Problem
CocoWalk is an upscale lifestyle center located in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida. This large complex has 30+ stores and services, including shops, restaurants and a movie theater.
This facility has a cooling tower system and plate and frame heat exchangers providing water for a heat pump system. The equipment provides air conditioning for all tenants. Like many cooling towers, CocoWalk was plagued with ongoing problems from:
- Hard water scaling in there piping system and heat pumps
- High bacteria counts
- Hard water scaling in the cooling tower fill

Solution
CocoWalk purchased (1) EasyWater CTF-100 Treatment System for the cooling tower and (1)
EasyWater CLC-1000 to treat the closed loop heat pump system.
EasyWater’s CTF System is a unique, three-part solution
- EasyWater SedimentShield—a sub-micron, backwashing filter for the removal of sediment and bacteria
- Ultraviolet chamber for bacterial sanitization
- EasyWater No-Salt Conditioners to prevent and remove hard water scale deposits, biofilm, and bacteria. Our No-Salt Conditioners have the added benefit of preventing the hot UV lamps from scaling.

EasyWater’s Series C System is an advanced closed loop treatment system that eliminates the need for chemical treatment:
- Proprietary filtration media that continuously removes dissolved oxygen
- Sub-micron, self-backwashing filter for the removal of sediment, debris,
and bacteria - EasyWater No-Salt Conditioners to prevent and remove high iron content and hard water deposits.

RESULTS: COOLING TOWER WITH CTF SYSTEM
Our CTF Treatment System has continuously maintained low bacteria count, clear water, and no scale. A small amount of oxidizing biocide is used and properly maintained as a precautionary measure for Legionella.
CocoWalk is now seeing an impressive 80+% reduction in chemical use. There has also been significant savings in energy consumption through eliminating limescale build-up. In addition to these savings, CocoWalk no longer has to deal with the hazard of having multiple types of chemicals on site to treat their cooling towers.
RESULTS: Closed Loop with Series C System
The Series C Closed Loop Treatment System has continuously maintained low dissolved oxygen and corrosion rates in the system while removing dirt debris, and deposits that were in the system.
Before – Dissolved oxygen test results 5-6ppm
After 8 Months – Dissolved oxygen maintained at <1ppm
Based on the chart above, the Series C System at CocoWalk provided results that were considerably better than EXCELLENT for both carbon steel and copper!
This test confirms that Series C provides superior corrosion control without using chemicals.
