Does a Tower Tech Modular Cooling Tower require make-up and overflow connections if return cold water will gravity feed a remote auxiliary tank or in-ground reservoir?
In most cases it is not necessary to have a make-up or overflow connection on the cooling tower when tower return water is gravity feeding a remote aux tank/reservoir. However, you will still need to add make-up water somewhere in the cooling tower loop in order to replace water lost to evaporation, blowdown, and drift. We recommend that you install a level sensor in the aux tank or reservoir to add make-up water. No overflow should be required if the tower will gravity feed into a remote aux tank or in-ground reservoir. Note: The remote aux tank or in-ground reservoir should have sufficient capacity to hold the tower shutdown water; if not, you need to find a way within the recirculating water loop to contain (or allow overflow of) excess shutdown water.
