Commercial Cooling Tower Water Treatment in Burbank

When temperatures climb in Burbank, cooling towers become the heart of your building’s comfort and process cooling. The right water treatment program preserves heat‑transfer efficiency, stabilizes operations, and supports safer building water management. At #1 AC Guys, our mission is healthy air in buildings for healthy lives—and that starts with clean, well‑managed HVAC water.

What our commercial cooling tower water treatment includes

• Scale control: balanced chemistry to prevent mineral deposits and keep approach temperatures tight
• Corrosion inhibition: protection for carbon steel, copper alloys, stainless, and mixed metallurgy
• Biofouling control: oxidizing and non‑oxidizing biocide strategies to help manage microbial growth
• Side‑stream filtration: sand/multimedia or cartridge systems to reduce suspended solids and slime
• Automation and controls: conductivity controllers, feed/bleed optimization, remote monitoring
• Testing and verification: routine field testing plus lab analysis with clear, actionable reports
• Program documentation: logs, SDS, and support for ASHRAE 188‑aligned water management plans

Every building and water source is different. We fine‑tune dosage, cycles of concentration, and blowdown to Burbank’s water profile and your tower’s tonnage, heat load, and seasonal runtime. The result: fewer deposits, less under‑deposit corrosion, better condenser performance, and longer equipment life.

Engineered for complex commercial sites

Large plants, multiple cells, or variable load? That’s our specialty. Our 4th‑generation family of engineers brings 80+ years of engineering experience to sequence controls, match feed rates to changing load, and integrate with your BAS. We’re factory‑trained by Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Midea, Gree, and Haier, so we understand how tower water treatment interacts with chillers, heat exchangers, and VRF/central plants—preventing downstream issues and nuisance alarms.

Compliance, documentation, and risk reduction

We help your team align with recognized industry guidance like ASHRAE 188 for building water management by providing consistent testing, biocide rotation plans, and recordkeeping. While no program can eliminate all risk, proper treatment and documentation help you demonstrate due diligence and support a healthier built environment.

Water savings and sustainability

Southern California’s drought‑prone climate demands smart water use. By optimizing cycles of concentration, fine‑tuning conductivity setpoints, and filtering suspended solids, we reduce blowdown without sacrificing system health—saving water, sewer fees, and energy via improved heat transfer.

Our proven process

• Site survey: tower inspection, metallurgy review, makeup and bleed assessment
• Baseline testing: pH, conductivity, hardness, alkalinity, chlorides, sulfates, orthophosphate, microbiological indicators
• Program design: inhibitor/biocide selection, feed equipment, side‑stream filtration, control setpoints
• Implementation: safe chemical handling, controller calibration, performance benchmarks
• Monitoring: scheduled service visits, trend reviews, lab verifications, corrective actions
• Reporting: simple scorecards that your ops team and leadership can act on
