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.
