Dear all,

Should we test makeup water from the water source (incoming), or from inside the cooling tower itself?

I'm referring to the LEED wording in the reference guide stating that: "Chemically analyzing makeup water allows for calculation of optimal cycles"

So does it mean that we must analyze only makeup water before entering the cooling tower?

Hi Omar - that's right, the incoming water should be tested.

We have the water test result from the two reservior which are so far from the project site (about 70-80 km). However these reservior provide the city water.Do you know the result is acceptable for LEED or we should have an on site water test?
