Water treatment is used to optimize most water-based industrial processes, such as heating, cooling, processing, cleaning, and rinsing so that operating costs and risks are reduced. Poor water treatment lets water interact with the surfaces of pipes and vessels which contain it. Steam boilers can scale up or corrode, and these deposits will mean more fuel is needed to heat the same amount of water. Cooling towers can also scale up and corrode, but left untreated, the warm, dirty water they can contain will encourage bacteria to grow, and Legionnaires disease can be the fatal consequence.
Water treatment is also used to improve the quality of water contacting the manufactured product e.g. semiconductors, and/or can be part of the product e.g. beverages, pharmaceuticals, etc. In these instances, poor water treatment can cause defective products. In many cases, effluent water from one process can be suitable for reuse in another process if given suitable treatment. This can reduce costs by lowering charges for water consumption, reduce the costs of effluent disposal because of reduced volume and lower energy costs due to the recovery of heat in recycled wastewater.

5. Sales Training
Industrial water treatment seeks to manage four main problem areas: scaling, corrosion, microbiological activity and disposal of residual wastewater. Boilers do not have many problems with microbes as the high temperatures prevent their growth. Scaling occurs when the chemistry and temperature conditions are such that the dissolved mineral salts in the water are caused to precipitate and form solid deposits. These can be mobile, like a fine silt, or can build up in layers on the metal surfaces of the systems.
Scale is a problem because it insulates and heat exchange becomes less efficient as the scale thickens, which wastes energy. Scale also narrows pipe widths and therefore increases the energy used in pumping the water through the pipes.
Corrosion occurs when the parent metal oxidizes (as iron rusts, for example) and gradually the integrity of the plant equipment is compromised. The corrosion products can cause similar problems to scale, but corrosion can also lead to leaks, which in a pressurized system can lead to catastrophic failures.
Microbes can thrive in untreated cooling water, which is warm and sometimes full of organic nutrients as wet cooling towers are very efficient air scrubbers. Dust, flies, grass, fungal spores, and others collect in the water and create a sort of "microbial soup" if not treated with biocides. Most outbreaks of the deadly Legionnaires' Disease have been traced to unmanaged cooling towers.

Legionnaires' disease is a form of atypical pneumonia caused by any type of Legionella bacteria. Signs and symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, high fever, muscle pains, and headaches. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may also occur. This often begins two to ten days after being exposed.[3]
The bacterium is found naturally in fresh water. It can contaminate hot water tanks, hot tubs, and cooling towers of large air conditioners. It is usually spread by breathing in mist that contains the bacteria. It can also occur when contaminated water is aspirated.
It typically does not spread directly between people and most people who are exposed do not become infected. Risk factors for infection include older age, history of smoking, chronic lung disease, and poor immune function. It is recommended that those with severe pneumonia and those with pneumonia and a recent travel history be tested for the disease. Diagnosis is by a urinary antigen test and sputum culture.
Legionnaires' disease acquired its name in July 1976, when an outbreak of pneumonia occurred among people attending a convention of the American Legion at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia. Of the 182 reported cases, mostly men, 29 died. On January 18, 1977, the causative agent was identified as a previously unknown strain of bacteria, subsequently named Legionella, and the species that caused the outbreak was named Legionella pneumophila.

11. Receiving & Inspection
Upon receipt of order, inspect package thoroughly.
In the event there was damage incurred in transit you must notify the freight company within 3-5 days of receipt of order. Once system is inspected for damage and received in good condition, and store indoors in safe place until installing. Damaged incurred before installation is not covered under warranty.

12. Installation & Operation
Before you get started…
All fasteners and fitting should be properly inspected and secured before operation as they may be loosened in transit
Personnel safety practices should apply at all times
Safety glasses or face shields and gloves should be worn
Do not service glycol feed package with out disconnecting power
Close isolation valve and release pressure before servicing any components on the system
All liquids in system should be drained before servicing
Glycol feed package should be installed by qualified personnel.

13. Installation & Operation
Although there is no power requirements, bypass/filter & bromine feeders should not be exposed to direct elements. In the case there is no dry location that is convenient to install the bypass/filter feeder. A shelter, awning or shed should to be installed to extend product life.
Once location is decided on, feeder needs to be securely mounted. Be sure that flat bottom feeders are strapped to secure surface and dome bottom feeders (with legs included) are secured with local building codes. In accordance, outlet piping should be supported within 12 inches of feeder. System vibrations should be minimal.

14. Installation & Operation
CONNECTING TO THE SYSTEM Feeder bypass flow rate (In GPM) shall not exceed volume of feeder (In Gallons). Flow rates in excess of feeder volume, (one gallon feeder flow rate should be 1GPM) dramatically reduces feeder and filter life. Flow control valves should be installed on discharge side of feeder. All GTP feeder pressure and temperature limitations are designated on product label. Be sure the feeder meets or exceeds your systems requirements. GTP suggests the installation of air release valve, if not already supplied.

15. Installation & Operation
(Standard feeders and Pleated Filter Feeders) “FB” Flat bottom feeders come standard with 2 fittings. Lower side fitting is the inlet and the upper neck fitting is the discharge. “DB” Dome bottom feeders come standard with 3 fittings. Lower side fitting is the inlet, upper neck fittings are the discharge and the bottom dome fitting is for the drain.

23. Maintenance
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Routine maintenance in this section is referred to as checking a feeder once a month until a maintenance schedule can be determined, filter models may need frequent cleaning on start-up of new closed loop systems. All fasteners should be check for proper operations. Maintenance and care will depend upon the usage and environment in which the feeder is subject to.
