Problem Identified
CoCoWalk, a large multitenant lifestyle center in Florida, was faced with the following water quality challenges across their cooling tower and closed-loop heat pump systems:
- Hard water scale
- Elevated bacteria counts
- Heavy chemical usage
These issues created ongoing maintenance, as well as an increase in operational risk and equipment wear.
Installation: EasyWater Series C System – Model CLC-1000
Installation: EasyWater CTF-100 Treatment System
Solution & Results
To stabilize operations, the facility installed EasyWater’s CTF-100 for cooling tower treatment and the Series C CLC-1000 for closed-loop treatment.
Within months, CoCoWalk achieved:
- Clear water with consistently minimal bacteria
- An 80% reduction in chemical usage
- Scale-free cooling tower fill after more than one year
- Corrosion rates rated better than “Excellent”
- Dissolved oxygen levels dropped to below 1 ppm
Before: Dissolved Oxygen Test Results 5-6ppm
After 8 Months: Dissolved Oxygen Maintained at <1ppm
Progress Since Reducing Chemical Usage
- Improved system reliability
- Reduced maintenance burden
- Lowered safety risk
- More predictable long-term operating costs

Side of Cooling Tower: No Scale After 1 Year
After Treatment: Bacteria Levels Remain Low on a Monthly Basis
EasyWater Series C Closed Loop Treatment System
The 3 Major Problems in Closed Loops:
- Corrosion caused by dissolved oxygen
- Sediment and sub-micron metal particles in the water
- Insulating high iron content, limescale, and biofilm deposits
EasyWater Series C Closed Loop Treatment System provides a cost effective, low-maintenance, non-chemical treatment for controlling corrosion and scaling.
EasyWater CTF Cooling Tower Treatment System
The 3 Major Problems in Cooling Tower Systems:
- Limescale deposits in condenser tubes, piping, and cooling tower fill
- High corrosion rates
- High contaminant counts, biofilm, and the presence of Legionella
EasyWater’s CTF System utilizes EasyWater’s SedimentShield to remove sediment and contaminants, an ultraviolet chamber for sanitization, and EasyWater’s No Salt Conditioners to prevent and reduce hard water scale deposits, biofilm, and contaminants.
