Stop the Smoke & Mirrors

-
All through our water treatment career - lots of us have used this phrase when speaking of those NCD and any non-chemical program while working for the chemical company.  

At that time period, it was confirmation for our salesman in the field to feel comfortable about speaking ill-will referencing non-chemical applications based on our completely non-biased marketers advice ;-) 




This was because marketing was repeatedly telling us [some had to toe-the-line] that chemicals were the only treatment that worked.  This was indicative of my past and present experience and at that moment I knew I had to take this "Semi-Natural" picture.  I believe that some dubious marketing today is truly operating on a classic case of "Smoke & Mirrors" relative to water treatment.  The good news for WCTI distributors is that we can’t use smoke and mirrors explaining Mother Nature's role.

Since then technology has allowed us to experiment with both chemical and mechanical means. Chemical approaches to water problems have certainly been the main thrust; however, there have been a good symbiotic relationship with mechanical devices such as the DA mechanically stripping the oxygen and sulfite acting as a chemical scavenger. One without the other in this case is not in the best interest of the user. Other mechanical devises have served alongside with chemicals, filtration, DAF’s, belt press, softeners, DI, RO, etc… I have recently had the opportunity to study the Dolphin system in a way that I was not able before (being chemically biased) and have come to the conclusion that the pulsed electrical field has worked and does have merit in the water conditioning and tr
