Protect Your System with Proper Water Treatment

Improper water chemistry is one of the leading causes of corrosion, scale buildup, and heat transfer inefficiency in steam boiler systems. For commercial buildings, maintaining clean, balanced boiler water is not only essential for performance — it is critical for the safety and longevity of the equipment.


Michael Toman Boiler license # MINNESOTA CHIEF A ENGINEER CA033678offers expert  boiler chemistry services tailored to the unique needs of commercial steam systems in Minneapolis. With over two decades of experience and a Boiler license # MINNESOTA CHIEF A ENGINEER CA033678, he provides accurate testing, precise adjustments, and ongoing monitoring to ensure your boiler operates in peak condition.

What Is Boiler Chemistry and Why Does It Matter

Boiler chemistry refers to the treatment and regulation of water inside your steam boiler. Water that is untreated or improperly balanced can lead to:


  • Corrosion of pipes and internal components

  • Mineral scale buildup that reduces heat transfer

  • Reduced energy efficiency and higher fuel costs

  • Premature equipment failure

  • Safety concerns due to pressure imbalances or blockages

By addressing these risks early, Michael helps commercial clients avoid costly repairs and maintain full operational efficiency year-round.

The Risks of Neglecting Boiler Water Chemistry

Many boiler breakdowns are caused by water-related issues that develop gradually. Without proper chemistry management, your system may be:



  • Operating under increased pressure stress

  • Using more fuel to achieve the same heat output

  • Slowly damaging internal components due to corrosion

  • Non-compliant with industry safety standards

Regular boiler chemistry services from a licensed operator reduce these risks and extend the useful life of your equipment.
