Proper water treatment is essential for all water-containing systems, including commercial HVAC. Without proper water treatment, HVAC systems experience significant issues with corrosion, scale, and bacteria. Not only does water treatment enhance the longevity of equipment, but it increases the energy-efficiency of the system, and is a mindful improvement for businesses looking to create greener, more sustainable infrastructure.   Water Treatment for Energy-Efficiency When HVAC systems use properly treated water, they are less prone to corrosion and scale. The systems will last longer, a ..read more

We’re all in this together when it comes to protecting the environment and conserving natural resources as much as possible.  For many people, reducing their carbon footprint is a major motivation in their business as well as in their home life. That’s good because otherwise, we will continue to contribute to global warming and the increased instability of extreme weather events that have been occurring all too often lately. With that in mind, it’s useful to become familiar with the benefits of decarbonization and why we need to strive for greater energy efficiency in our buildings. Abou ..read more

Here in sunny California, industry has to do its part to conserve water. Making more efficient use of natural resources is essential for the health of the planet.  To help improve water efficiency, Institutions that require water cooling for their towers will want to use as little H2O as possible. That’s where Helios Tube Cleaning Systems can make a difference. How the Helios TCS Work In an industrial setting or large building, cooling towers move heat via water that recirculates. While this might have been part of industry best practices decades ago, the world is starting to wake up to t ..read more

In a traditional cooling system, you have 2 types of water pumps: condenser water pumps and chilled water pumps.  The condenser water pumps take hot water from the condenser to the cooling tower, and the chilled water pumps take cold water from the chiller to your AC unit.  When the pump fails, water is not circulated as efficiently or at all, compromising the performance of your entire system. Thankfully, pumps often signal that there is something wrong, and these signals usually come in the form of odd and loud pump noises. Loud and unusual sounds emanating from circulating pumps a ..read more
