1:01.2
better this is the week that we get to

1:01.2
1:08.7
curious what are you doing to celebrate
industrial water week well the fine
1:08.7
1:14.4
folks here at Scaling UP! h2o we are
going to bring you a brand new episode
1:14.4
1:22.7
each and every day of industrial water
week so five brand-new episodes one
1:22.7
1:29.2
episode for every day in industrial
water week so we hope you make Scaling UP!
1:29.2
1:36.6
up h2o part of your celebration nation
we are celebrating pretreatment Monday
1:36.6
1:42.2
if you were to look up pretreatment it
says pre water treatment is any process
1:42.2
1:47.7
that improves the quality of water to
make it more acceptable for an end use
1:47.7
1:54.2
so think of all of the different
equipment that we use to cover that
1:54.2
1:59.1
definition it might be softeners that
might be d alkalinize errs it might be
1:59.1
2:05.4
filters but there’s so many things that
US industrial water treaters have at our
2:05.4
2:11.6
disposal that we can make our job a
little bit easier when it gets inside
2:11.6
2:18.5
the facility to treat if we pretreat it
nation I am very sure that you know a
2:18.5
2:23.0
couple of weeks ago was the Association
Water Technologies annual convention and
2:23.0
2:28.0
conference and Palm Springs and if you
have not been to Palm Springs in
2:28.0
2:34.0
September let me tell you it is hot it
was a hundred and thirteen degrees on
2:34.0
2:38.9
one of those days and then I think it
got down to a very cool hundred and ten
2:38.9
2:44.4
the other days people say hey no
humidity out there but hey that’s still
2:44.4
2:50.8
hot I don’t care who you are but we had
a great time I got to see so many people
2:50.8
2:56.8
that came up to me and let me know that
they did enjoy Scaling UP! h2o a lot of
2:56.8
3:01.9
people came up to me and they gave me
show content ideas they introduced me to
3:01.9
3:08.0
people that I needed to invite on as a
guest it was awesome thank you so much
3:08.0
3:13.3
for all the people out there that let me
know that you have made Scaling UP! h2o a
3:13.3
3:20.1
part of your regular day I really
appreciate that and we’re gonna make
3:20.1
3:26.2
sure to keep quality episodes coming to
you the team here at Scaling UP! h2o and
3:26.2
3:31.7
myself we thought what could we do this
year to celebrate industrial water week
3:31.7
3:35.7
we figured since it was so close to the
association of Water Technologies
3:35.7
3:41.9
conference why not bring the people that
were not able to make it into the
3:41.9
3:46.3
convention hall so that’s exactly what
we are going to do this entire week of
3:46.3
3:52.5
industrial water week we are going to
celebrate by walking through the exhibit
3:52.5
3:57.0
hall by interviewing people that
attended and that’s going to do a couple
3:57.0
3:59.8
of things one the people that have
already been there you’re going to
3:59.8
4:03.6
remember some of the things that you’ve
seen the people that weren’t able to
4:03.6
4:08.7
make it you’re going to get a taste of
what it’s like to go to one of those
4:08.7
4:15.2
conventions and my hope is is that taste
is going to flourish into a desire and
4:15.2
4:21.0
I’m going to see you next year
at that convention well our first guest
4:21.0
4:26.1
is James McDonald now James McDonald was
the one that originally started all the
4:26.1
4:32.3
paperwork in motion to get industrial
water week in official holiday so James
4:32.3
4:35.8
thanks so
much for doing that industrial water
4:35.8
4:40.4
treaters or awesome industrial water
treatment is awesome so it just makes
4:40.4
4:44.7
sense that we have our own holiday and
you made it that we have an entire
4:44.7
4:50.0
week’s worth of a holiday now if you
haven’t heard James’s episodes James
4:50.0
4:57.1
came on on episode 21 and then again on
49 nation I know you are celebrating
4:57.1
5:02.6
industrial water week and I am with the
gentleman that is responsible for
5:02.6
5:07.7
industrial water week James McDonald CWT
how are you James I’m doing just fine
5:07.7
5:11.4
how are you Trace I am doing wonderful
and of course we’re recording this at
5:11.4
5:15.4
the AWT conference so it’s a couple
weeks before industrial water week but
5:15.4
5:19.7
you are responsible for us having our
own holiday and this is the second time
