Water Treatment Reference
Target ranges for common industrial water systems
🏗️
Cooling Tower
Open recirculating system
pH
7.0–9.0
Target: 7.5–8.5
Conductivity
800–2000
µS/cm
Cycles
3–6 CoC
Typically 4–5
Inhibitor
150–300 ppm
Product-specific
Biocide program required. Oxidizing (chlorine/bromine) alternated with non-oxidizing per site program. Legionella risk — maintain log of all treatments. ASHRAE 188 compliance mandatory for healthcare/hospitality.
🔥
Steam Boiler
High-temp / high-pressure
pH
10.5–11.5
Boiler water
Conductivity
<3500 µS
Varies by pressure
Sulfite (O₂ scav)
20–40 ppm
Low-pressure
Hardness
0 ppm
Softened feedwater
Oxygen scavenger critical to prevent pitting corrosion. Monitor alkalinity (P and M). Scale deposits of even 1/8" increase fuel consumption ~25%.
🔄
Closed Loop / Chilled Water
HVAC hot/chilled loops
pH
8.5–10.0
Steel system
Inhibitor
800–1200 ppm
Molybdate/nitrite
Conductivity
<2000 µS
No blowdown
Bacteria
<1000 CFU/mL
Quarterly dip
Closed loops rarely need blowdown but must maintain inhibitor. Watch for MIC (microbiologically influenced corrosion) in stagnant sections. Iron levels indicate corrosion activity.
Key Standards & Regulations
ASHRAE 188
Legionellosis Risk Management
Water management plan required for all buildings with cooling towers, hot water systems, or decorative fountains.
OSHA / EPA
Chemical Handling & Discharge
SDS required for all treatment chemicals. Blowdown discharge must meet local sewer authority limits for pH, metals, TDS.
AWT / NACE
Industry Best Practices
Association of Water Technologies and NACE International standards guide corrosion inhibitor dosing, monitoring frequency, and log requirements.
