Prioritizing safety and energy efficiency should align with something that fits the budget. Chardon Labs offers fair pricing and has over 55 years of experience in the water treatment industry. We are a service-based company that identifies and treats problems firsthand.
Schools are given a budget they must work with. Boilers, cooling towers and closed loops cost substantial amounts of money to operate. Cooling and heating your school or campus should stay within your budget. Maintenance should be planned according to the water quality in your location and your system’s specifications. School breaks provide ample time for seasonal maintenance, such as a cooling tower or boiler layup.
Government regulations are in place to keep your students and faculty safe. Boiler inspections, Legionella testing and other safety measures increase the school’s liabilities. Being familiar with all local laws and best practices for our industry is important. The service technician staff needs to be experienced and thoroughly trained in safety.
Chemical water treatment is important for K12 public school districts and vocational/private schools. Safety is paramount for primary, junior high and high schools, especially when running a facility with children. The school is liable for providing these services safely, so it is important to work with an experienced and trustworthy company. Chardon Labs performs chemical water treatment at hundreds of school buildings. Let our skilled service technicians help you.

University campuses require heating and cooling for all their buildings, which can be expensive. Monitoring problems for all of these is difficult without remote monitoring.
Thankfully, Chardon Labs offers remote monitoring, automated feeding and electronic service reporting. Campus buildings can vary substantially in size, and appropriate heating and cooling systems are necessary. For example, a large lecture hall would have different needs from a small staff office. Universities are especially susceptible to spreading Legionella due to the high foot traffic in many areas on campus. Quick testing and treating is especially important in combating Legionella, especially for vulnerable staff and students.
Scaling causes calcium carbonate to build up in cooling towers, loops and boilers over time. The thicker the scale on heat transfer surfaces, the less efficient it will be. Your energy bill will go up as the scale prevents conduction.
Our scale-free guarantee is possible through our highly successful treatment, monitoring, automation and testing. Our approach differs depending on the system type, and we can help set up the right equipment and procedures to guarantee this. If your school’s cooling tower, loop or boiler starts scaling again, the cost to remove the scale will be on us — provided our minimum equipment requirements are met.
We utilize corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors and anti-foaming chemicals to help prevent common loop issues for your educational institution’s building. Here is a breakdown of each item in our treatment process:
A steam boiler or hot water boiler is a highly effective heating system for educational facilities. Frequently used chemicals for boilers include alkalinity builders, amines, anti-scalers and oxygen scavengers. These maintain ideal water properties and help prevent common boiler issues like scaling, fouling, corrosion, priming and leaking.
School cooling towers are in consistent operation and require regular water treatment to operate effectively. The chemicals used in water treatment keep the water’s composition within the correct levels. Furthermore, the cycles of concentration — the number of times the water can be cycled before being flushed out — can be increased with the right chemicals. One of the most important functions of chemical water treatment is protecting the heat transfer surfaces the water flows through. Common cooling tower surface water treatment issues in schools include:
These issues impair heat transfer efficiency, evaporate unsafe contaminants and cause mechanical issues. Our school water treatment services are specifically tailored to mitigate these issues — we have seen it all. Utilizing remote monitoring is crucial to stay ahead of potential problems and ensure proper cooling tower operation.
Your educational facility may utilize a cooling tower with its HVAC system. The cooling tower removes heat and increases the HVAC system’s load. If you are considering a cooling tower vs just keeping your HVAC system as is, factor in the following:
We know school safety is a top priority. Our service technicians arrive in a Chardon Labs truck with a branded water test kit and in uniform. You can always trust us to show up on schedule. We clean up after ourselves and value professional relationships with our school customers.
If you need chemical water treatment services for your educational facility, we can increase the efficiency of your system while mitigating risks. Reach out if you need help with common problems such as corrosion, scaling, biofilm, Legionella, algae or water overuse. Our surveys, proposals and bids are free — together, we can properly assess your school’s situation.
