Sodium nitrite blends are a standard offering among water treatment companies. However, treatment chemicals are available that are more effective than nitrite and have none of the drawbacks.
Nitrite treatment is a poor choice for closed systems because it:
- Is an environmental toxin.
- Is aggressive to copper and brass.
- Hardens rubber seals and gaskets.
- Is food for microbes that cause fouling.
- Raises conductivity, promoting corrosion.
- Forms abrasive crystals at evaporation sites.
