To continue to treat a closed heating or cooling system that leaks with a closed system treatment chemical can be very expensive. To not treat a leaking system can be even more expensive. A closed system that has a leak and no treatment is 100% guaranteed to corrode and develop fouled and plugged coils and heat exchangers. It is just a matter of time, before catastrophic failures will develop.Traditional Water Treatment:Nitrite based corrosion inhibitors are used in 90% of treated closed

Some of the leading conditions that can cause problems in closed systems are: Leaks. Water loss, either through leaks or intentional releases, will drain away any chemical corrosion protection and introduce fresh, oxygen rich, water. When fresh water enters a closed system the dissolved oxygen will react with metals such as iron and copper. When oxygen reacts with iron it forms iron oxide (rust) that can expand the thickness of the iron by up to 20 times.Exposure to atmosp

I often get asked questions about adding chlorine to well water. I have found that there are three reasons or problems that require the addition of chlorine bleach to well water. 1. Iron Control 2. Hydrogen Sulfide Control (Rotten egg smell in water) 2. Bacteria Control Iron Control: Iron is found in ground water more often than not. In cases where there is an extremely high presence of  solubilized iron many issues will start to develop. The most common complaint is stained fixtures and ir

A Northern California warehouse was having problems preventing equipment failures and scale in nine industrial evaporative coolers and swamp coolers.They had limited maintenance staff and wanted a simple and safe way to control scale, corrosion and biological fouling. The evaporative coolers were located on the roof of several buildings making delivery of liquid chemicals difficult and hazardous. They did not want to install elaborate and expensive feed equipment.Th
