Cooling Tower Cleaning Services

R2J provides professional cooling tower cleaning services to help Florida facilities reduce risk, restore performance, and maintain compliance. With decades of experience, our team safely removes scale, biofilm, and debris that compromise heat transfer and increase Legionella risk.

Why Cooling Tower Cleaning Matters

Cooling towers operate in harsh, outdoor environments — exposed to contaminants, dirt, and mineral-heavy makeup water. Without regular cleaning, sediment and biological growth collect in basins, fill, and drift eliminators, leading to:

Higher energy consumption and operating costs
Poor heat exchange and system inefficiency
Accelerated corrosion and shortened equipment lifespan
Microbial growth, including Legionella
Non-compliance with ASHRAE 188 and other standards

When to Schedule a Cooling Tower Cleaning

R2J recommends cleaning based on operating conditions, system type, and risk level. Common triggers include:

Seasonal system start-up or shutdown
Extended system stagnation or downtime
Positive Legionella test results
Visible biofilm, scaling, or sediment
Performance drops in flow rate or heat transfer

“Just completed our annual chiller inspections and wanted to let you know the condenser tubes looked great. The mechanical contractor who punched the tubes also commented on the condition of the tubes and stated you are doing a great job with the water treatment.”
