[modeleng] Re: Water treatments

Hi Patrick,

We use rain water at my local club, keeps the boilers clean but remember to 
filter it so as not to clog your injectors up. The preserved railway I work 
n had severe problems with boilers due to water treatment so be careful, 
they now use reverse ovmosis plants that are expensive but have aleady paid 
for themselves. It is worth having a word with some chemists on how to 
neutralize the lime.

Dave.

Hi Gents!

I was wondering, if anybody has any wisdom to offer on H2O treatment,in
steel boilers
Over here (Flanders), there are very high concentrations of lime scale
in the water,so much so, that even household goods (coffeemaker, washing
machine...) only last half of their normal lifespan.
So if any of you have formula's receipts, good/bad experiences with
commercial products, I would like to know of them.

Thanks
Patrick
