Why is pH important?Conditions of high or low pH can be very harmful and very expensive to closed water systems. The pH of a stream affect organisms living in the water, a change in pH can be an indicator of increasing pollution. Water pH is just as important in non-natural usages of water. It should be a part of every testing procedure for commercially used water as well. |
pH CONTROL is important in minimizing the rate of corrosion in a heat transfer/cooling system. The measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions present in a solution is critical. A pH= 7 reading means the solution is essentially neutral. To avoid corrosion problems, controlling the pH in an alkaline range of between 8 and 9 is important, however, when the pH is alkaline, there is a greater tendency towards scaling from dissolved solids. The ION Generation System also handles that problem in that it can effectively operate in higher pH while still inhibiting scale deposits.
CHECK OUT: What are the Solutions?
The Ion Generation System electronically monitors both the pH and conductivity levels within their control range providing continuous cleansing of the water resulting in a scale-free operation. Scale acts as a host substance upon and inside which algae and bacteria can grow and hide. Elimination of the scale removes the host substance and eliminates the possibility that biologicals in the water will cling to any surface on contact. The copper IONs generated by the System will kill the bacteria and algae and keep the residue in solution until it is trapped and removed by the filtration system.
