Ever wondered what the effect of engaging in “green” or environmentally sustainable behavior would be? Making the earth safer for those who come after us is a nice goal in theory. But how do we know our actions will actually have a positive effect?
For facility managers focused on treating the water in their cooling towers, boilers and closed loops, there now is a way to measure one of the benefits of going green from a water treatment perspective: reducing carbon footprint.
We recently developed and posted on the EnduroSolv website a configurator of sorts to help you understand the benefit of switching to solid water treatment chemicals. Just enter a few pieces of data based on your current usage of liquid water treatment chemicals and click on the big, green “Calculate Savings” button – and you’ll see your estimated carbon footprint reduction. We also provide an estimate of the number days leaving your car in the garage that reduction equates to.
It’s a pretty cool tool that begins to quantify one of the positive environmental results of taking the step to solid water treatment chemicals. If you would like to learn more, visit the EnduroSolv site or drop us a note.

AHA! Moments
Aha Moment definition:
Part of Speech: n
Definition: a sudden understanding, recognition, or resolution; the instant at which the solution to a problem becomes clear.
Example: "Once she had that aha moment, she knew how to proceed."
Life is full of “aha moments”… those moments when something becomes crystal clear, perhaps even obvious. An aha moment could happen for just about anything… in grade school – long division… ugh (although for many of us, this particular moment may never come, thank you calculators); in high school – your career/college choice; for homeowners – the perfect tool to fix that leaky faucet. The list can go on and on…
At the recent National School Plant Manager Association (NSPMA) trade show in the beautiful city of Nashville, my colleague and I witnessed many “aha moments” at our booth. As the plant managers from around the country took a few minutes to find out about the benefits of our EnduroSolv line of products, the aha moments were numerous!

Lowering shipping costs, eliminating spill potentials, reducing risk of moving heavy drums… Could you be missing out on your Aha Moment for your mechanical room?

Another Clean Installation
Does this look like your mechanical room?
If the answer is no, why not contact us (www.endurosolv.com/contact)? We’ll put you in touch with one of our local EnduroSolv® solid-concentrate water treatment partners who can work with you to transition your mechanical room to an efficient, clean, safe and sustainable water treatment implementation.
This installation was done by our 2010 EnduroSolv® Distributor of the Year, Water Treatment Services, Inc. of Little Rock, AR. Water Treatment Services is one of many EnduroSolv® distributor/partners throughout the country (and increasingly, around the world). The EnduroSolv® partner in your geographic area can get your water treatment program switched over from a liquid treatment program to a solid water treatment program.
The above picture has a cooling tower inhibitor, bio-dispersant and a biocide – replacing at least 3 drums of liquid chemical and the shipping costs, mess and hazards that are associated with them. Let us know how we can help you get your mechanical room to look like this!

Reflecting on Rising Gas Prices
Upon filling my car with gas yesterday, it occurred to me that I went over the $50 ceiling that I have subconsciously implanted in my “you are paying too much” brain. But what can we do? Well, the obvious action is to shift to a more efficient automobile. Usually efficiencies are attributed to a “lighter” car.
Any mode of transportation takes energy to get from point A to point B. It’s no different In water treatment- it’s expensive to ship heavy drums of product -shipping costs are attributed to a value somewhere around 20% of the cost of standard liquid water treatment products (which contain up to 85% water).
Why not switch to a concentrated-solid product like EnduroSolv® to save on shipping costs, and add the water with an automated dispensing system at point of use? Research estimates show a savings of $80 per drum. It makes a lot of “cents”.

Preparing Your Cooling Tower for Summer
Spring has finally arrived – well at least on the Calendar. Time to start planning for the start up of your cooling towers. Want to make it easier this year? We have a solution – our EnduroSolv® Sticks products.
With conventional liquid treatment it’s always a hassle to draw out a couple of quarts, or gallons depending on the size of your system and lugging that up to the cooling tower to add to the recirculating water when you start up. The alternative – turn on your chemical pump for a whatever the equivalent time is to dispense the correct amount into the recirculating line before you put load on the system. But don’t forget to turn off the pump – or you’ll have foaming to deal with.
With EnduroSolv® Sticks, one stick of the inhibitor added to the tower at start up will give you the proper amount of treatment for 4,000 system gallons. For an 8,000 gallon system – just throw 2 sticks in the sump. They’ll dissolve just fine without you having to do anything more. Even the wrap of the stick is water soluble – no fuss, no muss.
While you’re at it, add sticks of ES3600 (our DTEA II product), a great dispersant to make sure you get everything taken care of.
