Why is the water in my steam boiler Dirty?

Why does my Iron spurt spit out steam?
Another reason that most irons spit is that the soleplate alone cannot consistently maintain temperatures high enough to convert water to steam. Water that has not been turned to steam will leak out of the vents as water. This is often the problem when the iron spurts while on low temperatures, but not high ones.
What causes a boiler to go out of service?
It can occur during operation as a result of in-leakage of air at pumps, or failure in operation of preboiler water treatment equipment. This also may occur during extended out-of-service periods, such as outages and storage, if proper procedures are not followed in layup.
