Using one of your WaterCycle examples, the Bullseye Workspace (no phosphate in water chemistry), we selected an inhibitor containing orthophosphate to apply to its inputted water chemistry. The result: Recirculating water chemistry showed decreasing phosphate values. First of all, where did the phosphate come from when there is no phosphate in the water to begin with; is it from the inhibitor itself? Second, generally, don't we expect a parameter to increase as a cooling water cycles up? What could be the reason for this occurence? Will it be because the phosphate is precipitating out with the calcium as tricalcium phosphate (as shown in the increasing tricalcium phosphate values in the recirculating deposition potential indicators)? And if this is the case, wouldn't the calcium hardness values also drop, and not increase as shown in the recirculating water chemistry? Or, is there something that we might be doing wrong? We need your advice. Thank you.
