I&rsquo;ve also got my eye out for a good deal on one for when my current dryer gives up on me for good. Although it seems obvious now, when I first started looking into these appliances I wasn&rsquo;t sure how the steam came into it. Was the water from the clothes converted into steam? Or was steam production a separate feature?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the water from the clothes is converted into steam, this isn&rsquo;t the reason these appliances are called steam dryers. The addition of steam is a separate feature and, with a few exceptions, the dryer needs to be hooked up to a water supply for you to benefit from the steam dry feature. But what if you don&rsquo;t want to or can&rsquo;t do this?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-nutshell-Z1Qhk5W wp-block-lazyblock-nutshell\"><p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e7d1b1;color:#575f60;font-size:18px\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497 eager-load\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20200%2050'%3E%3Crect%20width='200'%20height='50'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png.webp 300w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><br><strong>Steam dryers can still function even if they are not connected to water.

Afterward, it adds steam to your load. Then it runs your laundry through another heat cycle to evaporate any lingering dampness from the steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different steam dryers may create this steam cycle differently &ndash; some create steam themselves, others will release a fine spray of mist that quickly turns into steam when met with the high temperature inside the dryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This steam is able to penetrate your clothing and provide many benefits not offered by a traditional dryer.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the steam is able to remove light smells, meaning you can use the function as a light &ldquo;wash&rdquo; or refresh when your clothes aren&rsquo;t quite dirty yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The steam can also have a softening effect on your clothing&rsquo;s fibers, making them comfier to wear and reducing the number and severity of wrinkles created compared to a non-steam dryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two Types of Water Sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To enjoy the steam dry function of these appliances, a water supply is required, which makes them particularly different from <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/does-tumble-dryer-need-water-supply\/\">most other types of tumble dryers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some steam dryers need to be hooked up directly to a cold water supply<\/strong>, same as other water-using appliances, such as washers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13676\" width=\"629\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13676 lazyload\" width=\"629\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cold-water-supply.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This allows the steam dryer to pull all the water it needs automatically. However, it could pose a problem if you do not have the space to put the dryer near a water supply. Or if you only have one water supply in the room and do not know how to or do not feel comfortable splitting it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other steam dryers operate using a steam feeder, <\/strong>which is essentially a separate pull-out drawer or container that must be filled with water in order for the steam cycle to be functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is convenient if you are unable or unwilling to connect your dryer to the water supply. However, this can also be a bit annoying if you don&rsquo;t like the idea of having the extra step of having to refill the steam feeder all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connecting Dryer to Water Outlet Is Simple<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be able to connect the dryer to water even if you only have one water source. If this is your concern regarding the water supply, don&rsquo;t worry. There&rsquo;s one easy fix for this problem &ndash; using a Y hose connector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all steam dryers come with a Y connector, so you may need to purchase one yourself, along with a pair of pliers, in order to help ensure your connections are tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0749PS9ZH?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kelaro Premium Steam Dryer Stainless Steel Hose Installation Kit (with y connector)<\/a><sup><sub> <\/sub><\/sup><\/strong><sup><sub>(amazon link)<\/sub><\/sup><\/em><\/li><li><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00002N5JF?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Channellock Tongue and Groove Pliers<\/a> <\/em><\/strong><em><sub><sup>(amazon link)<\/sup><\/sub><\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While your dryer should come with its own instructions, the Y hose installation is pretty universal.

This means that even if you do not hook your steam dryer up to a water supply or fill the steam feeder, you can still use the drying programs that do not require steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Steam Function Won&rsquo;t Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, if you are unable to connect your steam dryer to water, you will not be able to use any of the steam functions. Since there is no water supply, your machine will not have anything it can convert into steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any of your drying programs that need steam will therefore be rendered useless. This will greatly limit the number of programs you can actually use. It often means that you are left with only very basic programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, you are not only missing out on the steam functions but also any functions that a regular dryer may provide that the steam dryer does not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can It Damage the Dryer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some steam dryers will not run the steam cycle and will alert you if there is no water supply present. Other steam dryers, however, may still run the steam cycle even without the water supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is no water supply, there won&rsquo;t be any steam, and your machine will just be going through the motions while running through each cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While running steam cycles without water is unlikely to cause damage to your machine in the short term, repeatedly doing this can put your dryer&rsquo;s parts under foreign and unnecessary strain that may cause damage in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drawbacks of Not Hooking up Steam Dryer to Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While we have established that running a steam dryer without connecting it to water is possible, there are still some potential drawbacks to not doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It Defeats the Purpose of a Steam Dryer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, not connecting your dryer to a water source effectively defeats the purpose of purchasing a steam dryer, since you lose access to the only thing that sets a steam dryer apart from other dryers&nbsp;&ndash; steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some steam dryers only come with a basic steam dry function added, others may come with other steam-based settings, like &ldquo;disinfect&rdquo; or &ldquo;allergen removal.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of how many settings a steam dryer has that utilize steam, all steam dry settings have the same benefits of odor removal, clothing refreshes, and more that become lost by not connecting the dryer to a water source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrinkly Clothes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/steam-dryer-pros-cons\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/steam-dryer-pros-cons\/\">biggest reasons for buying steam dryers<\/a> is that they don&rsquo;t wrinkle clothing as much as regular dryers do. While they don&rsquo;t completely eliminate wrinkles, the wrinkles that do form are less severe than those left behind by other dryers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes.jpg\" alt=\"wrinkly clothes\" class=\"wp-image-13678\" width=\"671\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes.jpg.webp\" alt=\"wrinkly clothes\" class=\"wp-image-13678 lazyload\" width=\"671\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wrinkly-clothes.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the softer wrinkles, you won&rsquo;t need to iron as often, and when you do, it won&rsquo;t take as long.
