WATER SOFTENERS ARE "GREEN"
By Don Stallman


I'll wager that most people who read this never thought that a water softener could be considered a "GREEN" asset to a building

Water softeners reduce soap and cleaner usage while cleaning more efficiently, saving time, money and energy, as well as reducing packaging (plastic) and freeing up valuable landfill space. 

They improve water heating efficiency, thus saving fossil energy as well as money.

They aid in decreasing plumbing obsolescence.

Consider the increase in textile life, again indirectly saving energy.

As a result of both the obvious and not-so-obvious benefits, the user will reduce the consumption of energy and resources, which in turn results in an environmental and economic benefit.  Additionally, the use of a softener aids in the reduction of greenhouse gases globally.

You can do your part by specifying a water softener on your next job.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM JULIUS BALLANCO

"When reviewing some of the Chapter Annual Reports, I couldn't help but notice a few Chapter officers identifying themselves as CIPEs. As all of you know, CIPE is no longer permitted to be used by anyone.  I would ask all of the Chapters to announce this again to your members. Also, have your Chapter officers stop using the acronym.

ASPE owns the copyright to the term. Therefore, you must receive permission to use the term. However, permission for its use has been withdrawn. Therefore, no one is entitled to use the term."
