Commercial Legionella Prevention for Cooling Towers in Anaheim

Comprehensive Legionella Risk Management for Cooling Towers

Our Anaheim commercial program aligns with ASHRAE Standard 188 and leading industry guidance to reduce the risk of Legionella amplification and aerosolization from cooling towers. We tailor every step to your site’s load profiles, water chemistry, and operational constraints, then deliver a documented, repeatable process your team can rely on.

What’s Included

• Risk assessment and system survey: basins, fill, sump, make‑up water, drift eliminators, fans, and piping
• Water Management Plan (WMP) development with control limits, monitoring, and corrective actions
• Chemical program: oxidizing and non‑oxidizing biocides, biodispersants, scale and corrosion inhibitors
• Automation: conductivity and ORP control, remote alarms, data logging, and trending
• Side‑stream filtration and separators to reduce suspended solids and biofilm potential
• Routine monitoring and documentation for audits and inspections
• Cleaning and disinfection: seasonal startup/layup, deep cleans, and emergency response
• Accredited lab testing coordination and clear reporting

Every plan is engineered for practicality: achievable testing frequencies, defensible corrective actions, and tight integration with your existing BMS and facility workflows.

Cleaning, Disinfection, and Corrective Actions

Physical cleaning and validated disinfection are essential to controlling biofilm and reducing risk. We schedule mechanical cleaning of basins, strainers, and fill, inspect and service drift eliminators, and apply disinfection protocols appropriate to your materials and operations. When results exceed control limits, we implement targeted corrective actions—such as hyperhalogenation, biodispersant shock, or equipment remediation—and document the intervention, verification, and return to normal operation.

Monitoring and Documentation

We establish control limits for conductivity, biocide residuals, pH, temperature, and makeup/bleed rates. Our logs capture setpoints, readings, dosing events, and deviations, creating a defensible record for audits. Where required, we coordinate with accredited laboratories for Legionella testing and provide clear, actionable reports. You receive organized documentation: WMP, site maps, SOPs, safety data sheets, testing schedules, and incident response steps.

Automation, Efficiency, and Cost Control

Smart control reduces variability and improves compliance. We calibrate sensors, optimize blowdown using conductivity, and tune ORP for biocide efficiency. This stabilizes water chemistry, curbs chemical waste, and improves heat transfer. When beneficial, we recommend side‑stream sand filtration or centrifugal separators to lower suspended solids, reduce biofilm potential, and extend the life of chemical programs and tower components.
Results you can expect in Anaheim facilities:

• More stable chemistry and fewer excursions beyond control limits
• Improved heat‑exchange efficiency and energy performance
• Lower scale/corrosion risk and reduced maintenance
• Clear records that support internal reviews and inspections

Industries We Serve

We support hospitals and clinics, hotels and resorts, universities and schools, class‑A offices, manufacturing plants, logistics hubs, life sciences, data centers, entertainment venues, and mixed‑use developments throughout Anaheim, Orange County, Los Angeles County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County.

Engineered by a Fourth‑Generation Family Team

#1 AC Guys is a family business led by engineers for over four generations, with 80+ years of engineering expertise. Our specialists have trained at the manufacturers’ facilities of Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China). We’re built for large, complex commercial projects and deliver the same attention to detail whether you manage one cooling tower or an enterprise portfolio.

Compliance Mindset and Safety

We help you align with ASHRAE 188 and relevant best practices through practical controls, documented procedures, and verification. Our team follows strict safety protocols for chemical handling, confined spaces, and lockout/tagout. We maintain transparent communication with your EHS and facilities leadership, ensuring corrective actions are authorized and recorded.

Seasonal Startup and Layup

Proactive strategies reduce risk at seasonal transitions. For startup, we inspect mechanicals, flush, clean, and disinfect before the tower returns to service. For layup, we stabilize water chemistry, perform a controlled shutdown, and implement protective measures to minimize biofilm and corrosion during idle periods.

Emergency Response

If results or conditions indicate elevated risk, we activate a clear, stepwise response: isolate as appropriate, apply corrective disinfection, clean affected components, verify results, and update the WMP to prevent recurrence. We coordinate with accredited labs, document every action, and keep stakeholders informed.
