A system for water treatment, and in particular for the electronic oxidation and ionization of water in combination with a filter apparatus for providing a totally no-chemical method for controlling biofilm, corrosion and scale in the condensing water loop of a cooling water system in commercial, industrial and power generating applications. Water to be treated is filtered in an automatic backwashing filter tank (54) which contains layers of various filtration media. After filtration the water is passed through ionization chambers (55, 58) wherein metal, hydrogen, and oxygen ions are introduced into the water by the use of plasma fused iridium coated titanium electrodes and copper electrodes. After ionizing the water, the water is dispersed uniformly and completely over the water side surfaces of the cooling tower (18) and circulated through the condensing loop to control biofilm, scale and corrosion.
