The Langelier Saturation Index shows whether cooling water will scale or corrode. Get the formula, a worked example, and what to do when LSI drifts.
Legionella doesn't disappear when your cooling tower shuts down. It grows. Here's the 5-step fall shutdown protocol to run before you close for winter.
Summer evaporation pushes cooling tower conductivity out of range — silently. Here's what that costs and how to catch it early.
Description Summer heat changes cooling tower chemistry fast. Conductivity climbs, inhibitor residuals drift, and biocide gaps open. Here's what to check now.
Description Cooling tower scaling that won't stop even with more chemical? The cause is usually cycles of concentration, not the chemistry. Here's how to find it.
Your cooling tower makeup water use jumped this summer. A misconfigured blowdown controller is usually the cause, and the fix is simpler than you think.
