D.3 TOWER BODY
Tower Body should be inspected annually and cleaned as required; this includes the Tower external shell, the
water distribution system, the fill media and the drift eliminators.
Inspection:
1. Remove the access door to obtain complete access to the upper section. You will be able to see the
top layer of the fill, the underside of the drift eliminators and the water spray nozzles.
2. The spray nozzle(s) have a threaded connection and are screwed into the water distribution header.
Visually inspect the nozzle(s) for any clogged or damage.
3. Inspect the drift eliminators to ensure there is no damage or gaps between the pieces, and that they
are laying flat.
4. Remove any debris found inside of the Tower.
5. Inspect for biological growth (slime) and mineral deposits. An excessive amount of growth or deposits
is an indication of inadequate water treatment. If allowed to go unchecked biological growth and
mineral deposits will reduce the capacity of the Tower and eventually completely plug the fill requiring
it to be replaced.
6. Before replacing the access doors inspect the door gaskets for damage and replace if required.
Clean all dirt from the face of the gasket and the surface area of the door and Tower. Apply a bead
of non-drying, non-shrinking caulk if there is any doubt about the integrity of the gaskets and new
gaskets are not available.
7. Replace the access doors being careful not to over tighten the bolts.
Cleaning:
1. Remove the access door(s).
2. Remove the fill from the middle of the Tower towards the sidewalls.
3. Clean the fill with a low-pressure water to remove any buildup. If fill is damaged or has excessive
build up it may require replacing.
4. Remove the spray nozzle(s) from the water distribution manifold. The spray nozzle(s) have a threaded
connection for easy removal.
5. Clean the spray nozzle(s) of any foreign object or trash that might be accumulated and could clogged
the proper water dispersion. Visually inspect the nozzle(s) for any defect, obstruction or breaks, in
case of existence replace with a new one.
6. Unscrew the first FRP drift eliminator support and remove the drift eliminator.
7. Clean the drift eliminator with low-pressure water to remove any buildup. If drift eliminator is
damaged or has excessive build up it will require replacement.
8. Flush the interior with low-pressure water and remove any buildup.
9. Inspect the sidewalls, the fill and drift eliminator supports and the water distribution manifold for any
cracks or damaged part. If the drift eliminators have cracks or are damaged, call your local REYMSA
Representative for assistance.
10. Reverse the procedure to install the drift eliminators, nozzle(s) and fill.
11. Before replacing the access doors inspect the door gaskets for damage and replace if required.
Clean all dirt from the face of the gasket and the surface area of the door and Tower. Apply a bead
of non-drying, non- shrinking caulk or never-seize non-metal lubricant, if there is any doubt about the
integrity of the gaskets and new gaskets are not available.
12. Replace the access doors being careful not to over tighten the bolts.
