Hello, dear forum users! Maybe someone came across mold (fungus) appeared in the water tank in the steam generator within a week. How and what can be removed?
Mold in the water tank of the steam generator

What kind of device is it? I only have a steam generator in the shower stall ...

Are you sure this is mold and not deposits? The photo is not clearly visible ...

It is not difficult to fight mold. For example LG H&H has Homestar Mold anti-mold paste

Kapet, thanks for the advice. Do you think it might be deposits? Iron, for example? I always used water from the filter (jug) and there was no such thing.

W_W, with bleach can wash. well, kind of whitish, just dilute ..

Could it be that mold came in with the tap water? The water was contaminated and dirty.
Now, if only pour a little mold remover (there are some) and rinse inside. If possible, then clean it with a brush. Then rinse and dry.
But use another water for cleaning.

I only use filtered water in the container of the steam generator. At least to avoid scale inside the tank.
And wherever clean water is required for devices (iron, ironing press, and so on) I use only filtered water in the tanks of the devices - it has been checked, all devices work perfectly.

Quite possible! Have you yourself decided on what kind of plaque, or other deposits? Iron always gives a red bloom.

At home it is better to put more powerful filters, a toy barrier - no more ...

There is a topic Drinking water purifiers
Kapet
Yes, - ideally, osmosis is needed here ...

gawala, Admin, Kapet, Thank you so much! Now I could see (the photo does not convey) black color, it looks like flakes. Some swim, others stuck to plastic
Kapet
I would try to rinse all this in a weak solution of vinegar or citric acid. But, in order not to spoil the device for sure, it may be worth contacting the manufacturer's hotline for advice ...

Recently, I defrosted the freezer .... It was a pity to boil clean water from the filter tank, and pour water into the kettle just from the tap. So the teapot inside began after the second pouring to "grow" inside with bloom.
This is the kind of water that flows in our water pipes
While the water is cold, nothing is visible in it, no impurities - but they began to heat it up and the effect of flakes was obtained, and what else is there

And there was also a problem with water, some time ago. Something happened to the water with us, repair work was underway, the water was with dashes either strongly or not at all. And then one day, I was washing the dishes in the kitchen, and suddenly water began to flow ... a white liquid, soapy, as if dirty water was released from the washing machine into the sink ... Of course, I turned off the tap, decided to wait. She even called her DEZ, presented her legal claims, to which I was sent ... to the water utility to sort it out ...

This is how it happens with tap water Only a powerful filter! In the topic of filters, I have already shown my filters several times after replacing them, how many things are going there
Kapet
Probably preventive measures are already outlined in the operating manual of the device, and it is only necessary to "refresh" the memory.
If not, then call the support service, the manufacturer's hotline. Usually calls to such phones 0-800 ... are free.

Kapet, I did prophylactic boiling with the recommended agent (I have had the device since 2014) and there were no problems ... What happened now ...
Mandraik Ludmila
Valentine, boil prophylactically with water and lemon, I rinse the coffee maker with a pressure of 15 bar like this, everything is cleaned well, although nothing is visible in the coffee maker. But their principle of operation is similar and the steam generator in the coffee maker is available
I would add a little more liquid for washing dishes, after all, do not cook coffee with a steam generator ... A mixture of water, vinegar or lemons and liquid for washing dishes, in my kitchen it is constantly in a jar, I soak rags and sponges in it for disinfection , and if strong contamination (fish, meat) - I pass it through the microwave - I boil, everything is cleaned perfectly.