5:19.7
5:23.6
that we have celebrated I want to know
what kind of feedback have you been
5:23.6
5:28.1
getting on the fact that we have a
holiday now yes yes you know across the
5:28.1
5:32.5
world last year when I follow
hashtag industrial Water Week I find
5:32.5
5:39.3
people from everywhere we’re celebrating
it companies of all sizes and small now
5:39.3
5:44.5
call aqua phoenix a wide range of
companies and just people have reached
5:44.5
5:48.1
out to me thinking me for well starting
this is still a it’s not my holiday it’s
5:48.1
5:53.0
our holiday but it’s been very welcoming
it really has been I’ve heard the same
5:53.0
5:58.4
thing too and of course in honor of this
incredible holiday we are doing an
5:58.4
6:03.9
episode each and every day this week
thank you so what are some of the things
6:03.9
6:10.2
that you think an industrial water treat
our needs to know in order to properly
6:10.2
6:15.8
celebrate this holiday yeah well I think
what what they need need to do is use
6:15.8
6:20.3
this as an opportunity to grow
themselves use this as an opportunity to
6:20.3
6:24.1
share with with their colleagues what
what what they can do use this as an
6:24.1
6:29.4
opportunity to share with their clients
what they what they can do and it really
6:29.4
6:34.8
is a well-rounded holiday in that you
make it what you want and so that’s why
6:34.8
6:37.2
there are days there is free treatment
Monday
6:37.2
6:41.9
boiler Tuesday cooling Wednesday
wastewater Thursday and careers Fridays
6:41.9
6:45.7
so you can make it what you want it to
be based upon your expertise perhaps
6:45.7
6:49.4
you’re a vendor who only deals with
cooling towers that’s your focus
6:49.4
6:54.1
well James thanks so much for all you do
not only for the AWT but for the entire
6:54.1
6:58.1
industrial water treatment community and
thanks for getting us their own holiday
6:58.1
7:03.9
you’re welcome and thank you to Trace
James thanks so much for all you do for
7:03.9
7:09.4
the industrial water treatment community
and again thank you for giving us an
7:09.4
7:15.8
excuse to celebrate industrial water
week the next person I spoke with is
7:15.8
7:23.0
David Ragan purer and David was the
president of a WT last year so a lot of
7:23.0
7:28.7
the things that you saw at the AWT
annual convention and conference were
7:28.7
7:35.5
due to David his board and his staff so
let’s talk with David nation you never
7:35.5
7:39.0
know who you’re going to meet walking
through the halls of the AWT annual
7:39.0
7:43.8
convention and I just ran into a WT
president david wagon Feuer great job
7:43.8
7:48.8
this year great convention what do you
want the Scaling UP! nation to know about
7:48.8
7:53.4
some things that happened in AWT this
year well first of all we are very
7:53.4
7:58.1
excited about the online training
modules I think that’s huge and I think
7:58.1
8:02.1
it’s gonna be a massive benefit for all
the members it’s free but it’s gonna be
8:02.1
8:05.8
great for new hires people that don’t
know a lot about water three minutes
8:05.8
8:10.4
it’s a great introductory program and I
think it’s gonna be great awesome and
8:10.4
8:15.1
this has been a great venue it’s a
little hot you probably know that so
8:15.1
8:20.0
where’re we going to be next year next
year we’re in Louisville and I hear the
8:20.0
8:24.0
weather is perfect this time of year a
little bit later but this time when
8:24.0
8:26.8
we’re there it’s gonna be perfect and
when this airs we are celebrating
8:26.8
8:31.2
industrial water week how will you be
celebrating industrial water week
8:31.2
8:35.3
hopefully by selling like five new
accounts there you go I love it thanks
8:35.3
8:39.6
for talking with us
thanks folks I am so proud to be able to
8:39.6
8:45.6
volunteer with the association of Water
Technologies I was a volunteer where I
8:45.6
8:49.9
was just working on a committee and then
eventually I made it all the way up to
8:49.9
8:53.1
the president
of the association of water technologies
8:53.1
8:58.8
now I say this because everything that
you see at the AWT convention or the
8:58.8
9:04.2
training seminars those don’t just
magically happen they happen because we
9:04.2
9:09.8
have some extremely dedicated staff but
we have some incredible volunteers folks
