ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for cleaning cooling tower basins. The apparatus includes a reservoir and large pipe extending from the tower basin to a lower level to act as a siphon. A water supply can fill the large pipe, and a valve can be opened to start the siphon. A cleaning tool remains below the water level in the basin to maintain the siphon while the basin is cleaned. The makeup water valve maintains the desired water level in the basin, so the tower can remain in operation during cleaning. The material removed from the basin is strained and the waste water is disposed of through conventional sewerage.
