Abstract
A steam iron station has a removable tank mounted in a case. Also included is a conduit adapted to be coupled to a steam iron. Also included is a removable filter having an intake. The filter is mounted in the case to communicate with the tank. Also included is a pump mounted in the case and coupled to the filter and the conduit for discharging to the conduit, liquid drawn through the filter from the tank. The steam iron includes an electrical heater mounted in a soleplate. The soleplate has an upper channel and a lower channel. The iron has a duct for delivering liquid to the upper channel. The upper and the lower channels each have a forward flowing and a backward flowing branch. The upper channel serially communicates with the lower channel.
