Is red water in the cooling water system a sign of corrosion?

Direct Conclusion

Red water is often associated with iron corrosion products, though it may also originate from iron present in makeup water. Corrosion rate analysis is required to determine the source.

Judgment Criteria

  1. 01

    Monitor total iron and turbidity to check for sustained increases.

  2. 02

    Inspect for under-deposit corrosion and low-flow areas; avoid merely flushing without addressing root causes.
