Using brushes and/or low pressure water hose, thoroughly clean all cooling tower water contact areas including basin, sump, fill, spray nozzles, and fittings.

PHASE 3 FINAL DISINFECTION AND PASSIVATION Fill the system with water, add chlorine to achieve free chlorine level of 10mg/L Circulate water for one hour, open blowdown valve and flush the entire system until the water is free of turbidity.