9:09.8
9:15.6
we are a volunteer driven organization
and that only works when we have
9:15.6
9:21.3
volunteers so if the AWT is not the
Association that you practice industrial
9:21.3
9:26.5
water treatment with find your
association and see how you can get
9:26.5
9:32.0
involved you are going to get so much
more out of that relationship than you
9:32.0
9:38.2
realize while you’re contributing making
awesome things happen next person we’re
9:38.2
9:45.4
talking with is Chandler Mancuso
Chandler was episode 64 and we know him
9:45.4
9:51.7
as the youngest certified water
technologist and that was a designation
9:51.7
9:58.3
that at one point my career I was able
to hold and that’s when I got my CWT at
9:58.3
10:01.6
26
since that time somebody took it away
10:01.6
10:07.0
from me that was 25 and then somebody
that was 24 and I believe that was
10:07.0
10:11.0
Connor parish that was the 24 and then
he had it for about a year until
10:11.0
10:19.6
Chandler took his and now it’s 22 22 his
a really young age when it comes to
10:19.6
10:23.3
industrial water treatment and we
learned from the interview with Chandler
10:23.3
10:29.7
that he started when he was 17 years old
so you really got to get started
10:29.7
10:33.8
studying and working in the water
treatment industry if you want to beat
10:33.8
10:39.1
that record
so here’s Chandler nation I’m here with
10:39.1
10:46.9
Chandler Mancuso youngest CWT I just had
the pleasure of doing a panel conference
10:46.9
10:51.8
with you or I was the emcee and you were
fired a bunch of questions about being
10:51.8
10:57.3
young and you answered those great and
there was no doubt about it that the
10:57.3
11:01.5
audience does not think that the people
on that panel were lazy in any way shape
11:01.5
11:05.6
or form so I’m curious from your
you you heard some of the questions that
11:05.6
11:09.8
the audience came with what was some of
the takeaways that you had been on that
11:09.8
11:13.2
young professional panel you know I
think that one of the biggest things for
11:13.2
11:17.7
me Trace is really that there’s a demand
you know for answers from young
11:17.7
11:21.4
professionals and I think that that was
indicated by the fact that there were
11:21.4
11:25.2
questions throughout the entire talk and
so I’m really glad that we were able to
11:25.2
11:28.4
provide that opportunity and honestly I
hope we get to do it again in the future
11:28.4
11:33.1
well this is the second year in a row so
we’ll see if it goes for three years I’m
11:33.1
11:36.3
curious what are some of the things that
you’re learning here at the AWT
11:36.3
11:39.3
convention you know when it comes to
learning things here at the AWC
11:39.3
11:42.6
convention it’s just nice talking to
people and learning a little bit from
11:42.6
11:46.3
experience but in addition to that these
people who come in year in and year out
11:46.3
11:49.8
and exhibit here they almost always have
something new to bring to the table
11:49.8
11:53.8
especially in the technological realm
you know a lot of these people who are
11:53.8
11:58.8
providing unique services with online
monitoring and a lot of these chemical
11:58.8
12:02.1
equipment companies I think that’s
really where I see a lot of the progress
12:02.1
12:06.3
being made and it’s really good to get
new information from them what’s the
12:06.3
12:12.1
coolest thing that you’ve seen here well
I think that whole sphere having their
12:12.1
12:16.1
install wizard over there is a pretty
unique concept for sure and and they are
12:16.1
12:20.5
touting a very quick configuration and
installation capabilities with their new
12:20.5
12:23.3
products so that was definitely one
thing that’s sticking out in my mind
12:23.3
12:27.0
that’s for sure and everybody’s curious
this is going to be coming out during
12:27.0
12:31.2
industrial water week so what are you
going to be doing during industrial
12:31.2
12:34.4
water week well I think it’s pretty
obvious that I’m going to be listening
12:34.4
12:36.4
to skilling up throughout the entire
week
12:36.4
12:41.0
are they religious listener of Scaling UP! and in addition to that I don’t know
12:41.0
12:44.8
we’ll see what else is going on I’d be
happy to distribute some memes if James
12:44.8
12:48.9
McDonald or somebody comes up with any
