Closed System Water Treatment Problems: Corrosion
Posted by David Cannon on 4th May 2017
Some of the leading conditions that can cause problems in closed systems are: Leaks. Water loss, either through leaks or intentional releases, will drain away any chemical corrosion protection and introduce fresh, oxygen rich, water. When fresh water enters a closed system the dissolved oxygen will react with metals such as iron and copper. When oxygen reacts with iron it forms iron oxide (rust) that can expand the thickness of the iron by up to 20 times.Exposure to atmosp
