HEATSAVR®/ECOSAVR
Our studies indicate that approximately 70% of the energy lost from a swimming
pool occurs through water evaporation. HEATSAVR® is a chemical product for
use in swimming pools and spas that forms a thin, transparent layer on the water’s
surface. The transparent layer slows the evaporation of water, allowing the
water to retain a higher temperature for a longer period of time and thereby
reducing the energy required to maintain the desired temperature of the water.
We have received reports from our commercial customers documenting energy savings
of between $2,400 to $6,000 per year when using HEATSAVR®.
ECOSAVR® is a patented, disposable dispenser designed for the residential
pool and spa market. ECOSAVR® is made of molded plastic in the form of a
ten-inch long colorful fish that is filled with enough HEATSAVR® to cover
the surface of a 400 sq. ft. swimming pool for about one month. The HEATSAVR®
solution inside the ECOSAVR® escapes into the water and rises to the surface
to form a transparent layer on the water’s surface. Once the ECOSAVR®
is empty the dispenser is removed and replaced.
In outdoor pools, the HEATSAVR® also provides convenience compared to pool
blankets. Pool blankets are plastic covers which are cut to the size and shape
of the surface of the pool or spa. Pool blankets float on the surface and, like
the HEATSAVR®, reduce energy costs by inhibiting water evaporation. However,
it is often inconvenient to use conventional pool blankets because a pool blanket
must be removed and stored before the pool can be used. Pool blankets do not
provide any energy savings when not on the pool. Conversely, HEATSAVR® eliminates
the need to install, remove and store the blanket and works 24 hours a day.
In addition, the use of HEATSAVR® in an indoor pool results in even greater
energy savings since indoor pool locations use energy not only to heat the pool
water, but also to air condition the pool environment. By slowing the transfer
of heat and water vapor from the pool to the atmosphere of the pool enclosure,
less energy is required to maintain a pool at the desired temperature and there
is a reduced load on the air-conditioning system.
HEATSAVR® retails for between $250 and $300 per four gallon case in the
United States. ECOSAVR® has a suggested retail price of $13.00 in the United
States. We market our HEATSAVR® and ECOSAVR® products to homeowners
with swimming pools and spas as well as operators of swimming pools and spas
in hotels, motels, schools, and municipal and private recreational facilities.
We also manufacture and sell products which automatically dispense HEATSAVR®
into commercial size swimming pools or spas at the rate of one ounce per 400
sq. ft. of water surface per day.
We have 18 non-exclusive distributorships in Canada and the United States for
the sale of bulk HEATSAVR® (without the ECOSAVR® dispenser) and exclusive
distributorships in Australia, Chile, South Africa, and parts of Eastern and
Western Europe. We support our distributors and seek additional market opportunities
by annually attending the major pool industry trade shows in the United States.
We also advertise in trade magazines and maintain a website which has information
about our products.
WATERSAVR®
This product utilizes our HEATSAVR technology to reduce water evaporation in
reservoirs, potable water storage tanks, livestock watering ponds, aqueducts,
canals and irrigation ditches. WATERSAVR may also be used for lawn and turf
care and potted and bedding plants.
WATERSAVR® is sold in granulated form and can be applied by hand, by fully
automated scheduled metering, or by an automatic dispenser.
Tests have indicated that WATERSAVR®:
Reduces daily water evaporation as much as 54%
Reduces monthly water evaporation as much as 37%
Is odorless
Has no effect on invertebrates or vertebrates
Has no anticipated effect on any current drinking water treatment processes
and
Is biodegradable
We have one full-time employee and one part-time employee who are involved in
the sales and marketing of WATERSAVR®.
TPAs (thermal polyaspartate biopolymers)
TPAs for Oilfields. TPAs are used to reduce scale and corrosion in various “topside”
water systems. They are used in place of traditional phosphate and other products
when biodegradability is required by environmental regulations. We have the
ability to custom manufacture TPAs depending on the specific water conditions
associated with any oil well.