of us so yeah I think that pretty much
12:48.9
12:51.4
sums it up for me
awesome man well thanks for chatting
12:51.4
12:56.8
with us all right I appreciate a trace
Scaling UP! nation you know that I owe
12:56.8
13:03.7
being in this industry to my father Ray
Blackmore he’s no longer with us but of
13:03.7
13:09.1
course I get to practice water treatment
each and every day because he turned a
13:09.1
13:15.1
job into a career and then he made that
career his legacy by teaching it to
13:15.1
13:22.2
what you may not know is my dad almost
got out of water treatment so there
13:22.2
13:29.1
would have never been a Scaling UP! h2o
podcast if that were the case so my dad
13:29.1
13:35.0
was laid off from one of the larger
companies and a gentleman that we are
13:35.0
13:39.0
going to hear from next fixed that right
up
13:39.0
13:43.6
Scaling UP! nation I’m here with a Dan
Morris of advantaged controls how are
13:43.6
13:47.4
you Dan I’m great how are you I’m doing
great you’ve got so much stuff that you
13:47.4
13:51.5
were showing here at the AWT convention
but I’m curious you’ve got some new
13:51.5
13:55.3
stuff that’s going on with advantage
tell us a little bit about that business
13:55.3
13:58.6
as usual with us maybe a little
different situation for me personally
13:58.6
14:04.4
but I plan to be around for at least
three more years I think we’re in fine
14:04.4
14:08.7
shape well awesome I have no doubt of
that and I think we’ve talked before I
14:08.7
14:13.6
am responsible for being in this
industry partly because of you I was
14:13.6
14:17.6
thinking about being out of this
industry and you found the job that he
14:17.6
14:20.8
took that eventually was my first
water-treatment job so thank you for
14:20.8
14:27.0
that I really want to have you on
Scaling UP! we can we can chat about my
14:27.0
14:30.0
dad we can talk about the water
treatment industry I mean you’ve seen
14:30.0
14:34.3
this industry change tremendously I mean
just looking at controllers and what
14:34.3
14:39.5
they used to do to what they do now I
can’t imagine a better conversation so I
14:39.5
14:44.8
reach out to you I think 1987 when we’re
at the first one of these in the Vista
14:44.8
14:51.4
Hotel and Pittsburgh tagging along with
the Pittsburgh Water Conference so I’ve
14:51.4
14:56.6
been coming here for this is my 32nd
annual one and then we used to do them
14:56.6
15:01.2
in interim you know in the middle of the
year so I’ve been to a lot these show
15:01.2
15:06.0
well awesome and your booth people are
always looking to see what you guys have
15:06.0
15:10.8
it’s a beautiful booth
and the t-shirts you know no FEC knows
15:10.8
15:16.2
but it says I survived a night with
advantage being my father son I know
15:16.2
15:20.0
what that means and I’m gonna make sure
to get one of those shirts you’re pretty
15:20.0
15:22.6
sure to get one awesome thanks for
everything you do for the Association
15:22.6
15:26.5
thank you
now nation what you need to know is I
15:26.5
15:33.6
have known Dan since I was about 5 years
old dan has been a really good friend to
15:33.6
15:40.1
my family and Dan’s gonna be on the
podcast dan is an incredible guy he has
15:40.1
15:44.1
been with advantage control since it
started of course it’s his company and
15:44.1
15:48.5
he was with more controls before that
for those people out there that remember
15:48.5
15:56.1
more controls now my dad got a job
because Dan Morris introduced him to a
15:56.1
16:00.6
gentleman named Jean Bracewell who was
the president of national chemical and
16:00.6
16:05.8
national chemical was the very first
water treatment company that I worked
16:05.8
16:12.4
for so it all started with Dan Morris
and I don’t know if you’ve ever been out
16:12.4
16:18.4
with the Advantage boys but the
advantage boys they can really bring a
16:18.4
16:23.4
party to life and they have these shirts
that they give out at the convention on
16:23.4
16:29.1
the back of them it says I survived a
night with advantage controls and folks
16:29.1
16:34.7
I got to tell you that is a feat to
survive a night with advantage controls
16:34.7
16:40.1
now I myself cannot do that but my
father was able to do so so Dan told me
16:40.1
16:46.8
that my father earned several t-shirts
