A cooling tower rejects heat from a building's air conditioning by evaporating water, and its plumbing handles makeup water, blowdown, and treatment. Neglect it and both efficiency and safety suffer.
The makeup
Evaporation constantly removes water, so a makeup line tops up the basin through a float valve. The line needs backflow protection to protect the supply.
The blowdown
As water evaporates, minerals concentrate, so a blowdown line bleeds off a portion to keep the chemistry in range.
The treatment
Chemical or non-chemical treatment controls scale, corrosion, and biological growth, including Legionella.
The maintenance
Basin cleaning, drift eliminator checks, and water testing keep the tower efficient and safe. In Fulshear, large buildings run these systems hard in summer.
The water test
Regular water testing drives the treatment and the blowdown schedule. Skipping it lets scale and biology take hold quietly.
