Pool Heat Exchanger Replacement Saves High School Swim Meet

A local Chicago Public High School found themselves in a bind. They had an upcoming swim meet scheduled but their “steam to pool water” heat exchanger failed a month before the meet. They didn’t want to have to cancel the meet or find another location, so they reached out to JR Industries to find a fast solution. JR Industries reached out to Mechanical Equipment, to get the equipment.

As you can see, the old heat exchanger had corroded over time after being exposed to years of chemicals in the pool water.

We immediately contacted Taco Comfort Solutions for their recommendation for this application, and while other factories are having supply chain issues, we were able to get the correct replacement heat-exchanger quickly to save the day!

We supplied the school with a Taco Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger designed to better withstand the aggressive chemicals commonly found in pool water.
