Does the Hydrosmart Water Conditioner cause any changes in the TDS (Total dissolved solids) readings of the boilers?
When the water supply line to an existing boiler was treated by the Hydrosmart system the TDS readings fell. This is because no large-scale deposits were allowed to form on the internals of the boiler. In electric generators if you don’t form scale in the boiler you will not create foaming in the water. This is ideal because foaming in the boiler causes wet steam, which can be drawn off to the sterilizers creating wet loads. In the past we have treated the boiler with chemicals to stop scale build up. However with the Hydrosmart system this treats the water without any chemicals being required. Q: Do chemicals cause any problems? A: Yes, several things happen. As you use chemicals to work on your TDS level the chemical gives off incondensable gases and these gases go through the pipework. As this gas is at a lower temperature than the steam and has no moisture content this can create further wetting of the steam, with the great possibility of the gas forming around an item in the steri
