[LG Water Purifier] White flakes formed after boiling or freezing purified water

Repair

White flakes formed after boiling or freezing purified water are beneficial minerals for our bodies.
When mineral substances in the water come into contact with carbon dioxide in the air, they form calcium carbonate (CaCO2).
The formation of white flakes (CaCO2) is natural and do not pose health risks.
Please rest assured that the water is safe for consumption.

Does using bottled water or a UF water purifier lead to the same results?

➔ Minerals are also present in water from a UF water purifier and bottled water.
So, the white flakes will appear just the same.

Does it mean that the white flakes do not appear when tap water is boiled?

➔ As tap water also contains minerals, boiling tap water will also result in the formation of white flakes (CaCO2).

When water containing carbon dioxide and minerals is heated, it precipitates calcium carbonate, presenting as white flakes.
