E+E Leader Top Product 2024
The WaterGard cooling tower filtration system physically blocks and rejects minerals commonly found in municipal water streams (chlorides, calcium carbonate, silica, etc.), reducing makeup water mineral content and enabling higher operating COC, resulting in reduced volume requirements for both blowdown and supply water.
The Marley WaterGard filtration system is the most viable solution for operators/specifiers with plans to conserve water, especially when one or more of the following conditions is true:
1. Local operating conditions are 3 cycles of concentration (COC) or less
2. Eligible for water usage incentive or rebate programs
3. Interested in earning LEED v4 credits for cooling tower water management
Potential Savings
Simple to Service
Typical expected consumables replacement:
- 24 month membrane change
- 12 month carbon refresh (if equipped)
- 3 months sediment filter change
Additional System Requirements
Required to achieve expected benefits and service life:
- Chlorine removal pre-treatment
- Electronic water level makeup
- Conductivity controlled blowdown