that he will gladly give to me so I am
16:46.8
16:53.1
proudly right now wearing my advantage
shirt that says I survived a night with
16:53.1
16:57.2
advantage controls one of the things
that the association of Water
16:57.2
17:03.2
Technologies has done the past few years
is they have recognized the young
17:03.2
17:06.7
professionals in the organization who
are the people that are coming up the
17:06.7
17:11.8
ranks to learn water treatment and are
going to be taking over the industrial
17:11.8
17:15.8
water treatment world and they recognize
them as you
17:15.8
17:20.9
professionals now Michelle a farmerie
who you’re gonna be hearing from later
17:20.9
17:25.8
this week she started a group called the
young professionals task force or
17:25.8
17:29.8
committee I’m not sure what they’re
called but she makes sure that all these
17:29.8
17:35.1
young professionals has a group that
they can join and then from that they
17:35.1
17:41.0
are able to figure out what they need to
do to help the industry of course as
17:41.0
17:44.3
they’re doing that they’re helping
themselves by getting more information
17:44.3
17:49.8
and they’re meeting some of the people
that are currently in the industry one
17:49.8
17:54.0
of the things that they do each and
every convention is they do a happy hour
17:54.0
17:59.3
for young professionals now I am not
young and I’m very rarely professional
17:59.3
18:05.7
but I got invited to this young
professional happy hour and here are a
18:05.7
18:11.3
few interviews that I took there Erin
Terry you just gave out some valuable
18:11.3
18:15.8
wards at the young professionals
reception and I’m curious what’s your
18:15.8
18:19.0
involvement on that committee I’ve been
one of the founding members of the young
18:19.0
18:24.5
professionals committee it started about
five years ago at the Texas Dallas Texas
18:24.5
18:29.1
convention and Michelle farmerie had
this idea that we needed to integrate
18:29.1
18:34.5
the young professionals into the
taskforce as it gets more mature and so
18:34.5
18:39.3
there’s only five of us in that first
meeting and we’ve grown the thrown it
18:39.3
18:45.2
into having a regular events doing
webinars or the members and especially
18:45.2
18:49.1
young professionals trying to get them
more knowledge and experience in the
18:49.1
18:55.5
industry and our goal is to bridge that
gap between the older generation the
18:55.5
19:00.3
more mature generation like Jeff armory
and Eric Frazier and all those big names
19:00.3
19:04.1
that everyone knows with all their
knowledge to help us have that knowledge
19:04.1
19:08.7
and and continue to grow well awesome
I’m not sure if it’s a good thing to be
19:08.7
19:12.3
on that list or not be on that list you
didn’t mention my name but I’m ok you
19:12.3
19:17.4
guys let me come here so I’m curious
what have you been learning this week
19:17.4
19:20.9
man
so much it’s like a fire hose coming to
19:20.9
19:26.5
these events one of the things we always
have a session on is Legionella which is
19:26.5
19:30.3
becoming a larger and larger issue that
the young professionals need to know
19:30.3
19:35.6
about and kind of we could be the ones
that carry the torch into the future on
19:35.6
19:40.9
Legionella control and prevention just
the opportunities that the expo to meet
19:40.9
19:44.4
and talk with vendors and rub shoulders
and new products and everything is
19:44.4
19:49.6
coming out it’s just a great experience
for a young professional to have and
19:49.6
19:54.0
what are you going to be doing to
celebrate industrial Water Week
19:54.0
19:58.8
well that’s coming up this next week
right we got a couple weeks before this
19:58.8
20:04.0
airs it will be smack dab in the middle
okay of industrial water week currently
20:04.0
20:07.6
I have no plans but I will make some
very exciting plans and let you know we
20:07.6
20:10.9
look forward to hearing about that
thanks buddy
20:10.9
20:17.3
I’m with Jason to Chiney and Jason you I
have known each other for a while yeah
20:17.3
20:21.4
I’ve seen you add multiple AWT
conventions you keep coming back what
20:21.4
20:25.1
are some of the things that you keep
coming back for oh definitely the
20:25.1
20:30.3
knowledge there’s uh knowledge here all
of these professionals I’ve been in the
