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”.
