Why Alkalinity Decreaser Really Matters in Industrial Water Systems Having worked in the industrial equipment sector for over a decade, I can say that water chemistry is one of those things that doesn’t get as much spotlight as it deserves. But it quietly affects everything — corrosion rates, efficiency, equipment lifespan… the list goes on. One chemical product I’ve seen come up again and again is the alkalinity decreaser. It’s somewhat of an unsung hero when it comes to balancing water conditions, especially in closed-loop systems, cooling towers, and large-scale water treatment installati…
