When I first started with ECOsmarte, I had no idea how "green" they were. In fact when I first started with the company, I was just finding out about the whole house filtration systems - having been caught up with the amazing pool/spa systems at first. Believe me, folks, there is an environmentally friendly solution to clean water in your home.
I am the only "water" person in my Green Building Council of Ventura group, the only one! ECOsmarte is virtually the only water company that replaces your water softener - certainly the only one to do so guaranteeing satisfaction with a water hardness measurement of 25 grains and under. Here is what we do for the environment:
1. No brine discharge from your water softener, which translates into no chlorides going into the environment.
2. No water waste, as in reverse osmosis, where approximately 3 gallons of water is wasted for every gallon produced.
3. No hard water deposits, eliminating the need for the really caustic and toxic chemicals that remove scaling.
4. Maximum effectiveness of soaps and detergents (just like softened water), eliminating the need for excessive use.
5. No landfill waste of mineral sludge, filters or resin exchange pellets - ECOsmarte uses none of those.
6. Non-toxic back wash - even the backwash from an ECOsmarte system is non-toxic and can be used for supplemental irrigation which saves even more water.
7. No monthly servicing, so forget all the gasoline used by the service people and the carbon emissions from those trucks - not a part of the picture with ECOsmarte.
And this is just for the home systems!! Later today I will be sure to provide you with a list for our pool systems as well. And there are some way cool things we do for the planet with our pools. ECOsmarte is proud to do our part for the Planet.
Happy Earth Day everyone!!
