Commercial Legionella Prevention for Cooling Towers in Glendale

Legionella control in cooling towers demands more than chemicals—it requires disciplined engineering, precise execution, and consistent documentation. In Glendale’s climate, with warm seasons, dust load, and varying occupancy, #1 AC Guys designs programs that stabilize water chemistry, minimize aerosol risk, and align with ASHRAE 188 guidance and the CDC toolkit. Our mission is healthy air and water for a healthy life, delivered with transparent reporting and measurable outcomes.

What’s included in our commercial Legionella prevention program

• ASHRAE 188–aligned Water Management Plans tailored to your site, assets, and staffing.
• Baseline risk assessment, P&ID‑style system mapping, and control point definition.
• Automated monitoring and control: conductivity, pH, ORP, flow, and alarms with data logging.
• Biocide strategy: oxidizing and non‑oxidizing biocides, biodispersants, and scale/corrosion inhibitors selected for your metallurgy and load.
• Side‑stream filtration and basin sweeping to reduce sediment and biofilm formation.
• Scheduled cleaning and disinfection: pre‑season, mid‑season, and post‑season; emergency remediation when action thresholds are exceeded.
• Legionella testing via accredited third‑party laboratories (culture and rapid qPCR), with action levels and response protocols.
• Aerosol control: inspection of drift eliminators, louvers, fill, and fan assemblies to help limit drift.
• Documentation: logs, SOPs, corrective actions, and audit‑ready reports to support inspections and stakeholder confidence.
• Staff coaching: on‑site training and quick‑reference playbooks so your team can maintain daily controls between our visits.

We integrate Legionella risk management with HVAC performance: better heat rejection, stable chemistry, and cleaner basins help protect equipment life and energy efficiency while supporting occupant health objectives.

Our proven process

• Site survey and interview: inventory towers, make‑up water, blowdown, metallurgy, and existing controls.
• Sampling and baseline: lab testing and walk‑through to establish current conditions and risks.
• Plan and design: create or refine your Water Management Plan with defined monitoring, limits, and responses.
• Implement controls: dosing, sensors, controllers, filtration, and cleaning schedule—commissioned and documented.
• Verify and optimize: trend analysis, reports, and adjustments to keep chemistry and microbial counts in range.
• Continuous support: routine service visits, emergency response, and annual plan reviews.

For parts and fast turnarounds, we source select HVAC materials and controls through AC PRO’s Southern California distribution network, helping minimize downtime and keep projects on schedule.

• Manufacturer training completed at Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China), reinforcing our systems‑engineering rigor. We apply that discipline to complex hydronic and air systems.
• Expertise with large and complex projects: hospitals, hospitality, education, labs, mixed‑use campuses, and data centers.
• Instrumentation‑first approach: we favor measurable controls and clear performance metrics over guesswork.
• Clear, audit‑ready documentation for operations, safety, insurers, and accreditation stakeholders.
• Responsive local team: fast mobilization in Glendale and across Los Angeles County, with coverage into Orange, Ventura, and Western Riverside counties.

Our team does not claim to eliminate all risk; instead, we reduce it methodically with layered controls and rapid corrective actions when indicators move out of bounds.

Compliance, documentation, and communication

We align programs to ASHRAE 188 principles and use the CDC Legionella toolkit as practical guidance. For healthcare clients, we structure documentation to support internal policies and external reviews (e.g., audits and inspections). You receive digital logs, trend charts, and service reports that make oversight straightforward for facility leaders and risk managers.
