Water Treatment Programs

   We know that you want for your boiler or cooling tower to be operating at its peak efficiency, saving you in operating costs and equipment fatigue.  High and low pressure steam boiler, hot water boiler, chilled water system or cooling tower, whatever the type of system that you have installed, is no match for a Wisconsin Mechanical water treatment program.  

   Wisconsin Mechanical can assist you with all your water treatment needs   We can supply you with water treatment chemicals, pot feeders, complete test kits or reagents for test kits, laboratory analysis of your systems, metering pumps and electronic controls.  

   Wisconsin Mechanical water treatment programs start with a comprehensive survey of your equipment, systems and existing water treatment program.  A laboratory analysis of your water is performed and recommendations are made.  With steam boilers and cooling towers we will visit your site monthly to test and sample the systems.  With every visit a technician will take a sample for independent laboratory analysis, and you will receive a report with the results directly from the lab.  By using a lab to check our testing,   the quality of your treatment program is scrutinized impartially.  If you are in need of additional services, Wisconsin Mechanical would be pleased to modify our program to suit your needs.  

   There is no risk or obligation on your part to have a Wisconsin Mechanical water treatment technician survey your system.   Call today or go to the “about you” page and fill out the survey and a Wisconsin Mechanical technician will contact you to set up an appointment.

   Please visit out projects page to see the results of a water treatment program.