20:30.3
20:34.0
water treatment business every year I
come back I just learned more and more
20:34.0
20:40.1
and more and then just always aspiring
to do more within the industry I think
20:40.1
20:45.7
I’ve been doing this now about 16 years
and it’s just it’s great to try to do
20:45.7
20:50.2
something for this industry Jason I’m
sure there’s people listening that have
20:50.2
20:55.4
never been to a convention before what
do you want to say to them Oh
20:55.4
21:02.7
come get here however you can show up be
involved be part of the the AWT the time
21:02.7
21:07.4
to study and take the test
you definitely correct you it’s an
21:07.4
21:13.3
examination elimination and get
certified now everybody wants to know
21:13.3
21:17.9
how you’re going to be celebrating
industrial Water Week what are you going
21:17.9
21:22.7
to be doing it
oh boy I’m gonna go have a few beers
21:22.7
21:26.2
with some of the colleagues within the
industry and beers made of water so it
21:26.2
21:29.9
makes perfect sense yeah thanks for
chatting with us thank you
21:29.9
21:35.9
I’m with Mauricio Nieto and I understand
this is the first time you have ever
21:35.9
21:39.4
been to an association Water
Technologies conference what do you
21:39.4
21:43.9
think about it I had such a good time
from start to finish I’m honestly a
21:43.9
21:47.6
little bit exhausted because it’s been
since Wednesday night it’s not Friday
21:47.6
21:53.2
night we still got tomorrow to go but
it’s been a great experience now it has
21:53.2
21:57.2
been a long week I will not deny you of
that but I know you’ve learned some cool
21:57.2
22:00.4
stuff while you’ve been here share with
the Scaling UP! nation a little bit about
22:00.4
22:05.8
what you have learned this week I can’t
even put it into one thing I’ve learned
22:05.8
22:10.9
so much and just the connections I’ve
made throughout the conference have been
22:10.9
22:15.2
you know I think that’s been the most
important I have so many new leads now
22:15.2
22:20.6
we do my company does chlorine dioxide
generators so just connecting and
22:20.6
22:25.0
networking with all these water treaters
has been a good experience and talk
22:25.0
22:28.0
about your company it’s okay I tell us a
little bit about it okay so my company’s
22:28.0
22:33.6
called dripping wet water we make Lauren
dioxide generators we don’t do it the
22:33.6
22:38.2
traditional way so the way we do it is a
through ion exchange resin so we take
22:38.2
22:41.6
certain chloride when it thread and
exchange resin to make pure chlorous
22:41.6
22:45.4
acid and then run that through a
catalyst that’s a really neat patented
22:45.4
22:48.2
technology that’s kind of we have our
own little niche and the height is Dean
22:48.2
22:53.0
I was talking to you guys earlier it is
pretty cool mm-hmm yeah so it’s uh we
22:53.0
22:58.6
have our nice little niche in the high
purity industry and so and so yeah it’s
22:58.6
23:03.0
been a it’s been good learning where all
these water treaters have different
23:03.0
23:07.2
applications and how we can fit into
them is that’s been just the best part
23:07.2
23:12.2
for me everybody wants to know how are
you going to be celebrating industrial
23:12.2
23:17.3
water week so I’m from Texas San Antonio
so me and my buddies we’re gonna get
23:17.3
23:20.6
together we’re gonna smoke a brisket
we’re gonna we’re gonna have a good time
23:20.6
23:24.3
and we’re going
enjoy industrial water week so I’m from
23:24.3
23:28.4
Georgia and in barbecue in Georgia
that’s pork but that you can’t say that
23:28.4
23:32.3
that has got to be beef in Texas right
exactly you got to do the low and slow
23:32.3
23:37.6
method at least smoked for 12 to 16
hours so there you go you’re learning
23:37.6
23:41.3
all sorts of stuff on Scaling UP! thanks
for chatting with us thank you I’m sure
23:41.3
23:46.4
you can hear from the background how
exciting that night was now I have
23:46.4
23:50.4
interviews throughout the rest of the
week that I did record at that happy
23:50.4
23:55.5
hour so you’ll hear some more from those
young professionals but now I’m just
23:55.5
24:02.3
going to randomly select some interviews
that I did last week so please enjoy
24:02.3
24:08.1
those I’m a Griffin rile of Lube resolve
