The water sample had a pH of 5.77 and conductivity of 6 umhos/cm, outside the expected ranges of 6.5-8.5 and 38-500 umhos/cm. It contained very low dissolved solids, alkalinity, and other minerals. The lab results and implications are that the water exhibited characteristics of reverse osmosis or deionized water rather than softened water, and should not be used as feedwater for a carbon steel steam generator due to its corrosive nature.

* <LOQ = Less than limit of quantification * N.A. = Not Applicable
* N.D. = Not Determined = Data out of expected range
RESULTS AND IMPLICATIONS:
⦁ This water exhibited to have the characteristics of RO or DI water rather than softened water. This water should not be used as feedwater for your carbon steel steam generator.
