17. 7. Problem: Static Generation
 Static is created by the collision of the water and the vapour
molecules in the steam. This friction creates a static electricity
charge

18. Solution
 The BR8 Inferno steam hose is electrically conductive when
measured between the fittings (< 102 Ω )
 The rubber compound has a resistance of less than 106 Ω
