Q3 2026 WMC Insights: Summer Water Treatment Priorities

Welcome to WMC Insights, your quarterly update on smarter, safer water treatment across Ontario and Quebec.

As temperatures rise, so do the demands on cooling towers, HVAC systems, and building water systems. In this edition, we're sharing practical tips to help reduce risk, improve efficiency, and keep your systems performing reliably all summer long.

Summer Legionella Risk: Now Is the Time to Be Proactive

Warmer temperatures create ideal conditions for Legionella growth, making proactive monitoring more important than ever.

Recommended summer actions:

• Verify biocide levels during hot weather
• Inspect cooling towers for biofilm and debris
• Review your Legionella management plan
• Schedule testing if it's been more than 90 days

Small preventative steps today can help avoid major issues later.

Cooling Tower Efficiency During Peak Demand

Summer is when cooling systems work their hardest, and even minor scale or fouling can increase energy costs.

Keep your system performing its best:

• Check inhibitor levels
• Monitor conductivity and blowdown controls
• Inspect heat exchangers if performance has declined
• Schedule a seasonal efficiency review

Case Study Spotlight: Solving a Persistent Iron Problem

A commercial HVAC system was experiencing ongoing iron contamination and turbidity. Rather than replacing equipment, our team introduced a filtration aid that delivered impressive results:

• 56.7% reduction in total particles
• Iron reduced from 1.71 ppm to 0.40 ppm
• Turbidity reduced to 0 NTU
• No major equipment modifications

A great example of how the right chemistry can solve complex water treatment challenges.
