Commercial Water Treatment in Lexington, Kentucky

For facilities across Lexington and the Bluegrass Region, maintaining efficient industrial water systems requires more than routine maintenance. From the pharmaceutical manufacturing operations near Bull Lea Road to the health care facilities throughout Fayette County, water quality challenges tied to the Kentucky River’s agricultural runoff and the region’s moderate water hardness threaten equipment reliability and operational efficiency.

Chardon Laboratories delivers customized commercial water treatment programs designed specifically for Lexington’s water conditions and industrial demands. We focus on delivering clean systems and measurable results, not just selling chemicals.

Cooling Tower Water Treatment in Lexington

Cooling towers concentrate dissolved minerals through evaporation while exposing water to airborne contaminants. If left untreated, this combination produces scale deposits, corrosion damage and microbiological growth that compromise cooling capacity and create health risks.

Our cooling tower programs deliver comprehensive protection:

• Regular system testing and detailed reporting on water chemistry parameters
• Scale and corrosion inhibitors designed for the region’s water chemistry
• Biocide programs using oxidizing and non-oxidizing products to control bacterial growth
• White rust preventatives for galvanized components

Addressing Regional Water Challenges

Lexington’s water supply from the Kentucky River and Jacobson Reservoir presents specific treatment challenges. Our programs account for seasonal water quality variations and the chloramine disinfection used by Kentucky American Water to maintain optimal cooling tower performance.

Legionella Preventative Maintenance for Lexington Facilities

Legionella pneumophila bacteria thrive in warm water systems like cooling towers and can cause severe respiratory illness when people inhale contaminated water droplets. For health care facilities, universities and commercial buildings throughout the area, Legionella control is a critical safety and compliance requirement.

Our Legionella testing in Lexington is designed in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 188 and helps you comply with all Kentucky regulations. We follow a comprehensive three-step process:

1. Survey: We analyze your building’s water systems to identify potential Legionella growth conditions and assess risk factors specific to your facility’s operations.
2. Plan: We assist in creating a customized water management plan that documents control measures, monitoring procedures and corrective actions to mitigate hazardous conditions.
3. Validate: We implement the plan with regular testing, detailed documentation and ongoing validation to demonstrate program effectiveness.

For hospitals, assisted living facilities and other high-risk environments serving Lexington’s vulnerable populations, our Legionella preventative maintenance programs provide the documentation and demonstrated control measures you need for regulatory compliance and peace of mind.
