April 9, 2010 VRTX Technologies, a water treatment company specializing in chemical-free treatment for cooling towers and evaporative condensers, is now offering its chemical free water treatment service at a price similar to traditional chemical programs. VRTX offers a monthly Full Service Agreement (FSA) that provides all necessary equipment and filtration, regular service and monitoring, and a continuing mechanical warranty. VRTX is the only non-chemical water treatment company that guarantees performance of the system without requiring up-front capital invested by the customer. With a 15-year history of successfully operating systems to build upon, VRTX engineering advances and product evolution, along with increasing sales volume, has positioned the company to supply its patented technology to the Commercial, Institutional, and Light Industrial markets at a monthly cost comparable to traditional chemical treatment methods. “Many customers looking to adopt environmentally-friendly technologies and products believe that the initial cost of those products will be more expensive than the older technology they are currently using,” said David Nicholas, VRTX Chief Executive Officer. “Our new pricing allows customers concerned with environmental stewardship to eliminate the hazards of their traditional chemical water treatment program and reduce potable water consumption by up to 40-percent at about the same monthly cost as a quality chemical program.” “We’re providing the environmental benefits of a non-chemical system, including potable water savings and a reduction in sewer discharge, without significantly increasing a customers’ monthly budget allowance for essential water treatment costs.” It is estimated there are over 400,000 cooling towers already installed in the United States alone. Cooling towers and evaporative condensers are a major source of water consumption in a building, with more than 50% of non-agricultural water use in the United States being attributed to evaporative cooling. With water supplies reaching crisis levels around the globe, customers and end-users are already experiencing increased water costs and effluent restrictions. These customers are driving the market to find a sustainable and economical treatment alternative that controls scale, corrosion and bacteria. VRTX Technologies, a Schertz, Texas-based fluid technology company, specializes in environmentally-friendly chemical free treatment of water used in cooling towers and evaporative condensers. The VRTX system relies on kinetic energy, hydrodynamic cavitation, and chemical equilibrium to control scale, corrosion, and bio-fouling without the hazards of chemical treatment. VRTX also minimizes corrosion and microbiological growth, reduces system operating costs, and conserves water and energy.
