  A good thought on a play on words -  5th or 6th Century BC Little did he know that our Soft Water program reflects on much of what he said.... :-)

  We are pleased to announce our now available system for BOD reduction, labor and water conservation all while reducing biocidal additives.

April summary 2020*: "April offered near-normal temperatures but abnormally low precipitation across Washington. With the early loss of snowpack on the eastern slope of the Cascades, coupled with meager rainfall statewide, much of the state ended the month showing mild, moderate, or severe drought conditions. The State Climatologist’s May  newsletter  provides details, as well as a review of the past winter and a, peek at the state’s climate outlook". * Quote: from DOE It's a pleasure to see customers' reactions to seeing their water bills come down significantly on our water conservation program.  Give us a challenge and we will meet it. Remember; one of the most important reasons for a cooling tower is to save water - think about that for a while - think primary reason not what all the other duties of a cooling tower are. Remember, one gallon down the drain unnecessarily will cost you ~ $8K a year in most cities.  Email me if you need to find out wh

So many forget that Memorial day encompasses remembering many wars and those that fought in them and died in battle... RIP! Enjoy your Monday while celebrating these men and women who should for always be in our memories.  For those that don't know this ... we have failed them by not teaching them. Sad to say, Monday is BBQ day to those that fail to remember!

Wisdom and love come from across the pond...   Got to love the Scotch.  This was thanks to @islaaanne on Twitter.  Needs to go viral (forgive the pun) for sure in times like this

It may be a prudent course of action to prepare for more water use in cooling tower operation [higher bleed rates] with well water kicking in early this year in the Tolt & Cedar water shed which may also affect North Pugent Sound's water shed. Your chemical program will be dramatically affected by the introduction of early well water infusion into the main Watershed Supply for all facilities using cooling towers and boilers. Our surface water i.e. watershed [Snow Melt] is perfect for the Pacific Northwest on a chemical program, however when well water is introduced [happens every year during summer months], you will be using far more water to maintain the properties of chemical limits and its related chemistry. This includes all elerto-mechemical devices. Your bleed rates could go up as much as 10 to 20% during well water usage. However, I program does not care about well water, in fact we would prefer it more then watershed water. We can maintain less than 2% at al
