Scott's Service Corner

Start the Cooling Season

Off Right

As the cooling season starts to ramp up, I wanted to remind all of our customers with cooling towers to make sure they are doing all they can to start the season off right. It is important to have a clean environment in their cooling towers for water treatment chemicals to do their job effectively.

If you are refilling your cooling tower soon or have recently filled it, it is very important to clean and remove as much debris from the tower sump and distribution pans to allow for even and efficient water flow. You also want to contact your Arc service technician to let him know that your tower is started, and he can bring extra chemicals to give the tower system a good dosing of inhibitors and biocides. Now is a good time to inspect the chemical feed systems at your building. Arc offers the highest-quality products and new innovations. To properly treat your cooling tower, you should have an automatic dual biocide program. Also available is the greener option of solid chemical feed systems. If you want information about automatic biocide feed or solid chemicals, please contact your Arc technician or sales representative.
