To remove the minerals from raw water, the raw water has to undergo several process during which energy has to be input to it. As a general rule, any substance with higher than normal energy level tries to come to a stabilized state by releasing the excess energy (compare with the electrons imparted with higher energy level, which try to return to lowest possible state for stabilization, or something having high potential energy due to elevation which tries to return to the minimum possible elevation to attain a stable state or to make it simple, remember: HE THAT IS DOWN, NEEDS FEAR NO FALL!). That is the reason which makes demineralized water highly unstable and reactive. It tries to react with metals to lose energy and stabilize.

∙ 14y agoThat depends on conditions. Demineralised water can be a scavenger - it picks-up trace impurities very readily. This is related to dissolved oxygen rather than the water itself. It is a particular problem in boilers using demineralised feed water - without deaeration or treatment chemicals to remove dissolved oxygen, boiler corrosion is far more severe than when using standard tap/mains/mineralised water.

Why hydraulic oil is used not water in hydraulic system?
because water evaporates hydraulic oil is non corrosive and an excellent lubricant.
Why don't we use water in hydraulic systems instead of hydraulic oil?
Water can cause steel components to rust. Oil is much less corrosive.
Why conductivity of dm water should be less than 1?
DM meaning demineralized water. Pure water is actually a poor conductor. Impurities in the water create ions which allow conduction to take place.One use of non-conducting water would be in a closed loop cooling system for transmission tubes (like for RADAR), where the tubes are energized to several thousand volts, and you do not want current to flow through the water and short out the system.
What does the acronym HDPE stand for?
HDPE stands for High-density polyethylene, which is made from petroleum. It is a plastic used in many water bottles, plastic bags, and corrosive-safe piping.
Can an electric hot water heater be used with galvanized pipes?
Yes it can be used but is not corrosive resistance
Is sterile water demineralized?
Is sterile water demineralized. This may be the case, but the other way 'round is not true: demineralized water is NOT sterile water
How do you make demineralized water at home?
Demineralized water can be made at home through the process of reverse osmosis with specialized systems. Demineralized water is water that has most of the impurities removed from normal tap water.
Can carbonated water be used insted of demineralized water for ironing?
Yeah it way better than demineralized water for ironing
How is water demineralized?
boil
Can demineralized water generate foam from soap?
Yes, it is possible.
Can you put just water in the radiator of a Mazda rx8?
NO, DO NOT DRIVE YOUR RX-8 AROUND WITH JUST WATER!!!, demineralized water will work for a flush but your RX-8 requires a special antifreeze mixed 50/50 with demineralized water..READ YOUR MANUAL!!
Is wet cement Corrosive?
yes, cement when mixed with water is corrosive.
Can deionized and demineralized water be used to top up batteries?
Use only distilled water.
Can demineralized water be used for automotive batteries?
yes! Distilled water is what you should use. Never use tap water.
Is sea water solvent?
It is a corrosive.
Is sea water a solvent?
It is a corrosive.
Does demineralized water freeze?
Yes, it is just that water with any impurities freezes or boils faster depending on the concentration and composition.
