The Importance of Water Treatment in Cleveland
Industrial and commercial water usage in Cleveland presents various challenges, from its aging distribution system to water quality in major sources. The water used for industrial processes comes from Lake Erie, which contains high levels of dissolved minerals and has a history of harmful algal bloom (HABs) growth. The variable quality of source water requires robust water treatment programs that provide advanced filtration, corrosion and scaling control.
The businesses in these essential Cleveland industries have one thing in common — a need for comprehensive and professional water treatment services to ensure top performance of their closed loop systems, cooling towers and boilers. Factors like pH level, bacterial strains and inorganic matter can affect water quality, damaging a system’s components and compromising its effectiveness.

Our Water Treatment Services in Cleveland
Alkalinity, water hardness and other data points for water identify its quality and provide a starting point for Chardon’s water treatment plan. Water quality can vary from Cleveland to Elyria to Strongsville, so our goal is to understand your specific needs and create a water treatment plan to resolve unique issues. Because we sell clean systems, not chemicals, we’ll help you reduce your water consumption to lower utility costs.
Chardon Labs is qualified to handle your boiler, cooling tower, closed loop and other system treatments thanks to:
- Our ISO 9000-certified technicians and processes.
- A customized plan to address your testing and treatment needs.
- A clean-system approach with a fixed price.
Take our free survey today to evaluate your water supply issues and solutions, and contact Chardon Labs for more information.
Your Cleveland Cooling Tower Water Treatment Company
A cooling tower is a specialized heat exchanger that facilitates the contact of air and water to reduce temperature. Since the cooling tower is exposed to outside air, the system is prone to constant contamination, while the loop accumulates airborne particulates, the evaporation process concentrates mineral content.
If a cooling tower is left unused for extended periods, like in the winter, it may develop white rust, biological growth and concentrated mineral content. These contaminants can restrict heat transfer and flow and promote the growth of Legionella bacteria.
Our cooling tower water treatment services in Cleveland, Ohio, start with testing and reporting on your system’s current conditions. Our service technicians will then develop a tailored treatment plan that includes all the necessary defenses against contamination. As a result, your cooling tower will operate at maximum performance and minimal cost.
Chardon has a full line of white rust preventatives, as well as scale, corrosion and microbiological inhibitors that will impede contamination growth and treat existing problems. Our ISO 9000-certified team will complete each treatment, passivation and continued maintenance service. They will also identify which solutions you need for your system.
Our HVAC Water Services
HVAC systems for commercial and industrial applications must meet the facility’s unique requirements for heating, cooling and ventilation. Because these systems have high demands, water treatment is necessary to keep uptime high and control microbiological growth, corrosion and scale. These contaminants can cause pipes to warp and rupture, condensate lines to leak and other areas to suffer damage.
At Chardon, our water treatment services will extend the life of your HVAC system and prevent costly repairs and downtime. We’ll begin with water testing and system inspection to identify issues. Then, we will use chemical treatments to control scale and corrosion buildup. We will also do cleaning, flushing and passivation to remove any existing contamination.
This service is ideal for cooling towers and boilers. Cooling towers are often used with a chiller that removes excess heat, and boilers produce heat in the form of steam. Both systems need professional treatment to prevent damage to the HVAC system from scale and corrosion.
Closed Loop Water Treatment in Cleveland, Ohio
Closed loop systems use circulating water to transfer heat for process, air conditioning and heating applications. The water passes through an air handler coil to be heated or cooled, after which it is indirectly exposed to incoming air or a hot loop to moderate humidity or temperature.
Heating and cooling systems have three kinds of loops — a refrigerant gas loop, a cooling tower water loop and a chilled water loop. These loops are prone to leaks that can cause corrosion and bacterial growth. If left untreated, these issues can cause system failure and an expensive replacement or repair.
