‐
Though
this
is
not
always
practical,
softening
hard
water
can
do
much
to
reduce
deposits.
There
are
certain
filters
that
can
be
installed
to
remove
corrosive
elements.
If
you
are
not
sure
of
the
proper
water
treatment,
call
a
treatment
specialist.

Corrosion
on
metals
is
everywhere.
We
recognize
it
quickly
on
iron
and
steel
as
unsightly
yellow/
orange
rust.
Such
metals
are
called
“active”
because
they
actively
corrode
in
the
natural
environment.
Contrary
to
popular
belief,
Stainless
Steels
are
susceptible
to
rusting.
The
first
signs
are
on
the
microscopic
level.
If
you
were
to
look
at
them
under
a
microscope
or
through
a
magnifying
glass,
you
would
see
small
pits
and
cracks
will
grow
and
deepen
while
all
the
time
exuding
unsightly,
red
‐
orange
rust.
More
severe
and
visible
cracking
can
also
take
place.
Stainless
steels
are
protected
by
a
thin
layer
of
chromium
oxide,
and
it
important
to
keep
that
film
of
chromium
oxide
intact.
If
the
passive
film
of
your
stainless
steel
has
been
broken,
you
are
subject
to
corrosion
and
rust.
The
integrity
of
the
chromium
oxide
can
be
compromised
by:
‐
Mechanical
abrasion
from
steel
pads,
brushes,
and
scrapers.
‐
Hard
Water
leaves
mineral
deposits
behind
that,
if
left
to
dry
will
break
down
the
passive
layer
and
rust
your
stainless
steel.
‐
Chlorides
are
in
water,
food,
and
table
salt,
but
most
prominently
in
cleaning
agents.
