“Price Is What You Pay, Value Is What You Get” (Warren Buffet)

A few data points:

A “typical” high rise office building (20 stories) utilizes about 500,000 sq ft of space. The annual utility budget for this space averages about $825,000. So, where does a water treatment budget fall into this scheme?

The answer is -- Somewhere around $12,000 per year (or 1 ½ % of the total utility budget).

EnduroSolv® Solid water treatment chemicals reduces or eliminates:

• Shipping concerns about corrosive liquids
• Shipping costs -- 50 lbs vs. 500 lbs
• Worker chemical exposure concerns
• Equipment room space savings
• Reduces the carbon footprint of the facility

Our partners indicate that switching to EnduroSolv® Solids is cost effective when taking freight and drum disposal issues into consideration, but may need an initial “changeover” investment for on-sight dissolving equipment. This dissolving equipment might average about $1,200 per installation.

Therefore, switching may constitute 10% of the cost of water treatment, which might seem significant to someone only considering his/her water treatment budget. But considering the total utility budget cost, the changeover cost is insignificant.

Sometimes, it’s imperative that the message is received by the people who can look at the big picture and have the power to change.
