Can water with scale inhibitors be consumed

In general, water containing scale inhibitors is not recommended for direct consumption. Scale inhibitors are chemicals used to prevent and remove scale deposits in water systems, and are used in water treatment processes. Although scale inhibitors have a certain effect on scale in water systems, they are not designed for human consumption.

Scale inhibitors may contain chemical components and may pose a health risk if consumed directly. In addition, the amount, concentration, and formula of scale inhibitors vary, and drinking such water may cause digestive discomfort or other adverse reactions.

If you need to drink safe and healthy water, please choose a drinking water source that meets hygiene standards, such as tap water, properly treated bottled water, or properly filtered tap water. If you have doubts about water quality, you can consult relevant water quality testing institutions or professionals to ensure that the water you drink meets hygiene and health requirements.
