Cómo reparar un generador de duchas de vapor

What happens when the steam shower you've loved for more than a decade suddenly stops working properly? Maybe it's producing too little steam pressure, or perhaps it doesn't quite get as hot as it once did. Should you troubleshoot the problem yourself? Is it best to hire a plumber or electrician to fix it? Or is it time to simply replace your steam shower system with a new model?

It can be a challenge deciding what to do, but don't worry! The tips below will guide you through the decision-making process, so you can get your steam shower back up and running.

Most of the heavy lifting in a steam shower is done by the steam generator. Before you decide to repair your steam shower generator, find out if your unit is still covered under a warranty, or if not, how much it will cost to replace the unit. If you know the kilowatts (kW) of your steam generator, it should be relatively easy to determine the current price. Knowing the replacement cost can help you make an informed decision about repairing your existing unit or purchasing a new one.

After looking into the cost of a new steam shower generator, contact the manufacturer of your model to find out what they recommend. Depending on the technical support of the company, you might be able to talk to an expert who can help you diagnose the problem. If you've purchased a Delta^® Steam Shower Generator, you can contact the award-winning customer support team to get the help you need.

After speaking with the manufacturer, you'll have a better idea if you can fix the issue or if you need to replace the unit. The availability of parts, the cost of the repair, and the time left (if any) on your warranty will factor into the decision to repair or replace. If you decide to purchase a new model, matching the kilowatt of your current generator will ensure the new unit will operate in a similar manner.

If you need help with a repair or replacement, in-home repair services are readily available in most metro areas. Ask the manufacturer of your unit if they can recommend a local service company. It's important to find a trustworthy service provider with experience working on steam shower generators. If you're replacing or purchasing a new steam shower system, Delta Faucet has a trusted network of certified installers who can help.

If you don't have access to in-home repair services and are unable to troubleshoot the problem with the manufacturer, removing the unit and shipping it back to the manufacturer may be your only option. You may be able to get a cost estimate before you start the repair, so be sure to ask. Removing the generator should be done by a professional installer.
