• Cooling tower water treatment is essential to the
  overall operation of the cooling tower. Failure
  to properly treat the cooling tower water on a
  regular basis or whenever needed will lead to a
  variety of issues including but not limited to
  corrosion, fouling, organic growth, and scaling.
  All of these issues can not only cause plant
  downtime, decreased performance, and reduced
  plant productivity, but they can likewise lead to
  costly repair and replacement.

When you are reusing water supply
But how do you know when it is time to treat the
cooling tower water? Here are a few warning signs
that will tell you a cooling water treatment
system is needed for your plant.

• If you are trying to reuse or recycle the water
  instead of flushing it out into the environment,
  you will need to properly and regularly treat the
  cooling tower blowdown. You may need to consult a
  water treatment specialist or contact the best
  cooling tower company in India for this.

Water gets too acidic or too alkaline

• Cooling tower water needs to be regulated and has
  to stay within the neutral pH level. When the
  cooling tower water gets acidic, it will increase
  the likelihood and speed of corrosion and scale
  formation.
• Having a too high or too low pH or alkaline level
  would mean that it is about time to treat the
  water. Please note, though, that the proper water
  alkalinity greatly depends on the source of the
  water and the type of cooling system that you
  use.

Microbial growth in the cooling tower water

• The water in the cooling tower is susceptible to
  the growth of microorganisms and can be a
  breeding ground for algae, fungi, and harmful
  bacteria like legionella. Microbial growth, if
  left unaddressed, can cause corrosion, fouling
  and other system issues. If you notice the growth
  of bacteria in the cooling tower water, you may
  need to test and treat the water even before the
  scheduled date.

Presence of high hardness and total dissolved
solids (TDS)

• According to the water cooling towers
  manufacturers in India, the presence or build-up
  of high hardness and total dissolved solids (TDS)
  on heat transfers or heat exchange surfaces, and
  other internal piping indicates that a cooling
  tower water treatment is needed.
• TDS, whether it is the form of calcium carbonate
  or not, can cause heavy scaling. Over time,
  scaling can clog up and damage the internal
  pipes, heat exchange surfaces, and even the
  entire cooling system. It likewise greatly reduce
  the efficiency of the cooling tower, minimize
  heat dispersal, and lead to failure or downtime.
  Scaling can likewise cause a hike in energy
  consumption.

• Treating the cooling tower water prevents the
  build-up of solids and hardness. And in the case
  when these solids and hardness are already in the
  system, water and makeup water chemistry
  treatment will remove them properly in blowdown.

Endnote

• Proper and regular maintenance and water
  treatment do not only help maintain the good
  working condition of the cooling tower, they
  likewise help it run properly, smoothly, and at
  its peak efficiency. Moreover, proper maintenance
  and water treatment also help you make sure that
  the cooling tower parts are free from any damage
  or threat, thus avoiding costly repair and
  replacement and ensuring a longer lifespan.
