Continual Fill

Units being advertised as continual fill are false advertising. These units have an extra holding tank anywhere between 3 to 5 liters depending on model. Once the holding tank is low you can add water without turning the unit off, however you have to add water. Units do not have a hose hook-up for continual use.

Problems: Low water warnings cannot be heard in most commercial environments.
If water runs out in both tanks pressure vessel can only be filled with small jets of water, this could take close to an hour to refill and reheat.

*To refill and reheat an ES1900 or ES2100 takes 10 to 12 minutes, and each unit will clean for 1.5 to 2.5 hours on one tank.

Commercial Use

“Commercial Use” means using an instrument in a commercial environment everyday for extended hours at a time. Vapor Steam units have pressure vessels that heat up to as high as 300º. When using equipment for extended hours it is not recommended to use plastic enclosed units with a metal tank heated to over 300º.

Problems: Plastic is combustible with high amp electricity and humidity from heating water, serious problems can occur.
There is no entity in the United States that test equipment for commercial or residential use. Companies advertising plastic vapor steam units as “commercial use” are just stamping “commercial” on these products. The manufacturers of these products actually list them as for home use.

*Eurosteam products are total stainless steel, all connections inside are made with copper tubing and brass threaded fittings, and hoses are 12 feet with steel cable support. This type of construction is better applicable for commercial use than plastic.
