Parcel Shipping
As we count down the days towards Christmas I'm sure plenty of people have noticed all of the UPS and FedEx trucks out delivering all of the online purchases people have made. It sure makes for an easy way to send or receive all of the gifts that have been purchased during the holiday season. With solid water treatment products, such as EnduroSOLV, it is just as easy to send or receive the products you need to keep your cooling tower or boiler up and running as optimally as possible.
If you are interested check out www.ups.com or www.fedex.com and see how affordable it can be to ship a 50 pound package with ground service from either company. Then as a comparison look at either of the LTL branches of those customers and see what it costs to ship a 500 pound drum.
A quick comparison like this will show that reducing the shipping and handling cost is one of the many advantages of using EnduroSOLV solid water treatment products. So, the next time you see a FedEx or UPS truck don't just assume it is filled with cell phones, sweaters, video games and laptops ... the products making the HVAC system at your office as efficient as possible might also be on board.

New Technologies… Changing the Way We Live
According to a recent article on the EMarketing web site, U.S. adults now spend more time on mobile devices than reading magazines and newspapers. “Print” accounts for just 6.8% of the time U.S. adults spend with media, while mobile usage accounts for 10.1% of time spent. Now it is true that people do many more things on their mobile devices than simply read media content. However doing the Jumble or crossword puzzle or clipping coupons is still time spent with print media.
At any rate, the trend is clear. New mobile technologies are changing the way we consume content.
The same trend is happening in the commercial water treatment space. After years and years of utilizing caustic and dangerous liquid chemicals to treat the water in cooling towers and boilers, a relatively new process is beginning to take hold. Many facility managers are transitioning to safe, solid water treatment chemicals in their mechanical rooms. These solid chemicals which have the consistency of a hard beeswax and are dissolved back into solution on site using dissolving boards. They work just as effectively as their liquid cousins are available in a growing number of forms, including one gallon bottles, discs and sticks.
Solids are finding their way into the water treatment regimens of a wide variety of organizations who value the reduced shipping expenses, safety and cleanliness of their applications, such as schools and universities, hospitals, government facilities and office buildings. And like the mobile versus print comparison, the transition to solid water treatment has taken some time to occur and still accounts for less than 10% of total water treatment chemical usage. We have been making EnduroSolv® solid chemistry since 2002, but growing acceptance of this new technology has been most active in just the past several years, consistent 20+% growth each of the past three years.

Did you know…
• Green building in North America will be on the rise again.
• Green building’s LEED registration will be strongest in retrofitting existing buildings as opposed to new construction as registration for LEED for Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance (LEED-EBOM) booms.
• Building owners will take bigger strides to conserve water consumption as the shortage for fresh water supply becomes more apparent.
Get more information about the above trends and the rest of the top 10 in this article by Jerry Yudelson. And to help with the “greening” of your facility, check out all the information regarding EnduroSolv® sustainable water treatment chemicals to see how our line of solid water treatment products for cooling towers and boilers.
We would be happy to talk with you about how using EnduroSolv® water treatment products will help reduce your carbon footprint, provide a safer and cleaner work environment and reduce water consumption all while helping your facility qualify for LEED certification.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Giving Thanks
It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving, along with 
my family traditions – including: the Thanksgiving Day race, visiting with family and friends, food and football – have come and gone! This year, prompted by the holiday special, “This is America, Charlie Brown,” my daughters and I reflected on the Pilgrims’ decision to leave their homes in search of a new and better life. The girls took away the life lesson that trying something new is not always easy, but with hard work and dedication has the possibility of being very rewarding.
Interestingly, this life lesson is very applicable in regards to water treatment for cooling towers and boilers as well. EnduroSolv® Solid Water Treatment, while having been around for some time (about 10 years now), is still a new idea to some end-users and facilities managers. Changing the way someone thinks about water treatment is sometimes difficult. Imagine a product that is not only economical and safer to use than traditional water treatment but also one that is better for the environment and works just as well as the dangerous liquid alternatives. That product is EnduroSolv®.
History tells us that change is not always an easy thing, but for water treatment, a change to Endurosolv® is a rewarding one worth considering.
