Water-fed equipment requiring high temperatures create a friendly environment for scale, which inhibits heat energy transfer. Just 1/8-inch of scale buildup can increase energy bills by 20% or more.

Chlorine spoils the taste of coffee, tea and all other water-based drinks. When heated, it forms a gas that can corrode boiler tanks and steam generators.

Corrosion can be caused by low pH, chlorine, chlorides, iron deposits and dissolved gases. Corrosion shortens your equipment’s life as it eats away at tanks, probes and heating elements.
