Cleaning a CGAM Chiller Water Strainer

[@EverythingHVACR]

Wow! Amazing it was still working. Water treatment is so critical and yet constantly overlooked for some reason.

Right, this facility has a glycol adding system but that’s about it for water treatment/fill. The CGAM is a nice machine, this chiller went out on alarm for low water flow a couple times, of corse they reset the unit and keep it running… This system also has strainers under insulation all over the place that all need cleaned, but they don’t want to take the building offline to clean them all, as there is no redundancy in the pump room.

@mechanicalenvironments that is typical, no backup, and no, you can't turn it off to work on it 😆. These are nice machines. Just keep a few sensors handy. You'll need them.
