When buying demineralised / distilled water, make always sure that the quality and characteristics declared by the manufacturer are compatible
with those specified in the table.
The use of water for steam generation with presence of contaminants
with levels exceeding those indicated in the above table can greatly shorten steriliser lifetime.
This could also result in an increase of oxidation in the most sensitive materials as well as in an increase of limescale residues on
generator, boiler, internal supports, trays and instruments.
