Safe, Effective, Chemical Free Water Treatment by RSI TEAM GREEN!

Ecology Cell™ Operational Specifications

Source:

Ecology Cell™ water treatment cell from RSI (800) 488-5879

Function:

Ecology Cells™ program controls scale, corrosion and bacteria in any system using water for a heat transfer when applied properly. (cooling towers, chillers, boilers, closed loops, etc.)

Sizing:

RSI shall determine the exact number of Ecology Cells™ required per system based on factors including water quality and system load.

Maintenance:

A person trained to RSI standards shall clean the Ecology Cells™ on an as needed basis and test the system water. Cleaning shall include the Ecology Cells™ and the supporting racks. Silver cells should be cleaned thoroughly, taking precaution not to damage the silver finish. Water tests shall be performed and reported in a manner agreed to by customer. While Ecology Cells™ are in each system treating the water daily, depending on the water quality and type system, visits to check system and test water are typically within a 60 day window. Some systems, such as closed loops, may only require service every six months. The water tests shall include 1) conductivity 2) pH 3) dissolved iron. Other tests may be pertinent on a case by case basis, depending on the makeup water quality.

The cleaning duties include:

  1. Clean Ecology Cells™ and racks thoroughly.
  2. If applicable, check system bleed/blowdown for proper operation.
  3. If applicable, visually check for Algae. Environmentally safe treatment approach for Algae control as needed and agreed to by customer.
  4. Check for mud/silt buildup around cells. Maintenance contractor shall clean the mud/silt buildup from system if buildup is within 1" of the cells.
  5. As agreed to by customer, verbal and written report to customer, maintenance contractor, etc.

Electrical Ground:

The customer/maintenance contractor shall be responsible for checking the electrical ground connections on all drive motors coming in contact with the water, including all fan and pump motors. A "WYE" is acceptable. A "DELTA" (3 wires or a multiple of 3 wires) is not acceptable. A "DELTA" ground will induce a small current through the water that will lessen the effect of the Ecology Cells™. With a "DELTA" ground, a separate 6 gauge or larger solid copper wire must be installed from the motor mount(s) to a grounding rod in accordance with the local electrical code.
