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)
