Treating your water is vital for ensuring chiller efficiency, reliability and longevity. Running your chiller with untreated water can lead to scaling, corrosion, biological fouling and sludge which ultimately result in wasted energy and expensive maintenance repairs. In this article, we discuss how to correctly treat water for use in your chiller system. We cover chemical treatment, side stream filtration, automatic dosing, deaeration, water softening and UV sterilization. We’ll also discuss how continuously monitoring your water quality can help you avoid downtime and keep your chillers operating at optimum efficiency. With proper water treatment, you can dramatically improve your facility’s cooling performance while decreasing operating costs and extending the service life of your equipment. Chillers are used in industrial and commercial HVAC applications. Learn how to correctly treat your water for use in your chiller system.

Scaling, corrosion, fouling, dirty heat exchangers and inefficient cooling towers are all common issues that can decrease industrial HVAC efficiency. Treating your facility's water properly, using filtration systems, regularly cleaning heat exchangers, maintaining cooling towers and implementing preventive maintenance can greatly increase heat transfer efficiencies, boost system reliability and indoor air quality, and cut down on costly down time and maintenance costs.

Increasing your industrial HVAC system's efficiency is one way to conserve energy, save on operating costs and prolong the life of your equipment. There are many reasons your system may not be running as efficiently as it should be.

Industrial circulating water filtration is designed to help industries maintain clean and consistent water quality in circulating cooling water and process systems. The filtration system removes suspended solids, rust and other impurities found in the water as it recirculates through the system. By eliminating fouling, scaling and corrosion, circulating water filtration can increase heat transfer capabilities, prevent equipment fouling on pumps and heat exchangers, and decrease maintenance and operating costs. Self-cleaning filters, sand filters, and side-stream filtration systems are just a few examples of popular circulating water filtration technology. These systems are used in a variety of applications including HVAC, cooling towers, power plants and manufacturing facilities. Implementing proper filtration into a circulating water system can improve process reliability and increase equipment longevity.

Water treatment is essential for HVAC systems to ensure efficient, reliable, and safe operation. Untreated water can cause scale buildup, corrosion, and biological growth, all of which reduce heat transfer efficiency, increase energy consumption, and damage equipment. By controlling water quality through proper treatment, systems can maintain optimal performance, lower operating costs, and extend equipment lifespan. Additionally, water treatment helps meet regulatory requirements and prevents health risks associated with microbial contamination. Overall, it is a critical component in maximizing HVAC system efficiency and long-term stability.
 

Circulating water system treatment is a process for keeping water circulating through a HVAC system or industrial cooling system in a pure and usable condition. Water treatment inhibits scaling, corrosion, biological growth, and fouling which can diminish efficiency, capacity and damage pumps, cooling towers and associated equipment.
Treatment methods include chemical injection, filtration, water softening, blowdown optimization, and system monitoring. Water treatment improves heat transfer efficiencies, cuts energy consumption and operating costs and increases the life expectancy of equipment.
Well treated circulating water systems will operate reliably and have long equipment lives.

This guide explains how to effectively remove and prevent corrosion in pipelines used across industrial, municipal, and commercial systems. It outlines the main types of corrosion—electrochemical, chemical, microbial, and scale-induced—along with their causes and impact on pipeline performance. The article details both mechanical removal methods, such as sandblasting, high-pressure water jetting, and rubber ball cleaning, and chemical approaches including acid pickling, passivation, and chelation. It also emphasizes the importance of post-cleaning strategies like electronic descaling, precise chemical dosing, and regular inspection to ensure long-term pipeline integrity, improved efficiency, and reduced maintenance costs.
