Now is the time that your customers are anticipating opening their outdoor pool facilities and getting their pools and spas ready for the summer. Starting out the season with clean filters will help them have the best quality water throughout the pool and spa season. The use of Breakaway® Flush to clean sand filters can rid the filters of organic contamination that has accumulated during the previous season and over the winter months. Accumulated organic contamination in sand filters degrades filter performance and can significantly reduce water quality.
Breakaway® Flush treatment at start-up will make start-up easier, help stabilize water chemistry and provide superior water quality and clarity.

Safety
Don’t overlook the sell-ability of using The Moss™ to reduce the number and types of chemicals being used and stored on site. From an HR or safety perspective, one chemical related incident, be it a spill, inadvertent mixing, or exposure to employees or others is disruptive at least, and hazardous to health and safety and expensive at worst. If a few kilograms of The Moss™ per month can serve up the same results as the 55 gallon drums, why not use it instead?

Water contamination can have serious and costly effects, such as equipment damage and even failure, not to mention worker health problems. Heavy particulate matter and corrosive agents in process water can wreak havoc on your plant’s productivity. The following conditions suggest that your plant is suffering from water contamination:
Hypochlorous acid “salt” generators and PoolMoss® were made for each other. Depending on the chemical composition of the local water, a lot of scale can accumulate between the plates, requiring acid washing or costly replacement.
As one satisfied customer in Minnesota reported, “I open my pool, turn on the generator, fill the contact chamber with PoolMoss® and enjoy the pool all summer long. Last year, I didn’t have to add anything to the pool except some water.”

On Feb. 11, 2018, BBC News shared a story about 12 cities in the world that are likely to run out of drinking water. Imagine turning on the faucet in a modern city and nothing coming out for days. Weeks. Months?”Cape Town (South Africa) is in the unenviable situation of being the first major city in the modern era to face the threat of running out of drinking water.” The cities aren’t all located in deserts. One US city is even on the list. Pollution, crumbling infrastructure, saltwater intrusion, and draining aquifers are some of the issues. You can read more about it here.

The cooling water in a food processing facility in Illinois was treated with a traditional scale/corrosion inhibiting blend along with an oxidizing biocide, a non-oxidizing biocide, a bio-dispersant, and a defoamer. There was heavy contamination of the cooling water from the process systems which was leading to extreme organic contamination and foaming (see Figure 1).

THE PROBLEMS
The Zambarano Hospital replaced their window air conditioners with a central cooling plant with a cooling tower and absorption chiller. They wanted to provide first class water treatment without polluting the water with hazardous chemicals since the cooling system is adjacent to the lake that supplies water to the hospital.

Creative Water Solutions is currently in beta testing with water treatment for animal husbandry in the hog and dairy cow segments of the market. Since the federal government outlawed prophylactic administration of antibiotics for farm animals, water quality and purity has become a critical issue in animal health.
We are finishing a six-month beta test on a sow facility outside Morris, MN. We did a water analysis of the needs of the sow barn and designed a system to deliver adequate amounts of ProMoss™ treated water to satisfy the needs of the sows and the maintenance of the facility.

Legionella pneumonia was in the news again last week due to cases traced to Disneyland® cooling towers in Southern California. Of the 12 reported cases as of this writing, one patient has died. After the New York City outbreak in the Bronx in 2015, strict testing and reporting standards were instituted statewide. All towers are tested quarterly with water samples sent to a state certified testing facility. Any result that records greater than 20 CFU/mL but less than 1000 CFU requires online disinfection and retest in 3-7 days. When less than 20 CFU/mL is reached, routine maintenance continues. Greater than 1000 CFU requires state notification, online decontamination and retest. If any retest continues to be greater than 1000 CFU/mL, the cooling tower must be drained, decontaminated, and retested until it is below 1000 CFU/ml.
