Water Balancing – What It Is & When It’s Required

What it is

  • Measuring and verifying water flow rates in hydronic systems
  • Confirms coils, branches, and mains receive design flow
  • Essential for compliant commissioning and system handover

Why it matters

  • Ensures chillers, boilers, and coils perform as designed
  • Improves energy efficiency and temperature control
  • Reduces noise, wear, and long-term system faults

When it’s required

  • During mechanical commissioning and project handover
  • After system modifications, valve changes, or upgrades
  • To resolve heating or cooling performance issues and compliance concerns

Incorrect water flow commonly leads to poor temperature control, energy inefficiency, and ongoing system complaints.

What’s Included in Our Water Balancing Service

Pre-Balancing & System Review

  • Review of mechanical drawings and design flow rates
  • Identification of balancing valves, PICVs, and test points
  • System readiness checks (pump operation, flushing, air removal)

Testing & Adjustment

  • Flow measurements at coils, branches, risers, and mains
  • Adjustment of manual balancing valves and PICVs
  • Pump duty verification where applicable
  • Differential pressure verification across control valves

Verification & Handover Support

  • Final verification of balanced flows
  • Re-testing where required to confirm system stability
  • Clear issue notes for contractors and consultants

All work is performed using calibrated instruments and recognised water balancing procedures.
