Notes from the vendor documentation
W600 controller explicitly documented for cooling tower control application.
Products cited in this application
GF Signet's own cooling tower guidance names six real monitoring points a controller needs to run together: pH range control, biocide levels via ORP control or an amperometric chlorine system (explicitly to prevent Legionella and biological fouling), conductivity, makeup-water-based evaporation tracking, chemical feed proportioned to makeup water, and closed-loop pH/conductivity monitoring to catch a leaking heat exchanger before it contaminates the loop.
Cooling tower biocide dosing that's only reacting to a fixed timer, not ORP, is a Legionella exposure a facility doesn't find out about until testing catches it. GF Signet's own cooling tower guidance names biocide control via ORP or an amperometric chlorine system specifically to prevent Legionella and biological fouling — that's the standard James Riggins specs a cooling tower controller against, not just "add a chlorine pump."
