Dear Madam Why the steam prepared from potable water? Is it to avoid chemical residues?.

Thanks!

Hi,
Yes. It is good to use potable water to generate steam. Otherwise, the dissolved solids in the water accumulates on the bottom of the boiler during steam generation. It corrodes the boiler as well as reduces the heat transfer to the water.
