This article considers chemical control of corrosion as an alternative to a variety of consequences. It is most effective as a supplement to other protective measures. Because of the variety of water qualities and of environments, it is subject to many interesting complications. The application of chemical control may be limited by cost; its effectiveness may be limited by the nature of the distribution system. In the public water utilities, the range of measures for chemical control is limited by the undesirable effects that certain inhibitors have on quality.
