Abstract
The build-up of the deposits on surfaces immersed in water in monitored by passing the water through a galvanic cell comprising a pair of dissimilar metal electrodes (5, 6) mounted on opposite sides of a passage (4) for the water in a housing (1,7), and detecting and interpreting galvanic current developed between the electrodes (5, 6).
