When we talk about maintaining clean, efficient water systems, pipe flushing is one of the most overlooked steps. It’s simple in concept: running water through lines at controlled velocity to clear out debris, but its impact on water quality and system reliability is significant. May …
Read Full ArticlePressure testing equipment plays a vital role in confirming the strength and safety of water treatment and industrial systems. These tools help operators detect leaks, assess component integrity, and maintain consistent performance across pipelines and vessels. Accurate testing ensures each system operates within safe limits, …
Read Full ArticleWater treatment automation is transforming how facilities manage water and wastewater systems. Today, treatment plants are no longer just manually operated setups; they are evolving into intelligent environments where data, sensors, and automated controls work together to ensure consistent water quality. In this article, we’ll …
Read Full ArticleIf you’ve ever managed a building or industrial facility, you know how much your water systems quietly do in the background. They heat, cool, clean, and circulate water every single day. But inside those pipes and tanks, a microscopic threat can take hold long before …
Read Full ArticleEvery boiler operator knows corrosion is a silent threat. It doesn’t happen overnight, but once it starts, it eats away at metal surfaces, weakens boiler tubes, and shortens the life of the system. In many facilities, we have seen small patches of rust turn into …
Read Full ArticleLegionella bacteria represent one of the most serious threats to modern building water systems. Left unchecked, these microorganisms multiply in poorly maintained pipes, tanks, or cooling towers, leading to Legionnaires’ disease, a severe pneumonia, or Pontiac fever, a flu-like illness. Outbreaks are costly, not only …
Read Full ArticleIn modern water treatment applications, consistency and accuracy are everything. Whether in wastewater treatment plants, cooling systems, or disinfection systems, the effectiveness of a program depends on how well chemicals are introduced into the process. That’s the role of a chemical feed system: a coordinated …
Read Full ArticleSustainable water treatment has become a central concern for industries, municipalities, and facilities managers worldwide. Growing awareness of climate change, increasing demand on limited natural resources, and the urgency of protecting future generations make sustainability more than a trend – it is an operational necessity. …
Read Full ArticleIntroduction to ASHRAE 188 ASHRAE 188, also known as ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 188, is the industry’s benchmark for minimizing the risk of Legionella in building water systems. Developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), this standard provides clear requirements for owners …
