what would be appropriate alkalinity readings for a steam boilers water? i know the ph should be 8-9 or so,,but the alkalinity level is what will determine how well the water fights any change in the ph,,i think,,does anyone test for this setting also?

    Depending on what you are using in the treatment program, and the type of boiler material and it's use will most likly dictate optimum levels.

    We use an outside company for this, I know I could never tackle this on my own, it's to complex with to many variables.

    All I can say is we try to hold around 275 to 350ppm optimum for our operating environment.
