New Pure Water System

Yesterday I got to use our new Sim440 RO/DI system and was impressed. I'm used to using a system that has a dedicated pump and this one is pumpless (although you can add any number of pump options on your own). But with the advent of many pumpless system in the last year or two I figured it was time to see if it would work for us. I shot a short video of my results -


I also like the toolbox concept. The slide out handle is sturdy and the wheels roll well. Plus at only $2475 and loaded with unique features this is a great system.

What is networking?

We here the term networking used a lot in the window cleaning business but what do we mean when we use that term? For me and many others networking is all about learning from others. It's a proactive way for us to learn our craft and avoid mistakes by hearing how others have dealt with the speed bumps of business.
Some may view networking suspiciously thinking we are trying to gain an unfair advantage over others by forming some secret group but nothing could be further from the truth.
If you have the opportunity to attend a networking event in your area I strongly suggest you do so. You will gain new colleagues and just maybe get a better understanding of how to run a successful business.
In fact if you are anywhere near Coralville, Iowa on July 20th or 21st think about attending the MWCC.