you guys have a prime location you’re
24:08.1
24:12.7
right up in the front of AWT I want to
know what are some exciting things going
24:12.7
24:17.3
on at lubbers all yeah absolutely so it
is our prime location we’ve we’ve been
24:17.3
24:20.0
coming to this conference for quite a
long time and with partnering with
24:20.0
24:25.4
Johnson Breeden’s ibex we we tend to
post up right here but some of the most
24:25.4
24:28.5
exciting things we have we’ve got a
paper this afternoon talking about our
24:28.5
24:34.1
our top-tier terpolymer K 7 9 8 and some
high severity conditions we’ve got some
24:34.1
24:39.5
great data to show high temp I pH high
severity and really exceptional
24:39.5
24:44.0
performance all right I’m looking for
uncle John because Uncle John accepted a
24:44.0
24:48.4
pretty prestigious award last night so
what are some of the most common
24:48.4
24:52.2
questions that you’re getting from
people walking around asking you about
24:52.2
24:56.0
your polymers yeah some of the most
common questions we’re getting today are
24:56.0
25:02.8
really focused on the terpolymer the 7 9
8 people want to know how high temp we
25:02.8
25:05.8
can go with it and what kind of pressure
we’re also getting a lot of questions
25:05.8
25:10.4
this year about NSF and FDA
certifications as well all right well
25:10.4
25:14.9
thanks for chatting with us thanks Trace
great talking to you I just stopped by
25:14.9
25:20.2
the reson tech booth and I’m here with
Peter Myers you guys are talking about
25:20.2
25:25.4
all things resin tell us a little bit
about resin tech resin techs a
25:25.4
25:29.8
family-owned business that was started
by the Gottlieb family about 30
25:29.8
25:36.3
five years ago and the founder Mike
Gottlieb the time was working at cybron
25:36.3
25:39.9
chemicals
wanted to do things the way that he
25:39.9
25:46.4
wanted to do them essentially he wanted
to develop a company that made people’s
25:46.4
25:51.7
ion exchange systems work better so we
went into business not with the intent
25:51.7
25:56.9
of making money although he’s now quite
wealthy but with the intent of helping
25:56.9
26:01.7
people make their systems work better
all right sounds like the AWT story many
26:01.7
26:05.6
entrepreneurs got tired of working for
somebody else and now they own their own
26:05.6
26:09.6
company so what are you guys
specifically hearing questions wise
26:09.6
26:16.2
comments wise from your customers here
at the show everything from selenium to
26:16.2
26:24.0
mix bed to how do I take XYZ chemical
out of wastewater that’s the full range
26:24.0
26:29.8
and some questions about how to use
resin a few questions about buying resin
26:29.8
26:35.7
which those sales guys like but the the
topics here can be anything from A to Z
26:35.7
26:40.9
it’s it’s quite wide-ranging well I’m
assuming a lot of people that are
26:40.9
26:44.4
walking through the doors all have water
softeners they’re probably treating
26:44.4
26:49.1
boilers what does the average water
treater need to know about water
26:49.1
26:55.1
softener resin did it check every once
in a while and replace it before it’s
26:55.1
26:59.1
completely ruined all right well there
you go if you you got it you got to know
26:59.1
27:01.8
what you have in order to know what to
do with it well thanks so much for
27:01.8
27:07.7
chatting with us you’re sure welcome I’m
in the Karlan booth I’m here with the
27:07.7
27:13.5
main guy bill Hildebrand bill what is
going on in your booth at AWT this year
27:13.5
27:17.4
visiting with customers and showing some
new product so what are some of the new
27:17.4
27:20.6
products you’re showing them we’re
introducing an ultrasonic hot water
27:20.6
27:25.8
meter three-quarter inch and one inch to
start with it will be an off the meter
27:25.8
27:32.2
register so it is not involved with the
heat transfer and the will be selectable
27:32.2
27:37.7
by the customer whether it’s 110 or a
hundred GPC so it’s relatively new
27:37.7
27:41.4
concept for it we’ve introduced a whole
new line
27:41.4
27:46.7
of controllers and we don’t we’re not in
the controls business but we’ve always
27:46.7
27:51.9
offered a limited line of relatively
generic controllers and they’re all new
27:51.9
27:56.3
they’re all surface mount and they’re
