Education: Tower Water Quality Improvements

This presentation introduces the fundamentals of cooling tower water treatment and why it plays a critical role in maintaining efficient, reliable HVAC system performance. The session begins with a review of common water-related challenges in evaporative systems—including scale formation, corrosion, and biological growth—and how proper water treatment strategies mitigate these risks and improve system longevity and energy efficiency.

 The discussion then introduces the Marley WaterGard system as an integrated approach to cooling tower water management. Attendees learn how WaterGard combines mechanical filtration, side-stream solids removal, and optimized chemical treatment support to improve water quality and reduce maintenance demands. The presentation highlights how removing dissolved solids can enhance water usage, lower chemical consumption, and help facilities maintain cleaner systems.
