Is there any Relationship between Good water for drinking use and for Boiler Feed?
Except that wewage pollution is harmful to both, there is not a great deal of similarity between the requirements for drinkable water and the requirements for boiler feed-water. The minerals in drinking water, while they might affect the taste, are absorbed by the body and many so-called ‘health waters’ are high in minerals. On the other hand, water impurities cannot be handled as well by boilers. Although a boiler is a mass of steel, it is generally more sensitive about what it consumes than is the human stomach. For this reason, much care is needed in selecting water treatment.
