Generating steam in a boiler is not without its challenges. Without proper treatment and control, scale deposits may form on the boiler tubes that will greatly increase the cost of operating a system. As little as 1/32" of deposit can lead to excess fuel consumption of 5-12% depending on the composition of the deposit.
Other contaminants in the make-up water can cause significant corrosion in the system resulting in metal loss not only to the boiler, but also to all the piping related to the system. Such contaminants include oxygen and carbonic acid.
In order to mitigate the issues that can damage the boiler over time, professional water treaters use a combination of tactics and boiler water treatment chemicals.
