the high-performance CX series for large wellness centers to the space-conscious CT Day Spa systems, we focus on delivering consistent, reliable steam output designed to endure heavy-duty daily use.
- Industrial-Grade Reliability: We prioritize 100% stainless steel construction inside and out to resist corrosion and thermal cycling, ensuring your facility maintains peak uptime and a low total cost of ownership.
- Advanced Management Interfaces: We offer intuitive 7" CX touchscreens and iTempo/Plus digital controls, allowing staff to program 7-day schedules, set precise temperatures, and monitor system status at a glance.
- Hygiene and Maintenance Efficiency: We provide factory-installed AutoFlush systems that automatically purge sediment after every session, protecting heating elements and ensuring consistent steam quality for every guest.
- Silent Atmospheric Operation: We recommend the CX series for boutique environments where guest tranquility is paramount, as its atmospheric design operates significantly quieter than traditional pressurized boiler systems.
Frequently Asked Questions for MrSteam Commercial Steam
Managing a commercial steam environment requires a technical understanding of high-traffic duty cycles, local plumbing codes, and material science. We have compiled these expert answers to ensure your facility operates with technical precision and safety.
What is the difference between MrSteam CT Day Spa and CU Series?
We categorize the CT Day Spa (6kW–14kW) for intermittent commercial use, such as hotel suites or boutique spas. In contrast, we recommend the heavy-duty, pressurized CU Series for high-traffic gyms and clubs that require continuous steam availability throughout the day.
Does MrSteam make a "Quiet" commercial generator?
Yes. We suggest the MrSteam CX Series for high-end environments. It utilizes an atmospheric design that runs much quieter than pressurized boiler systems, ensuring guest relaxation is never interrupted by mechanical noise.
Can one MrSteam CU generator power both a Men’s and Women’s room?
Yes. We can configure a single large CU Series generator to service two separate locker rooms simultaneously. This setup requires two "Digital 1" control packages to manage the unique temperature and safety demands of each room independently.
Is the MrSteam CT Day Spa unit essentially a residential generator?
No. While they share a similar footprint, we note that CT Day Spa units include "Express Steam" pre-heating and industrial-grade elements specifically engineered to handle more frequent daily cycles than standard residential models.
How do I size a MrSteam commercial room with natural marble?
For commercial rooms utilizing natural stone, we strictly apply a 2.0 multiplier. We have found that stone acts as a significant heat sink; failing to double the cubic footage calculation will result in a room that never reaches therapeutic temperatures.
What electrical voltage is standard for MrSteam commercial units?
We offer commercial units in 208V and 240V single-phase for smaller facilities, as well as 208V, 240V, 480V, and 600V three-phase for industrial use. We recommend verifying your building’s specific voltage with an electrician prior to selection.
Why is a "Blowdown Valve" required for CU generators?
Pressurized CU boilers require a blowdown system to purge sediment from the tank bottom. We note that in most US jurisdictions, daily blowdown is a mandatory maintenance requirement to maintain safety certifications and prevent scale damage.
Do I need an "After-Cooler" for my commercial steam room?
Yes, many local codes require a tempering valve or after-cooler. We use these to mix cold water with hot blowdown discharge, ensuring the water enters the sewer below 140°F to prevent damage to building PVC pipes.
How often should the AutoFlush system run in a commercial gym?
We program these systems to run at the end of every business day. This automated flushing of mineral-rich water is our primary recommendation for preventing element failure, especially in regions with hard water.
Can I use Eucalyptus oil in a public MrSteam commercial room?
Yes, but we require the use of the "AromaFlo" pump. In public settings, this prevents guests from manually applying oil to steam heads, which can create a slippery floor hazard and inconsistent scent distribution.
Why is the "Steam Stop" button mandatory in US commercial rooms?
Per UL and local safety codes, an emergency "Steam Stop" must be within reach of bathers. We install these to provide immediate shut-off if a guest feels overwhelmed, ensuring a safe public wellness environment.
How long do commercial MrSteam heating elements last?
In high-traffic environments running 16+ hours a day, we generally see a lifespan of 2 to 4 years. While we use industrial-grade elements, they are wear items that we suggest inspecting annually during routine service.
Is the MrSteam CU Series UL-Listed?
Yes. We ensure all MrSteam commercial generators (CT, CX, and CU) are cULus listed, which is critical for meeting US building codes and insurance requirements for public-occupancy facilities.
What is the "Manufacturer’s Data Report" for the CU Series?
This is a legal ASME certification document supplied with every pressurized CU boiler. We remind facility managers to keep this on-site, as it is a mandatory requirement for state-mandated boiler inspections.
Can I install a commercial generator in a basement with no floor drain?
No. We strictly suggest installation near a floor drain. Commercial units require drainage for safety relief valves and blowdown systems; local plumbing codes mandate a drain to handle high-temperature discharge.
Does MrSteam offer a 7-day programmable timer for gyms?
Yes. Our Digital 1 and CX controllers feature 7-day programming. We find this essential for facilities wanting the room ready for early morning rushes while automatically shutting down at night to save on energy.
Can I monitor my commercial steam room from my phone?
Yes, through the SteamLinx module. While we use the "Digital 1" as the primary on-site safety interface, we offer mobile app monitoring so managers can check generator status from anywhere.
Why are MrSteam commercial steam heads made of solid brass?
Commercial heads face constant thermal stress. We utilize heavy-forged solid brass because plastic or inferior metals would warp or corrode under the 24/7 heat demands of a professional spa.
How much water does a 24kW commercial generator use per hour?
We have verified that a 24kW CU unit consumes approximately 6 to 8 gallons of water per hour of continuous use. We consider this highly efficient compared to the water demands of commercial pools or hot tubs.
What is the warranty on MrSteam commercial products?
MrSteam provides a 1-year limited warranty on commercial parts. We note that this differs from residential warranties to account for the intense "10-to-1" wear ratio typical in high-traffic commercial gyms and spas.
