Claim 45:
46. A method of operating a cooling tower, the method comprising:
distributing an evaporative liquid onto an evaporative heat exchanger of the cooling tower;
detecting a parameter of the evaporative liquid using a sensor of the cooling tower;
operating an evaporative liquid treatment system of the cooling tower upon a determination of inadequate evaporative liquid quality based at least in part on the evaporative liquid parameter;
detecting the parameter of the evaporative liquid using the sensor after operating the evaporative liquid treatment system;
determining whether the evaporative liquid treatment system is unable to remedy the inadequate evaporative liquid quality based at least in part upon the parameter of the evaporative liquid detected after operating the evaporative liquid treatment system; and
changing operation of the cooling tower to facilitate safe operation of the cooling tower upon a determination that the evaporative liquid treatment system is unable to remedy the inadequate evaporative liquid quality.
