Float Valve Setup Instructions
After float valve installation, there will be some experimenting and analysis of the valve that may be required to balance the tower operation with makeup water. Normally, the setting of the float valve will be set so that zero water is wasted during pump shutdown through the overflow. However, the water level depth during the start up of your pump must be deep enough to ensure maximum pump suction.
To set the basin water level, adjust the wing nuts so that the make-up valve is completely shut when the water level gets to 1/2″ below the overflow connection. These settings will produce operating levels shown in your Maintenance and Operating Manual. To adjust make-up assembly see that manual for the manufacturers’ suggested operating levels. Set the bleed rate and desired cycles of concentration and then you can begin operation. It’s always safe to let it run for 24 hours before you check and readjust.
Thanks for watching!

Replacing a float valve for the first time tomorrow, thanks and god bless you 🙏🏾✊🏽
Great video as always, would love to see the startup and shutdown of the equipment next time maybe.
Thank you very much Frank! Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Always open to ideas. I will make that type of video the next time I have that opportunity. Everyday is something different in this field. Thanks for watching🙏 Stay safe out there & stay tuned for new videos every week!
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain it to us. Your teaching method is straight forward and well explained.
Nicely done and explained, operation shut down/start up would have been nice, but still great job
Thanks
Great video, I’m commercial heating and cooling/refrig, we don’t touch this stuff, but love watching
Great video as always. Thank you for sharing
New to the scene but not to the game. Just subscribed and looking forward to binge watching your channel. Great video and great work. You take pride and it shows!
Good job JMT. Well explaining installation.
Thank you! Your feedback is always greatly appreciated. Thanks for watching🙏 Stay safe out there & stay tuned for new videos every week👀
Super explanation.
Thanks
As always interesting, well explained and excellent video. That’s JMT.
As always thank you so much🙃🙏 Your feedback is always greatly appreciated. I'm glad you enjoy these videos. Thanks for watching! Stay safe out there & stay tuned for new videos every week👀
intense! great job!!!!🤩
Definetly intense. This building only has 1 cooling tower. I appreciate the feedback & thank you for watching! Stay safe out there & stay tuned for new videos every week👀🙃
great job I am a chiller tech my self
JMT putting in that heavy work keep the videos coming😎✌️
Thank you very much Randy! That valve was so hard to take off but the heat saved the day. Always appreciate your comments brother! Stay safe out there. Let's get this money💰
Did my first one the other day watching this would have been useful figured it out anyways pretty easy 👌🏼 good video
That timing tho😅 Its all good, double the knowledge. Thank you! I appreciate your feedback & you watching🙏 Stay safe out there & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧
Dude u never showed how to adjust it like u said u would 20x. I just said it’s all good and working.
I use anti seize. on all pipe threads. Make taking off fitting easier next time
Same here. I was an jet engine mechanic at United and we used those in the hot section. Now I use it on plumbing and everything where things can get rusted.
Teflon is anti seize for piping threads concentric wedge self sealing Teflon lubricates threads liquid or tape 6 to 8 wraps on sprinkler pipe left standing.., 🤔✌️☝️👍💪✅
I wish I could find a company that works on cooling towers and other industrial hvac equipment near me. I currently do residential hvac but looking for another career choice or possibly getting into commercial/industrial hvac service.
Great job.
Thanks for the video. It really helps a lot!!
You're very welcome & thanks for watching! I'm glad this video was able to help you. Stay tuned for new videos every week🙃
Still have so much to practice but getting away from having it too cakey - my earlier videos on my channel the make up just didnt work👍🏽
It's all good! Just keep practicing and learning🙂 You got this👍 Thank you for watching! Stay safe out there & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧
why did you shut the unit down to swap a make up line valve? Never in 15 yrs have I seen anyone go that far for a valve swap... union/non union/commercial/industrial...
I'm going on a limb and guessing the was more to the call...
Great video, well explained. Wouldn’t you set the float level with the tower on?
Yup
I know they are hard to find but I would have replaced the galv street ell with a brass fitting
Bro your vídeo are amazing!!
Thankyou
You're very welcome & thanks for watching! Stay safe out there & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧
Good job🤩
Thank you very much Syed! 🙂 Always good to see you in the comment section. Always appreciated. Stay safe out there & stay tuned for new videos every week!
You better put some stickers on the panel! 🤣 F-PM!
Lmao Idk man I'm a little cautious now🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for watching🙏 Stay safe out there & stay tuned for new videos every week
Clean job bro. I was a building engineer on an old manufacturing building that was reconstructed for a new company during the pandemic. A lot of equipment including HVAC was done incorrectly. It was a mickey mouse job. Found cooling tower that had make up water that was hammering big time everytime it replenished water or when the float valve opened. Could you guess why? The cooling tower and everything else was less than six months old. The cooling tower was BAC. Could you guess why it was hammering everytime the float valve opened?
If there was no solenoid with the sensor rods was the solenoid a soft closer and the sump had no waves like the ocean
@@edswider9309 It's been a while and reason why was because the valve was sticky and fluttering. It was plastic and replaced with something sturdier. Metal valve I think.
adjust your go pro on your head to be better able to see the detial work you do....nice
They didn't want a fancy new electronic probe with high and low basin level alarms?
I hear you with that setup. I have a video troubleshooting one of those. This is the old-school setup. This building is actually only 12 years old. Its been doing its job👍Thanks for watching & commenting. Stay tuned for new videos every week & stay safe out there!
Good job
Nice video
Thank you very much Fathma! I appreciate your feedback.🙂 Stay safe out there & stay tuned for new videos every week!
Cool man
Thanks John! That valve was gross man🤣 Corona virus tower. Stay safe out there dude!! ✌✌✌ Stay tuned🙃
good job!!
you cant review chiller york?
You really need to shut down the whole system to replace the float valve!!!, you can just simply use other water source (for makeup water) using water hose and monitor basin level,
That would be in a emergency situation to do it live like that which is def possible but we don't take shortcuts. Plus, we are here to make money👀 lol. Thanks for watching & I appreciate the feedback! Stay safe out there and stay tuned for new videos every week!
🎉
Do you know of any books or places to study chillers and their controls?
Yes on over time or a break down when your boss sends you out to fix it or else
I want tool bag like this please
i like you
Why shut the tower down your not gonna evaporate that much in that period of time
Monster tape is garbage. The paste alone is fine
Is not big problem esy fix waste of time I am a engineer
When the tower starves of water due to it not making up, it will be a big problem. Lol. Thanks for watching!
I know higt head in the condenser side and you goint to loose you chiller and carry a lot of garbage into the condenser striner
