Commercial Cooling Tower Water Treatment in Pasadena

Every Pasadena property is different, so we engineer cooling tower water treatment around your heat load, makeup water quality, metallurgy, and operating schedule. The result: stable cycles of concentration, clean heat‑exchange surfaces, and lower kW/ton—without sacrificing safety or compliance. Our mission is healthy buildings and healthy air, and that starts with clean tower water that minimizes aerosolized contaminants.

Our engineered process

We begin with a site survey and baseline water analysis (makeup, recirculating, and bleed). From there, we model scale indices, corrosion risk, and biofouling potential to select inhibitors, dispersants, biocides, and filtration strategies that fit your system and sustainability goals.

• Comprehensive water testing and LSI/RSI analysis
• Start‑up cleaning, passivation, and tower basin sanitation
• Scale and corrosion control tailored to your metallurgy
• Oxidizing and non‑oxidizing biocide programs with alternating cycles
• Legionella risk management aligned with ASHRAE 188 and local guidance
• Automation: conductivity/pH control, ORP monitoring, feed verification
• Side‑stream filtration, sand or cartridge systems, and solids management
• Blowdown optimization to save water while protecting equipment
• Chemical delivery, safe storage, and secondary containment
• Digital logs, trending, and monthly performance reporting
• Operator training and clear SOPs for consistent results

Commercial focus for Pasadena

Our team specializes in commercial and institutional cooling towers: medical centers, labs, life‑science campuses, hotels, resorts, mixed‑use developments, data centers, universities, retail, and municipal buildings. We meet the demands of mission‑critical uptime, tight budgets, and rigorous documentation.

Brand and supply options

Prefer specific brands or distribution channels? We can integrate compatible pumps, controllers, filters, and accessories to your spec— including options available through AC PRO—while maintaining the chemistry and control strategy engineered for your tower. This gives facility teams flexibility without compromising performance.

Why #1 AC Guys

• 4th‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years in engineering
• Factory training with Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China)
• Expertise in large, complex commercial systems and retrofits
• Data‑driven programs that reduce energy, water, and chemical use
• Clear pricing, documented results, and proactive communication
• Safety‑first practices and strong compliance support

Cooling tower problems don’t have to be chronic. If you’re seeing rising approach temperatures, frequent acid cleans, drifting conductivity, or recurring biological blooms, we’ll identify root causes and correct the chemistry, hydraulics, and controls. We can also tune blowdown logic to local water costs and drought restrictions to balance savings and reliability.

What’s included in our service plans

• Routine site visits with on‑the‑spot testing and adjustments
• Quarterly deep dives and KPI reviews with facility stakeholders
• Emergency response for excursions, equipment faults, or contamination events
• Start‑up/seasonal layup procedures to prevent off‑season corrosion
• Commissioning support for new or expanded towers

Because HVAC and water treatment are intertwined, our engineering background helps prevent cross‑discipline blind spots. Cleaner condenser water protects chiller tubes, lowers approach temperatures, and helps maintain design capacity. That means steadier comfort, healthier air, and improved lifecycle cost across your plant.

Service area

We proudly serve Pasadena and all of Los Angeles County, and we also cover nearby areas including Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. If your portfolio spans multiple locations, we can standardize your water treatment program and reporting across sites for consistency and compliance.

Safety and compliance

Our programs support your environmental, health, and safety goals with documented procedures, secondary containment, SDS management, and operator training. We align practices with ASHRAE 188 recommendations and local public health guidance to help reduce risk. While no program can eliminate all hazards, systematic monitoring and preventative maintenance significantly improve outcomes.
