Steam vaporizer question
    #18015646 - 03/26/13 06:42 PM (11 years, 5 days ago)

I am using a warm steam vaporizer for humidity in my grow environment.

I looked around on the site found information on warm steam vaporizers not being a good option because they can't possibly heat an environment too much. Luckily the room are using is pretty big. At least by standards of a closet or a Martha. So heat is not a factor. And I figured because it steam it probably would not be a source of contamination.

It is set up with a very small fan that pushes the steam through the environment.

But just to be on the safe side I thought I would look for a consensus.

Can a steam vaporizer cause contamination? I rinse it out each time I fill it. That's twice a day. In the water that goes into it has a little bit of salt in it. I figured that as well would probably cut down on potential contamination.

Are there any reasons to avoid the steam vaporizer in this environment?

Thank you for your responses

The only issue i can see is it causing alot of condenation, which in turn could lead to moisture pooling at the bottom of your greenhouses/martha. which could enourage bacterial growth.

There is a lot of condensation. The structure itself is a small concrete room. Inside it's really well painted so it's not porous at all. But that was my next problem to tackle is all the condensation to deal with. I thought the main reason was because this concrete room is exposed to cold temperatures outside. It's fairly temperature stable inside but I figured that's why I was getting so much sweating. But maybe a switch in my humidifier would cause less of an issue. I do have a humidity cannon, cool mist humidifier, that I can put in there on a timer. I have avoided it only because it's a little difficult to set up. But I'll check it out because the connotation is clearly becoming an issue. Thank you very much.
