Air Vent Valve Function in Industrial Piping Systems: Why It Is Critical for System Efficiency?
Posted by David Cannon on 11th Feb 2026
Air management plays a vital role in industrial piping and pressurized process systems. When air becomes trapped, dissolved, or carried along with the fluid, it can disrupt flow, reduce system efficiency, and place unnecessary stress on equipment. If not properly controlled, this air can lead to operational instability and mechanical issues.
That’s why managing air is not just an option but a core requirement in the design and operation of industrial piping systems.
Proper air control hel
How Hard Water Damages Industrial Equipment: Proven Treatment Methods
Posted by David Cannon on 22nd Dec 2025
Industrial facilities depend on water as a process medium, heat transfer fluid, cleaning agent, and utility resource. When that water contains excessive dissolved minerals, its hardness increases, and this becomes a silent threat to equipment reliability and operating costs. Hard water damages industrial equipment is not always visible at first, but the long-term consequences can be severe. In industrial settings, hard water refers to water with elevated concentrations of calcium (Ca²⁺), ma

How to Use a Calibration Column for Metering Pumps: Benefits, DIY Guide, and Top Brands
When it comes to chemical dosing accuracy, your metering pump is only as reliable as its calibration. A calibration column—sometimes called a calibration cylinder—is a simple, cost-effective tool that ensures your pump delivers the exact amount of chemical you intend.
At Cannon Water Technology, we supply premium calibration columns from trusted brands like Koflo, Pulsafeeder, and Neptune Pump Co
How to Clean and Treat a Closed Loop Hydronic System in Commercial Buildings
Posted by David Cannon on 5th Jun 2025
Why You Should Maintain Your Closed Loop Hydronic System
A closed loop hydronic system is the heart of many commercial HVAC systems, especially those designed for heating hot water circulation. While these systems are designed to be low-maintenance, they are not immune to internal corrosion, sludge buildup, and system inefficiency.
Over time, dissolved oxygen, leftover oils and flux, or existing corrosion by-products can circulate through the system, causing:
Decreased energy efficiency
