I have a Hot water system with a 304 Stainless exchanger in furnace flue (taking on heat) and a Parker boiler (to make up heat, not sure of exchanger material in this) and a titanium exchanger (give off heat) in a tank with Zinc ammonium chloride in it. All piping is mild steel.
I would like to know what if anything i should add to the system to keep it healthy.

I am not sure if i can or should add anything because of all the different metals in the system.


Thanks,Joe
 
See the reply where you posted this message in the Heat Transfer Forum.
 
Your bath will have to be sampled over time and see the
valence imbalances that occur in your mix, about 6:11:1 .
This is not possible to isolate the effect of ionization
upon any-one-pipe. Stainless is so trouble-free when you
cannot afford worry.
