Why Wait Until Algae Is Visible? Early Chlorophyll-A Detection in Cooling Tower Water Treatment
Algae is one of the few cooling tower problems a water treatment provider doesn’t strictly need a sensor to find — green slime on the basin walls or a film across the fill media is visible to anyone who looks. That’s exactly the problem. By the time it’s visible to you on a service visit, […]
Testing Tolyltriazole in Chiller Water Treatment: Color Disc Kits vs. Reagent-Free Handhelds

Let the residual drop without noticing, and copper corrosion starts quietly — no bleed event, no visible fouling, just slow metal loss on evaporator […]
