Why Buy From Cooling Tower Systems

Buying a cooling tower is a capital decision. The system you choose affects thermal performance, maintenance planning, replacement-part availability, and long-term operating cost. Cooling Tower Systems focuses on FRP cooling tower lines and related equipment for industrial and commercial heat-rejection applications.

Before selecting a tower, buyers should evaluate the required heat load, design wet-bulb temperature, entering and leaving water temperatures, flow rate, site conditions, electrical requirements, and whether the application is best served by an open-circuit, closed-circuit, crossflow, counterflow, low-noise, high-temperature, or special configuration.

Over 40 Years Manufacturing Cooling Towers

Cooling Tower Systems has manufactured cooling tower systems and related equipment for over 40 years. CTS describes itself as a full-service fiberglass water cooling tower manufacturer and lists multiple cooling tower lines in production for different operating requirements. CTS has also been a member of the Cooling Tower Institute (CTI) since 1972, and CTS not only meets but exceeds CTI STD 201 standards for all cooling tower models.

CTS Cooling Tower Lines

CTS does not supply every type of cooling tower used in the general market. The published CTS product offering is specific to its own equipment lines. Those include:

T-2 counterflow induced-draft FRP cooling towers

CCT cooling tower models with sump pump options

LCC closed-circuit cooling tower systems

LRC-N square crossflow cooling towers

RLC CTI-certified crossflow cooling towers

Special models

Special models, including configurations such as low-noise, high-temperature, industrial, and other application-specific models

FRP Construction and Corrosion Resistance

CTS commonly positions its T-2 line as counterflow induced-draft FRP cooling tower models. The company describes these models as non-corrosive, energy efficient, cost effective, and among its most common and popular tower designs. CTS operating and service materials describe the tower casing as fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) laminated with unsaturated polyester resin. Gel coat is applied to form a smooth surface and help protect the FRP from ultraviolet rays. CTS also describes the water basin as FRP, with a circular-shaped basin and cylindrical suction sump designed to help minimize pump cavitation.
Other listed CTS construction details include:
  • PVC inlet louvers
  • PVC fill
  • sprinkler assemblies
  • galvanized steel support components on applicable larger models
  • fan blades designed to move large volumes of air efficiently

Engineering and Product Support

CTS states that all CTS cooling towers are designed, engineered, and tested by its own factory. That matters because cooling tower selection depends on specific operating conditions, not on nominal tonnage alone. For a proper selection, CTS should confirm project-specific data such as location, design wet-bulb temperature, water flow rate, entering and leaving water temperatures, power supply, installation limitations, water quality, and whether the tower will serve one process or multiple pieces of equipment.

Replacement Parts for CTS Models

Replacement-part support is one of the practical reasons to buy from the tower manufacturer. CTS publishes model-specific replacement-part pages for its round FRP cooling tower models and lists parts such as:

Fan assemblies

Fan blades

Fan motors

Fill

Inlet louvers

Sprinkler heads

Sprinkler pipes

Float valves

Hand-hole covers

Pulleys

Belts

Related components

For facility teams, this reduces ambiguity when identifying compatible parts because the model number can be matched to CTS equipment and CTS replacement-part references.

Published Warranty Terms

CTS publishes warranty terms for domestic orders placed within the United States. The listed domestic warranty includes:
20

years

FRP fiberglass casing and cold water basins
2

years

PVC fillings
1

year

fan motors, major drive components, and internal moving parts
For international orders, CTS publishes warranty terms of 18 months after shipping date or 1 year after start-up of the cooling tower. Buyers should always confirm the final warranty terms for the specific model, project location, and application before purchase.

Industries Served

CTS references customers and applications across:

Industrial & Engineering

  • industrial contractors
  • mechanical consulting and design engineers
  • chemical manufacturers
  • food and beverage manufacturers and processors

Commercial & Specialized

  • refrigeration companies
  • industrial buyers
  • utility companies
  • dry-cleaning operations
CTS also publishes cooling tower solutions for industrial and commercial applications, including HVAC, manufacturing processes, and power generation where temperature control is required.

Why Choose CTS

CTS is a fit when the buyer needs a cooling tower supplier focused on fiberglass cooling towers, defined CTS model lines, replacement-part support, published warranty terms, and technical review based on actual operating conditions. The right tower should not be selected from tonnage alone. It should be selected from the full thermal duty: entering water temperature, leaving water temperature, wet-bulb temperature, flow rate, pump conditions, electrical requirements, installation space, maintenance access, and any special requirements such as noise, high-temperature water, closed-circuit operation, or multi-tower configuration.

Why do customers continue to buy from CTS vs. larger competitors?

Customers continue to buy from CTS because we provide a level of access, flexibility, and long-term support that larger competitors often cannot match.

Factory-direct engineering support

Customers work directly with the manufacturer, reducing delays and communication gaps.

Direct access to experienced personnel

Technical questions are handled by people who understand the equipment, application, and operating requirements.

Fast replacement-part identification

Our team can quickly identify the correct parts, helping minimize downtime and maintenance delays.

U.S.-based manufacturing

Domestic manufacturing supports faster communication, dependable lead times, and stronger quality control.

Ability to customize towers

CTS can adapt tower configurations to meet specific process, space, material, and performance requirements.

Lower lifecycle ownership costs

Durable construction, accessible replacement parts, responsive technical support, and equipment designed for maintainability help reduce long-term operating and replacement costs.
Customers are not simply purchasing a cooling tower. They are choosing a responsive manufacturing partner that provides direct support throughout the equipment’s service life.