more robust than they’ve ever been well
27:56.3
28:01.2
you and I had a conversation earlier
this week that the water meter just has
28:01.2
28:04.9
a story to tell and you’re gonna come up
and Scaling UP! h2o and you’re gonna help
28:04.9
28:09.6
tell the water meter story so I am
excited to get that scheduled with you
28:09.6
28:14.0
well we’re excited to share it with you
because water meters have have lots
28:14.0
28:18.0
applications and some of them don’t
belong in certain applications and some
28:18.0
28:21.8
of them really do so we’re happy to
share bill not a question everybody
28:21.8
28:27.5
wants to know how are you going to be
celebrating industrial water week we’re
28:27.5
28:32.8
probably going to put something on our
website that will excite it and and
28:32.8
28:37.5
really focus on it and we’ll look at
whether we’re gonna offer a discount for
28:37.5
28:40.4
the week for a certain type of meter all
right well there you go well thanks so
28:40.4
28:45.0
much for chatting with us thank you have
a good day nation I’m here with Brady
28:45.0
28:50.7
Benson of aqua Maddox what does aqua
medics do Brady well we make shower
28:50.7
28:54.9
filters faucet filters ice machine
filters that remove the bacteria that
28:54.9
28:58.9
can kill people so tell us a little bit
more about that specifically what are
28:58.9
29:03.8
you speaking on well there’s waterborne
pathogens and I’m not just talking about
29:03.8
29:09.1
Legionella I’m talking about all the
waterborne pathogens that can cause
29:09.1
29:14.0
hospital-acquired infections and we have
essentially a mechanical or non chemical
29:14.0
29:20.6
filter that filters out those bacterium
before they can reach the patient the
29:20.6
29:24.8
employee or whoever is using the water
for most people it’s not really an issue
29:24.8
29:30.7
but if you have any immuno compromised
problems or concerns it’s something you
29:30.7
29:35.2
should be very aware of when something
happens most water treaters Minds go to
29:35.2
29:41.1
secondary disinfection but these are a
point-of-use filters so what you already
29:41.1
29:44.1
mentioned a couple but specifically what
are some applications where these are
29:44.1
29:47.9
being used I think one of the things you
really need to think about is what are
29:47.9
29:53.4
your actions gonna be from a contingency
plan related to your water management
29:53.4
29:57.0
plan if someone presents
with Legionella in your facility what
29:57.0
30:02.3
are you gonna do well you know you have
possibly some type of problem you’ve got
30:02.3
30:05.4
high risk areas such as transplant
needle needle
30:05.4
30:09.2
we recommend the filtration go in there
immediately simply as a precautionary
30:09.2
30:13.1
measure if you have a persistent problem
in your water where you’re over a year
30:13.1
30:16.6
you may see high bacterial counts or
Legionella is detected on a regular
30:16.6
30:19.3
basis
we recommend that in those high-risk
30:19.3
30:25.2
areas you have filtration used on a
regular basis but in addition write down
30:25.2
30:30.3
the actions within that contingency plan
I know I’m repeating myself but take a
30:30.3
30:33.5
look we’re going to put filtration in
that patient’s room
30:33.5
30:37.6
we’re going to put filtration in the
area where that patient was treated if
30:37.6
30:41.4
you need to put it in the entire wing
that you know that’s up to you the
30:41.4
30:44.4
reason you do that as a health
department may come in and their
30:44.4
30:49.1
standard procedure is putting filtration
in the entire building and if you’ve got
30:49.1
30:52.3
a good plan and they feel comfortable
with it those are the actions you’ve
30:52.3
30:55.1
taken and you’ve probably saved yourself
a big headache
30:55.1
30:59.1
well we appreciate you chatting with us
I’m Scaling UP! h2o thank you have a
30:59.1
31:06.3
great show so how about it nation Monday
is pretreatment Monday we are on our way
31:06.3

correctly I’m hoping that you are
31:12.7
31:18.7
already planning to download tomorrow’s
episode and add it to your regular day
31:18.7
31:25.1

celebrating industrial water treatment
31:37.7
31:44.6
with me listening to Scaling UP! h2o and
I’ll have another brand new episode for
31:44.6
31:49.0
you tomorrow on boiler Tuesday
