Dear Dwivedi,

316L SS offers better corrosion resistance. If you are sure that what you are using is 316 or 316L SS then check for the system parameters.You have mentioned about water purification. What type of chemicals you are using for that. Look for the corrosion of stainless steel in that medium. Also check for the materials which resist corrosion attack in that medium. Corrosion Handbook will be of help to you.
