There are four basic areas of water treatment: Process water treatment for conditioning of water for a manufacturing process, which may be necessary even though the source is city water; Boiler water treatment for conditioning of boiler feed water to eliminate erosion, corrosion, and scale build-up; Cooling Tower water treatment to eliminate corrosion scale and slime; and Drinking water treatment to sterilize, fluoridate, filter, control odor and taste.
 

A Cooling Tower is an open recirculating cooling water system used to extract heat from processes or equipment. Examples include air conditioning chillers, industrial processes, and related equipment. It can be a large device, in the form of a tower-shaped building, in which warm water is cooled by evaporation caused by circulating currents of air.  Using pumps and controllers help increase energy efficiency, reduce water consumption, reduce manpower, and optimize chemical utilization.

A Boiler is the part of a steam generator where water is converted into steam and consists of metal shells and tubes. The object is to generate heat to make steam for use in a plant.  Boiler feed water is chemically treated to eliminate erosion, corrosion, and scale buildup.

 
Both these water treatment processes involves chemicals and potential for corrosion. The applications are ideal for plastic pipe, valves, fittings, metering pumps, controls, timers, and pre-engineered skid systems.
