Frequently Asked Questions for MrSteam Residential Steam
Implementing a luxury steam system requires a technical understanding of electrical circuit loads, material heat-absorption factors, and proper drainage physics. We have compiled these expert answers to ensure your MrSteam installation delivers technical precision and lasting reliability.
What is the difference between MrSteam MS and Super Series generators?
We recommend the MS Series for standard residential bathrooms up to 450 cu. ft., while we suggest the Super Series for larger luxury master suites up to 900 cu. ft. Both series utilize identical digital logic and are fully compatible with our high-end iSteamX and AirTempo controls.
Does MrSteam offer a "Quick-Start" feature for residential use?
While the generators follow an energy-efficient cold start, we suggest adding the SteamLinx WiFi module. This allows us to enable remote activation via your smartphone so your room is pre-heated and the steam is ready the moment you walk in.
Can I control a MrSteam generator with Alexa or Google Home?
Yes. By integrating the SteamLinx accessory, we make your steam system fully voice-compatible. This is a highly sought-after feature for modern smart homes, allowing for hands-free "Start Steam" commands from any room.
Is MrSteam made in the USA?
Yes. MrSteam generators are manufactured in Long Island City, New York. We value this domestic production as it ensures faster shipping lead times and guaranteed compliance with all US plumbing and electrical safety standards.
How do I calculate the "Sizing Factor" for a MrSteam generator?
We strictly follow the formula: (Length x Width x Height) x Wall Material Factor. If your room features natural marble or granite, we require a 2.0 multiplier; failing to double the size for these heat-absorbing materials is the primary reason for insufficient heat.
Can I install a MrSteam generator in a heated attic?
Yes, provided the ambient temperature remains above 50°F. We strictly caution against unheated attic placements, as freezing temperatures will burst internal solenoid valves and tanks, which is not covered under the factory warranty.
What electrical wire size is needed for a MrSteam MS9E?
The 9kW MS9E requires a dedicated 240V/Single Phase circuit with a 50-amp breaker and 8-gauge copper wire. We emphasize that a licensed electrician should always verify these requirements against the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Is the "AutoFlush" system worth the extra cost?
In our professional view, AutoFlush is mandatory. It is a motorized valve that automatically drains the tank 40 minutes after use, flushing out the calcium and scale buildup that otherwise compromises the heating elements and generator life.
Why is my MrSteam generator "Spitting" hot water?
This is typically caused by a "trap" or dip in the copper steam line. We strictly suggest ensuring the steam pipe has a continuous slope toward the steam head to prevent condensation from pooling and being ejected as hot water.
How often should I manually descale a MrSteam generator?
If your system lacks AutoFlush, we recommend a manual flush every 1–2 months. Even with AutoFlush, we suggest a professional descaling with Sutherland solution once a year in states with extreme hard water like Arizona or Florida.
What is the difference between iSteamX and AirTempo?
We recommend the iSteamX wired touchscreen for those seeking full media and light integration. The wireless AirTempo is our top choice for remodels where running a data cable through existing walls is physically impractical.
Where should the "MSTS" temperature sensor be placed?
We suggest placing the sensor 6 inches below the ceiling, away from the door and steam path. Placing it too close to the steam head will cause "short-cycling," where the unit shuts off before the bather's area reaches target temperature.
Why is my MrSteam control panel showing "Err 1"?
Err 1 indicates a communication break. We recommend checking the data cable for loose connections or bent pins. We have found that a 60-second power cycle ("reboot") of the generator often clears minor software communication errors.
What is the MrSteam "Limited Lifetime Warranty"?
MrSteam provides a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the generator tank and elements for residential users. We note that the unit must be installed by licensed professionals and have a functioning AutoFlush to maintain this comprehensive coverage.
Does a MrSteam generator increase the value of my home?
Yes. We have found that a branded steam shower is categorized as a high-end wellness upgrade in US real estate, often providing a higher return on investment (ROI) than traditional bathroom features like jetted tubs.
Do I need a "Steam Shield" for my bather's safety?
Yes. We strictly suggest the snap-on Acrylic Shield for the steam head. Since steam exits the head at roughly 212°F, the shield directs vapor upward, preventing accidental leg burns if a bather brushes against the outlet.
Why is the MrSteam "Linear" steam head so popular?
We recommend the Linear Steam Head for its flush grout-line installation. It is significantly quieter than round heads and releases a wide "curtain" of steam, making it the premier choice for modern minimalist designs.
Can I use aromatics with my MrSteam generator?
Yes. We provide steam heads featuring integrated "AromaWells." By adding a few drops of MrSteam’s pure essential oils into the well, the heat of the vapor naturally infuses the entire room with fragrance.
How much water does a 20-minute MrSteam session use?
We have verified that a 20-minute session consumes less than 2 gallons of water. We consider this an extremely eco-friendly wellness option compared to a standard 10-minute shower, which uses over 20 gallons.
What is a "Steam Drip Pan" and is it required?
The Drip Pan is a safety tray installed beneath the generator. We strictly require this for closet or attic installations, as it catches and directs minor leaks to a drain, preventing water damage to subfloors or finished ceilings.
