“Cooling towers should be cleaned and disinfected at least twice a year. Normally this maintenance will be performed before initial start-up at the beginning of the cooling season and after shutdown in the fall.” -
the OSHA Technical Manual – Section III: Chapter 7
Cooling towers are an integral part of your HVAC system but can become dirty with sludge and debris and mud that build up in the water basin, becoming a breeding ground for harmful bacteria, especially Legionnaires Disease Bacteria (LBD).
Legionnaires' disease is a severe form of pneumonia - lung inflammation usually caused by infection. Legionnaires' disease is caused by a bacterium known as legionella. You can't catch Legionnaires' disease from person-to-person contact. Instead, most people get Legionnaires' disease from inhaling the bacteria.
- Mayo Clinic
The cooling tower should be cleaned whenever sludge and sediment build up in the cooling tower basin and disinfected after cleaning to prevent future bacterial growth. Filthy water and build up in your cooling tower can also cause increased energy costs by reducing the chiller energy efficiency.
