The concentration of dissolved sa lts increases over time, which can lead to a rise in the co nductivity of th e water. If this co ntin- ues, conductivity may increase until a short circuit occurs. This could dama ge the unit, but in any case wo uld significan tly reduce the life span of the electrodes.
