How to Measure the Effectiveness of a Water Treatment Program
Oct 31, 2022For owners and managers of commercial buildings, it can be difficult to measure the effectiveness of a water treatment program. There are many different factors to account for, and measurement criteria can change depending on the specific service or set of services you are receiving. Here, we will explore why it’s so important for businesses to implement robust water treatment programs and ways to measure their effectiveness.
The Importance of Commercial & Industrial Water Treatment
Water treatment services are essential for commercial and industrial properties for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, it can help to keep your building’s occupants safe. Untreated water can be a breeding ground for microorganisms that spread through potable water systems, including pathogens such as Legionella.
Additionally, a water treatment program can help keep operating costs under control and prevent equipment failures. The water being fed into your cooling tower, boiler, and other systems likely contains impurities that, if left unchecked, can result in scale, corrosion, and biological fouling.
Measuring the Effectiveness of Water Treatment Services
The best way to ensure your water treatment program is working properly is to hire a reputable company that provides verification and documentation. Determining the effectiveness of your water treatment program will require testing water samples for pH levels, contaminants, and other factors before being treated and again after. These are tasks that your on-site maintenance team is likely not equipped to perform. An experienced water treatment company should provide ongoing testing and adjustments along with documentation to verify results.
