CTV-1501 cooling tower vacuum

CTV-1501 cooling tower vacuum

Cooling tower basins are prime locations for the growth of harmful bacteria, and conventional water treatment cannot fully remove biological matter. Only mechanical cleaning can effectively eliminate debris, sludge, and biofilm. The Goodway® CTV-1501 system safely and efficiently removes bacteria – including Legionella – and other micro-organisms, as well as algae, mud, and sludge from the sides and floor of any cooling tower basin or sump.

This innovative system allows for thorough cleaning without draining the basin or shutting down the cooling tower, saving both time and water while protecting your heat exchangers, chillers, and overall system performance.

Practical information

• Clean cooling tower basins quickly and efficiently without draining the system.
• Safely remove sludge, algae, and fouling from all corners of the basin.
• Automatic collection of debris while vacuuming saves time and reduces labor.
• Minimal water loss – only about 10% per cleaning.

Importance of cleaning basins

Maintaining clean cooling tower water basins and central collection tanks is essential for the efficiency and hygiene of your cooling tower system. Fouled basins can lead to a range of problems, including:

• Reduced heat transfer – deposits and fouling can enter chiller and heat exchanger tubes, decreasing system efficiency.
• Micro-organism growth – fouling creates ideal conditions for bacteria such as Legionella.
• Further contamination – deposited water can spread fouling to other parts of the cooling tower, including packing, fill, and drift separators.

CTV-F2 filtration system

The CTV-F2 is designed to work seamlessly with the CTV-1501. It filters the vacuumed water from cooling tower basins and central collection tanks, allowing the water to be reused in the system.

• Minimizes water loss – reduces water waste to nearly 0%, making it ideal for water-scarce areas.
• Eco-friendly operation – clean, filtered water can be returned directly to the cooling tower.
• Efficient cleaning & maintenance – works in combination with the CTV-1501 to maintain hygiene and system performance without draining the basin.
