This development course is available in both virtual and in-person, instructor-led formats, it is a one-day course about Water treatment for boilers, chillers & cooling towers introducing what it takes to maintain the water quality in these systems and keep them operating efficiently.

Description:
While much planning goes into designing, installing and maintaining your facility’s HVAC/R system, often little thought goes into water treatment of that system. This course is designed to help your employees overcome that. Precise planning can prevent serious operational problems and ensure system longevity.
