[Steam-engine] Chlorine Water

[Jim & Lyn Evans]

We steam with city water without doing anything to it.  Once you put it in
the boiler you do want to steam up fairly soon.  It boils out the entrained
oxygen so the water is much less corrosive after that.

I was discussing the use of city water in boilers with another engineer the
other day.  He complained about our city water and the corrosion that the
chlorine caused.  I told him that allowing the water to sit on a tank for a
few days would allow the Chlorine to "evaporate" out of the water and to do
this if possible.  Did I give good advise?  What else should we do when
steaming with city water?
