If you've selected the AromaSteam System for your Mr.Steam home steam shower generator, you may want to know how to connect the Aroma Request Cable. In this article, we show you how to do so.
AromaSteam from Mr.Steam allows you to combine aromatherapy with your steam experience by automatically infusing scent into your Mr.Steam steam shower.
As this 44 second AromaSteam video demonstrates, aroma will be evenly and consistently infused within the steam for an optimum aromatherapy experience.

The Aroma Request Cable is what connects the AromaSteam System to the steam shower generator, providing an even infusion of steamtherapy oils into your steam shower.
To merge scented oil and steam into a sensual mix, the AromaSteam injector pump atomizes the oil and creates the perfect in-steam aromatherapy experience.
You'll want to install the AromaSteam System in an easily accessible location so you can monitor and replace the essential oils that the system uses.
Although the system connects to the steam generator, it should not be installed directly below or above the Mr.Steam steam generator where it will be subject to heat. The ambient temperature at and around the AromaSteam system shouldn't exceed 90° F.
The minimum distance between the system and a source of heat - e.g. the steam generator or a heating system - is 1.5 ft. If you can't maintain this minimum distance, consider installing a radiation plate or heat insulation between the heat source and the Aroma system.

3. Next, Test your aroma pump by turning on the power and selecting the AromaSteam option from your control panel.
(Although Kris makes it look easy to connect the aroma cable, Mr.Steam recommends using a professional to do so. )
