3 Key Considerations for Selecting a Cooling Tower Water Treatment Program

Water Quality Requirements

Different cooling tower applications will have different specific water quality needs depending on several factors. It is important to understand the needs and requirements of each separate application, and to create a water treatment program that addresses the application’s unique requirements. A full system audit by a water treatment expert can help identify opportunities for optimization based on specific water needs.

Treatment Program Performance Goals

Water treatment programs should include a set of goals or parameters by which to assess the performance of the cooling tower water treatment program. Factors to consider might include the programs effectiveness in controlling scale, corrosion, and microbiological growth. The program should have proven strategies and technologies to prevent issues, while producing high-quality results in an optimized, efficient manner.

Long-term Cost Effectiveness

Another factor to consider when choosing a water treatment program is the overall cost-effectiveness in the long run. Water treatment is complex, and potentially costly, but a good water treatment program will consider long-term ROI. Working with a water treatment expert to optimize your water program is a great place to start.
