: Consistent levels of chemicals would be helped by more frequent metered releases of sediment. Longer periods would leave greater amounts of sediment at the bottom and a possibly greater variation in solution than frequent releases. If the sediments do not cause a problem when skipping shift blowdowns, it is possible to increase the time between blowdowns. This can be judged by titration and observation. It is not as much a matter of tradition and habit than as a wise choice of treatment for consistent protection.

Maybe not.
No, if you are using ULTRA PURE WATER, but in ALL other cases it is a great idea to at least blow down your water columns per every shift.
In that way the operator will be responsible of the safety on his shift. Extended in time, the system will be safer
