CC - Biocide

Biocides are used to prevent microbial growth that can be harmful not only to the cooling tower but also to humans. The use of two biocides is very common because the microbes can often create a resistance if only one form of biocide is used. The water treatment professional will design a program that balances continual low-level feeds with occasional shock treatments to keep the bugs off balance. The two types of biocides are non-oxidizing biocides and oxidizing biocides.
