Boiler Water Treatment
Domestic (home) systems may use ordinary tap water, but sophisticated commercial systems often add various chemicals to the system water. For example, these added chemicals may:
- Inhibit corrosion
- Prevent freezing of the water in the system
- Increase the boiling point of the water in the system
- Inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria
- Allow improved leak detection (for example, dyes that fluoresce under ultraviolet light)

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or treatment:
“We were uncertain whether the water floated the land, or the land held the water in its bosom. It was such a season, in short, as that in which one of our Concord poets sailed on its stream, and sung its quiet glories.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It’s better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they’re 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn’t have to put them in prisons?”
—Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
