Selecting A Solution

There’s a new Water Weekly article on the web site that deals with selecting the proper solution to water problems. You would be amazed at the number of people that call me up and ask me to select a water softener based on the square footage of their home or business. And why a water softener? Yes, they do tend to solve a lot of water problems and even in the absence of problems they make the water better for cleaning, washing and bathing. But hardness and iron are not the only water problems people have. Choosing the correct treatment method/device is very important. That’s why I have people either acquire or perform their own water test. It does not make sense to try and guess what will fix the problems in your water. Even a crude test is better than nothing.

Other than that, business has leveled off a bit and this has allowed us to get caught up, and to get ready for the annual fall rush that comes every year. I am working on a new web site that will focus on other water treatment products but in much more detail than the current site does. There will be less products but more highlighting of those products. It’s more of an experiment than anything else. If it works out then maybe we’ll look into converting Water Value over into providing less products and more information. Right now with the price increases people seem to be shopping more for cost than quality/performance and more specific information on the higher quality products would help them to realize that they truly are getting the best cost effectiveness possible.