Chardon is Cleveland’s expert source for closed loop system water treatment. We will conduct a free survey to determine your system’s needs. This survey will identify the bacteria, corrosion inhibitor, pH, iron and conductance levels in the water supply. Our customized chemical treatment plan will control microbiological growth like corrosion and scale in your closed loop systems. Our service technicians may also use cleaning and flushing procedures to eliminate corrosion due to microbiological particles.
Our comprehensive service includes several preventive maintenance measures, such as:
- pH and conductivity tests.
- Filter changes.
- Cleaning and flushing.
- Equipment replacements.
Commercial Legionella Testing in Cleveland
Legionella pneumophila bacteria — typically referred to as Legionella — is a bacterium that inhabits water and grows in warm, wet environments. The ideal growth conditions for Legionella include:
- Stagnant water pooling.
- A pH from 5 to 8.5.
- Temperatures from 68 to 122 degrees F, especially in the range of 95 to 115 F.
- Sediment that promotes commensal microflora growth.
- Pseudomonas, flavobacteria, algae and other microorganisms that supply Legionella’s growth nutrients or harbor it.
These conditions are found in cooling towers and similar systems that are not regularly disinfected and maintained, which may put you at risk for contamination. Addressing Legionella growth in your water supply is vital because it harms human health. When aspirated, it can cause Legionnaire’s disease, which may result in death. Chlorination does not eradicate Legionella, so professional outbreak control and treatment are crucial.
You can trust Chardon to be your expert source for Legionella testing and control. Our Legionella testing services in Cleveland, Ohio, will identify the presence of this bacterium in your water supply. Our service technicians will survey your water systems and analyze your risks. Then, we’ll develop and implement a water management plan to control Legionella and provide full documentation of our actions. Our testing and response guidelines adhere to the industry standards specified in the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 188.
Boiler Water Treatment in Cleveland
Your boiler is essential for many functions of your business. This system can experience corrosion and scale issues, which can increase energy consumption while reducing efficiency. Inadequate boiler performance can lead to damaged components and expensive repairs. A reliable boiler treatment plan includes using various boiler chemicals to eradicate existing problems and prevent new ones.
The boiler produces steam for heating air and water and maintaining specific temperatures for industrial processes. Boilers are subject to two kinds of problems:
- Scale: Silica, calcium and iron impurities carried in the water adhere to heat transfer surfaces in the boiler. The scale insulates the boiler, reducing its efficiency at transferring heat to the water and warping and rupturing the tubes. Eventually, the scale can shed and enter the flow, interrupting it and causing the boiler to overheat and fail.
- Corrosion: A reaction between chemicals in the air or water and the boiler’s metal makeup causes corrosion. This weakening of the metal can cause pitting, wear and eventual failure, which affects the boiler’s inner mechanisms. Corrosion reduces a boiler’s lifespan and efficiency while increasing its operating costs.
Our Approach to Boiler Water Treatment
Our certified technicians will identify which treatments you need based on your existing boiler condition. They may use one chemical or multiple to treat your unit. Our customized approach ensures that your boiler will remain in top shape.
The boiler water treatment service at Chardon will keep corrosion and scale from forming inside your boiler, protecting its components and ensuring its reliability. After surveying your boiler, our service technicians will prevent mineral concentration through the blowdown process.
This solution involves limiting dissolved material concentration by regulating concentration cycles through draining the boiler’s feedwater. We will also use chemical solutions to control corrosion. These chemical solutions will absorb oxygen and disperse crystals, so corrosive deposits cannot form. Our boiler chemical selection includes:
- Return line boiler chemicals: These chemicals will treat your return line to ensure the pressure is consistent and the metal can resist corrosion.
- Scale prevention boiler chemicals: This phosphonate blend inhibits the formation of scale, and it includes various polymers, agents, conditioners and tracers to prevent overfeeding.
- Boiler inhibitors: The boiler inhibitor protects the system from oxygen pitting. We have varieties that are food-safe for food processing applications.
- pH control boiler chemicals: These chemicals neutralize acid and regulate the water’s pH level.
