Plans and specifications for new building projects are prepared with a great deal of time and expense. Many times, however, some items are left to chance, with little or no thought given to system maintenance once the project is completed. Water treatment of the hvac/r waterside often falls into this category.
Precise planning on the part of the design professional can prevent serious start-up and operational problems, and ensure system longevity, when a proper water treatment program is specified and provided.
