1.
pH - Value
Corrosion is also
due to acidic water. (low pH value, evaporated water normally holds
a pH at aprox.5,5) The ELYSATOR system automatically regulates the
pH value to approx. 9.5 (This is caused by splitting of magnesium
hydroxide from the anodes).
2.
Electrical Conductivity
100% pure water
is non-conducting. It is important that electrical conductivity is
kept as low as possible in order to avoid galvanic corrosion as well
as to reduce the stress on pumps, gaskets, heat exchangers etc. The
efficiency of the ELYSATOR is proportional to the conductivity,
which means that the ELYSATOR is regulating itself in accordance to
the condition in the water.
3.
Deposits
Major parts of
the deposits are oxides of Fe (iron) and Cu (copper). They are both
a result of corrosion due to an oxygen surplus, low pH or a galvanic
current. The amount of dissolved copper is a measure for the ongoing
corrosion process in your system. Through the ELYSATOR the water
will be neutralised and metallic surfaces stabilised. Corrosion is
therefore eliminated and the water stays clear, clean and without
sediments. The deposit sludge is simply removed by daily draining of
the Elysator.
