Ask Arc for Help with Your Water Management Program to Reduce Legionella Growth and Proliferation Legionella is transmitted by aerosols from contaminated water. A large amount of outbreaks occur outdoors, and are the result of these releases of legionella-contaminated aerosols from poorly maintained cooling towers. Applying a successful water management program is necessary to keep Legionella out of water systems in buildings and reduce Legionella growth and proliferation. Click Here to view the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) page that offers information for routine maintenance of building and recreational water systems to prevent disease. Contact Arc Today to see how we may help you with your Water Management Program.

CLEAN YOUR TOWER AND PROTECT YOUR PIPES The end of the cooling season is approaching. If your cooling tower is drained in the Fall, we have excellent products available to clean your cooling tower and protect your piping.

1.       CS#35 is a passivation chemical used to prevent your pipes from forming mill scale during the off season. It is added and circulated the day before you drain your cooling tower for the season. 2.       The cooling tower cleaning kit is used to help clean your cooling tower. It contains cleaning detergents and dispersants. If added to your cooling tower and circulated the day before you do your seasonal power wash, it loosens up any deposits and makes the cleaning more efficient. Please contact your salesperson for more details.
