Commercial Cooling Tower Water Treatment in Glendale, CA

Why Glendale Chooses #1 AC Guys

We are a fourth‑generation family business with 80+ years of engineering experience, built to solve complex commercial challenges. Our cooling tower water treatment programs in Glendale combine scientific water chemistry with practical operations to protect people, assets, and uptime. Expect engineered protocols, clear KPIs, and transparent reporting—every month.

• Scale and corrosion control tailored to your makeup water and metallurgy
• Legionella risk reduction aligned with ASHRAE 188 and industry best practices
• Automated blowdown via conductivity control for stable cycles of concentration
• ORP‑based biocide dosing with verified contact times and rotations
• Side‑stream filtration and basin sweeping to cut suspended solids and biofilm
• Remote monitoring, alarms, and trend analysis for proactive maintenance

What Our Commercial Program Includes

Every Glendale site begins with a detailed survey: tower design and tonnage, heat load profile, makeup water analysis, historical issues, metallurgy, and discharge constraints. From there, we engineer a treatment plan that stabilizes chemistry and enhances heat transfer.

• Chemistry: phosphonate or phosphate blends, molybdate where appropriate, pH control, dispersants, and antifoam as needed
• Biological control: oxidizing and non‑oxidizing biocides, biodispersants, and documented rotations to prevent resistance
• Startup and passivation: protocols to protect new or cleaned systems and establish protective films
• Filtration and hygiene: side‑stream sand or multimedia filters, strainers, and scheduled mechanical cleaning
• Automation: conductivity controllers, ORP sensors, feed pumps, and blowdown valves integrated for stable operation
• Monitoring: on‑site tests (pH, conductivity, hardness, alkalinity, phosphate, iron, microbiological dipslides) and lab analysis as required

Health, Compliance, and Best Practices

We build Water Management Plans aligned with ASHRAE 188 and Guideline 12 principles, assign responsible parties, define control limits, and document verification/validation. Our logs and monthly reports support internal audits and local health guidance. While we do not provide legal advice, we help your team follow recognized best practices for cooling tower hygiene in Los Angeles County and surrounding jurisdictions.

Legionella risk is managed through a combination of temperature management, biocide control, biofilm reduction, and mechanical cleanliness, supported by regular testing. Where needed, we incorporate secondary disinfection strategies and enhanced inspection schedules.

Performance and Sustainability

Energy and water are connected. By controlling scale to under 2 mils, you protect chiller efficiency and reduce kWh. Optimized cycles of concentration cut blowdown and water costs, while side‑stream filtration lowers chemical demand. We track KPIs such as cycles, ΔT, approach temperatures, makeup and blowdown volumes, and microbiological counts, using trends to fine‑tune the program.
