addition to altering its acidity, the presence of carbon dioxide in water also affects its electrical properties. When carbon dioxide dissolves in desalinated water, the electrical conductivity increases significantly from below 1 uS/cm to nearly 30 uS/cm. When heated, the water begins to gradually lose the conductivity induced by the presence of , especially noticeable as temperatures exceed 30 °C.

The temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of fully deionized
