Oven Steam Cleaner Solutions: CTU Vapour Calcium Treatment Units for Steam Ovens
Protect your kitchen equipment with CTU Vapour — Water Care’s sustainable alternative to chemical and single-use steam oven cleaners.
Designed for commercial and industrial ovens, our Vapour range delivers advanced limescale protection, longer equipment life, and zero plastic waste through our UK-based regeneration programme.
Industrial Oven Cleaner Technology, Redefined for Performance
Unlike standard commercial oven cleaners, the CTU Vapour system treats the problem at its source. Limescale build-up inside steam ovens, combi systems, bratt pans, boilers, and pasta cookers is one of the leading causes of breakdowns, energy inefficiency, and costly repairs.
CTU Vapour eliminates these risks by conditioning incoming water, protecting elements, sensors, and oven chambers to maintain consistent steam quality and performance.
Available in four capacities:
- CTU Vapour 10 – 6-grid combi ovens
- CTU Vapour 16 – 10-grid combi ovens
- CTU Vapour 23 – 20-grid combi ovens
- CTU Vapour 30 – Stacked/dual oven configurations
All models are available in standard 2-port or optional 3-port configurations — ideal for boiler-fed ovens with drain or spray arms for untreated supply.
The Sustainable Steam Oven Cleaner Alternative
When kitchens rely on traditional steam oven cleaners, they introduce chemicals, single-use plastics, and unnecessary waste. CTU Vapour provides the same clean outcome, protecting oven chambers and components through a regenerable water treatment system.
Each CTU unit can be regenerated, recycled, and reused, reducing single-use plastics and landfill waste while ensuring full compliance with Water Care’s circular economy model.
- Zero plastic waste: 100% recyclable calcium treatment units.
- UK regeneration service: Rapid turnaround and carbon-neutral logistics.
- Extended equipment life: Prevents scale, corrosion, and downtime.
- Compatible with all major brands: Rational, Lincat, Blue Seal, Convotherm, and more.

FAQs: CTU Vapour Steam Oven Cleaner
What is CTU Vapour?
Our CTU Vapour is a calcium treatment unit designed for steam ovens and other catering appliances. It removes hardness minerals from incoming water to prevent limescale build-up and ensure consistent performance.
How does CTU Vapour differ from a traditional oven steam cleaner?
Unlike chemical or manual oven steam cleaners, the CTU Vapour conditions the water before it enters your equipment, preventing scale rather than reacting to it. It’s a cleaner, greener, and more cost-effective alternative for commercial kitchens.
Does a steam cleaner really clean an oven?
Yes — steam cleaners are highly effective for removing baked-on grease, grime, and residues without harsh chemicals. The CTU Vapour enhances this process by ensuring the steam itself is pure and scale-free, preventing long-term damage and maintaining oven hygiene standards.
How to clean an oven with a steam cleaner?
To clean an oven with a steam cleaner, fill the appliance reservoir with treated water (such as water conditioned by a CTU Vapour). Run the cleaning cycle as per the manufacturer’s instructions — the high-temperature steam loosens grease and deposits, which can then be wiped away easily. Regular use keeps your oven hygienic and efficient.
Is CTU Vapour suitable for industrial ovens?
Yes. CTU Vapour units are used widely across commercial and industrial ovens, including combi, boiler-fed, and stacked systems.
Can the CTU Vapour be regenerated or recycled?
Absolutely. Each unit can be returned to Water Care for full regeneration, extending lifespan and supporting your sustainability commitments.
How often should I replace or regenerate my CTU Vapour?
Frequency depends on usage and water hardness. Typically, we recommend regeneration every 3–12 months.
