Commercial Cooling Tower Water Treatment in Calabasas

Why Calabasas Facilities Choose #1 AC Guys

Cooling towers are the heartbeat of many commercial HVAC plants—but untreated water drives scale, corrosion, and biofouling that raise energy consumption, shorten asset life, and increase risk. Our 4th‑generation family of engineers brings 80+ years of engineering discipline to build safe, measurable, and cost‑effective treatment programs for Calabasas properties.

• ASHRAE 188–aligned Legionella risk management
• Optimized scale/corrosion control for mixed metallurgy (galvanized, copper, stainless)
• Biocide strategies (oxidizing and non‑oxidizing) tuned to seasonal and load changes
• Side‑stream filtration and solids removal to reduce biofilm and under‑deposit corrosion
• Conductivity control and automated blowdown for water and energy savings
• Continuous monitoring, logs, and clear documentation for audits

Our Commercial Water Treatment Workflow

Every site begins with a detailed engineering assessment—reviewing tower make/model, heat load, cycles of concentration targets, city water quality, metallurgy, historical issues, and safety requirements. We then design a chemistry program that balances scale index, corrosion rates, microbiological counts, and water use.

• Baseline testing: on‑site and lab analysis for alkalinity, hardness, conductivity, chlorides, phosphates, metals, and ATP/microbial indicators
• Program design: inhibitor selection and passivation plan matched to your metallurgy and makeup water
• Biocide plan: alternating oxidizing/non‑oxidizing biocides with shock dosing and biodispersant support
• Automation: controllers, probes, and metering pumps for precise chemical feed and blowdown
• Filtration: side‑stream filtration and basin sweeps to keep total suspended solids in check
• Documentation: digital logbooks, SDS, trend charts, and service reports that stand up to audits

Cleaning, Passivation, and Corrective Services

Starting clean is essential. We perform tower basin cleaning, safe descaling, and system passivation to stabilize new or refurbished equipment. For legacy systems, we address under‑deposit corrosion and biofilm with targeted cleanings and carefully staged chemical programs to protect metal surfaces while restoring performance.

Reliability Through Local Availability

Downtime is costly. We maintain local availability of equipment and consumables through trusted channels, including AC PRO, to accelerate deliveries and service. That means faster installs of controllers, pumps, and filtration, plus consistent access to treatment supplies—all without compromising your approved specifications.

Health, Safety, and Compliance

Our programs support ASHRAE 188 frameworks and industry best practices for safe tower operation in Los Angeles County. We provide clear documentation, testing schedules, and response protocols that help your team demonstrate due diligence during inspections and audits.
