In an electrode boiler, poor water quality is likely to result in:

In an electrode boiler, poor water quality can lead to low heat generation and poor conductivity. The function of an electrode boiler relies on the conductivity of the water to generate heat through the passage of electrical current. When water quality is poor—characterized by high levels of impurities, scaling, or contamination—its ability to conduct electricity diminishes. This reduction in conductivity results in a decrease in the efficiency of heat generation, as the electrical current cannot flow freely through the water, thereby generating less thermal energy.

Moreover, the presence of contaminants may lead to other operational issues, such as deposits forming on the electrodes, which further inhibit heat transfer and can cause the boiler to operate inefficiently. As a result, maintaining good water quality is essential for the optimal performance of an electrode boiler, ensuring effective heat generation and avoiding operational failures.
