Top 5 Water Treatment Questions to Ask Your Water Vendor
When it comes to maintaining system reliability, safety, and compliance, choosing the right water treatment vendor is more about partnership than price. And that partnership starts with asking the right questions. Whether you’re dealing with corrosion, scaling, biological growth, or regulatory audits, every water treatment program should be tailored to your facility’s unique needs. By…
Read MoreIndustrial Water Reuse: Strategies, Resources and Programs
Across industrial processes, water is no longer an afterthought but a critical resource under stress. With freshwater supplies tightening and environmental regulations intensifying, industrial facilities face increasing pressure to reduce consumption, cut costs, protect human health, and minimize their environmental impact. One of the most effective strategies to meet these challenges is industrial water reuse…
Read MoreHow Oxygen Scavenging Chemicals Prevent Boiler Corrosion
Boiler systems depend on precise water chemistry to stay safe, efficient, and operational. One of the most serious threats to system health is corrosion, largely driven by dissolved oxygen. Even trace amounts of oxygen can create long-term damage – weakening metal surfaces and triggering expensive failures. To prevent this, facility managers and water treatment professionals…
Read MoreLegionella Training: Compliance, Risk Management, and Prevention
Why Legionella Training Is No Longer Optional Legionella bacteria pose a serious risk in any building with water systems – especially cooling towers, hot and cold water distribution, storage tanks, and decorative fountains. When these systems aren’t monitored or managed correctly, Legionella bacteria can grow and spread through aerosolized water droplets, leading to potentially fatal…
Read MoreWater System Maintenance Checklist For Building Engineers
For building engineers tasked with maintaining complex industrial facilities, few responsibilities are as critical or as overlooked as water system maintenance. Whether you’re managing an office tower, hospital, university, or industrial plant, the performance of your water systems directly impacts operational reliability, occupant safety, and long-term asset value. Routine maintenance not only protects key system…
Read MoreHow to Perform a Boiler Blowdown Procedure Effectively
In any industrial or commercial steam system, water is both the driving force and the silent threat. Without proper maintenance, even the cleanest makeup water can accumulate dissolved and suspended solids over time, threatening boiler performance, energy efficiency, and equipment life. That’s where a well-executed boiler water blowdown procedure becomes essential. Neglecting this critical task…
Read MoreLegionella Prevention: Monitoring and Testing Strategies
When it comes to safeguarding public health, few threats in building water systems are as serious, or as preventable as Legionella growth. Known for causing Legionnaires’ disease, this waterborne pathogen thrives in warm, stagnant, or poorly maintained environments, especially in complex plumbing systems. Legionella prevention starts long before a positive test—it begins with strategic monitoring…
Read More7 Benefits of Water Softeners for Industrial Plants
If your industrial facility relies on municipal or well water in the Northeast, chances are you’re dealing with hard water. Calcium and magnesium levels can fluctuate seasonally, but their impact is year-round: mineral scale, clogged pipes, reduced heat transfer, and extra wear on your equipment. And when you’re running boilers, cooling systems, or manufacturing processes…
Read MoreTop 5 Facility Management Trends for 2025
Facility management is evolving at a rapid pace, driven by new technologies, stricter regulations, and increasing pressure to maintain safe, efficient, and compliant buildings. From high-rises and schools to commercial campuses across the Northeast, facilities are leaning into digital transformation to stay ahead. Understanding current facility management trends is essential, not only for keeping systems…
Read MoreCommon Myths About Industrial Water Softeners Debunked
Introduction: What’s at Stake with Hard Water in Industrial Systems Industrial facilities rely on clean water to power boilers, cool critical equipment, and support a range of production processes. But untreated hard water—which contains high levels of calcium and magnesium—can silently degrade equipment, lower heat transfer efficiency, and increase operating costs. The solution is well…
