The One Where We Talk About Waters Treaters Changing The World
Episode 236
In today's episode, we are bringing back Reid Hutchison of HOH Water Technology in Palatine, IL to talk about what YOU, as a professional water treater, can do to change the world. I know that sounds like a lofty goal, and maybe that sounds too high-reaching, but hear me out… industrial water treaters can change the world. Reid is proof that if you prioritize the right things today, you, everyone around you, and the world will be better for it.
I'm also happy to announce that the Scaling UP! H2O podcast has created a team for this year's Global 6K for Water happening on Saturday, May 21, and I want YOU to join our team! You can learn more about Team Scaling UP! Nation or make a donation HERE.
We'd love for you and your friends, family, and co-workers to join Team Scaling UP! Nation, but if you'd like to make your own Global 6K for Water team for your business/employees please reach out to future podcast guest and Team World Vision representative Steve Spear at sspear@worldvision.org.
Bottom line:
Reid Hutchison will tell us how water treaters are changing the world, one step at a time.
Your roadside friend, as you travel from client to client.

Thinking On Water With James: What is an acceptable water loss in a closed loop?
In this week's episode, we're thinking about water loss in a closed loop system. What is an acceptable water loss? Is it 10%, 5%, or even 0%? How does the volume of the system factor into what size water loss is acceptable? What is being lost beyond water with a leak? What can cause a closed loop to lose water? How do you know it's losing water? Are there times when a makeup water meter may miss a low-flow makeup? What things may be introduced with fresh makeup water that could cause problems within the closed loop? What is the cost of the water loss? Do you know the value of the closed loop's water in $/1000 gallons or even $/100 gallons for smaller systems? Knowing the value may help get other parties on board to address the water loss, if necessary. Take this next week to think about water losses in closed loop systems and what you may or may not deem as acceptable.
