Tower Water Basin - high
Pressure check valve
Daily testing of

IV
None
Too little flow
One or both
Operation
No/low chlorine flow to
through valve

Tower Water Basin - low
temperature
valves fail closed
chlorine level in cooling
Daily testing of
controllers at most
water - potential for
cooling water

excessive biological
chemistry
growth in cooling water
system - reduction in heat

Consider
valve sticks open
above
unlikely to
