...at NJ Recreation & Parks Show

March 1st marked the beginning of spring for many managers, administrators, and owners of public and private outdoor parks and recreational facilities. At the NJRPA Trade show in Atlantic City Regional facility managers were clamoring for innovative and new ways to address the many common and re-occurring challenges that they encounter year after year.

"It was amazing to see how similar the concerns and challenges are throughout the industry," noticed Janine Loweth.

"Controlling graffiti is a maintenance challenge in nearly every outdoor facility across all municipalities throughout the region. The only differences that we heard are the amounts and the locations."

Facility managers and engineers throughout the country are preparing to begin the annual ritual of shoveling out their cooling towers, punching their chiller tubes, and repairing or replacing corroded or scaled HVAC pipes and valves. This begins the never ending battle against corrosion and scaling in their water systems which must be treated in some way to prevent fouling, overheating and eventual fouling without compromising microbiological controls for algae and Legionnaire's.

Protecall Sustainable Building Solutions announced a partnership with eH20 to market and service their "Chemical-Free Water Treatment System" for cooling towers and boilers in July of 2008 and the results have been outstanding.

Protecall has found that the eH20 Chemical-Free water treatment systems improves the energy efficiency of water source HVAC systems by 5%-17%, conserves 25%-50% of the water used, and eliminates the use of chemicals for water treatment.
