I've been looking at the specifications for a domestic water heater and in= =20 the sales bumph they specify the minimum water resistivity required (2K795= =20 x inches or 1K1 x cm's). I've never seen such a specification before for=20 this kind of water heater nor the unit resistivity per area/length. I can find no documents on the interrent apart from those referring to=20 measurement devices for analytical purposes.
