Water Treatment Sales


In the informational world, we live in it is foolish to think that potential customers have not done or will not want to do research on products they are considering purchasing for their water treatment needs. Over the years water treatment dealers have focused on the "Demo" (in some cases a robotic process) to sell the product.  The theory was with the demo a sales rep should sell 1 out of 3 appointments.  Relying on the numbers game.  Certain amount of leads equals a certain number of sales.  In a competitive market selling money instead of quality has taken over the mindset.  Rentals (reoccurring revenue) is the robotic demos best friend.  But How many years does it take for the rental unit to be profitable when you figure all the overhead it needs to support.? Again, if you are selling money and not quality how low is too low for your rental rate?  An Educational demo is a long-lasting demo.  Now there is always a danger of doing enough education to the customer that makes it easier for the next guy to come along and write up the sale.  That is when product quality and knowledge presentation fits in.  The questions are “Is today’s water treatment sales professional order takers?”  Have we stopped solution selling?  Do they think water treatment is plug and play? If we are just there to write up the order we are not listening to the needs and wants. If we are there to just write up the order, how many times is the wrong application installed?

Myth: I'm losing "Good" minerals from my Water!

You know that water softeners eliminate several headaches around your home—from spotty dishes and stiff laundry to costly appliance repairs. But a common question is whether a softener will also remove important minerals from your water that you and your family need to stay healthy. Happily, this is not a concern for water softener owners, and here’s why: The minerals found in your tap water are in a form that your body can’t properly digest. If you’re looking to add key vitamins and minerals to your diet, it is more important to focus on the food you eat. A well-balanced meal plan will provide the daily dose of nutrients you need to stay healthy. If you’re concerned about your intake, consider adding a multivitamin or supplement. Water softeners are designed to capture and remove specific minerals (magnesium and calcium) from your water. This process gets rid of the home-damaging hardness minerals and leaves minerals like fluoride (which helps prevent tooth decay) intact. Not only

Stains on Plumbing Fixtures

  What causes discoloration on sinks, tubs, and toilets?  If the stains or water are  blue-green in color, then most likely, corrosion of copper  is occurring within the household plumbing.  Stains that are various shades of yellow, tan, brown, black, orange, or red can indicate the presence of metals other than copper. Two other metals that are typically to blame for staining are iron and manganese. While these minerals serve as essential nutrients for your body, they aren’t so kind to plumbing fixtures, appliances and even clothing.  Reddish and yellow-tan discoloration is often caused by iron, while black or dark brown discoloration points to manganese.  Due to their similarities and their frequent occurrence in tandem, iron and manganese are generally treated in much the same way. Discoloration usually results from the exposure of these metals to oxygen, known as oxidation. In your plumbing, water often has limited exposure to oxygen, keeping any soluble (ferrous) iron or manganese
