Super Micro Greens has been in using the ESP System in our automatic watering system. Watering is a part of our production system. We developed a testing protocol and ran side by side controls with all tests. Our initial tests showed no adverse effects on the produce growth and yields. After this success we moved on to larger trials and so far, have had great results. Super Micro Greens primary purpose for these tests was to assess the effects on lime and calcium scale in trays and plumbing systems. We performed a quick in maintenance cycle cleaning and compared our control platters vs the ESP System platter. The ESP platers was cleaned faster and with less physical effort. For a savings of approximately 25% or more in labor costs based on initial limited data set. We noticed plumbing systems stayed cleaner and had less visible build up and residue. The ESP treated water was added to a reservoir physically disconnected from the ESP System. We saw existing lime and calcium scales in this system break up and come off of platters. When a normal cleaning cycle was performed the labor was reduced by approximately 80% based on initial limited data set. In conclusion, if the ESP System reduced our labor by as little as 10%, I would recommend it. Any facility dealing with water at volume is going to be dealing with maintenance costs associated. Based on our initial trials I am projecting a labor reduction in overall maintenance costs by 50% or more and we may be able to reduce the frequency of cleaning cycles for an additional savings.
Jesse Hershberger: COO
We have been in using the ESP System in our automatic watering system that we use to grow microgreens. Our water supply comes straight from the municipal water supply and does not have a pre filter. Simply said the ESP System has not only kept our newer platters from getting the elbow busting build up from forming, with our general rinse outs and a simple scrub, but it started to break apart some of the pre-existing build up on older platters. By keeping the build up from forming we are able to greatly reduce our labor in this area and focus it back towards the plants and new ways to better our industry.

U4iK Gardens LLP - Testing Cycle April 26 - July 18, 2018 Water Retention/Water Reduction The CWS ESP System is so efficient that your plants will thank you for it, so will your wallet to pay the water company. HL RSO is the most efficient product WASTE WATER RATIOS in the industry. CWS ESP can customize your own system to your standards and needs regarding water, soil and insect issues. I have my Standards so overall in the last 4 months using CWS ESP from the first day I started using it, I had to adjust my formula for my fertilizer the first watering of my entire operation. My number one goal was to cut costs on Fertilizer and Water usage. The bonus of saving the usage of water and fertilizer is to maximize your growth rate. Overall, you will see Healthier, Sturdier Branches to hold up those plump juicy flowers of yours with 10% more yield not guaranteed by CWS ESP since this is 100% grower's responsibility not to burn up your plants by over fertilizing. The Fertilizer I use is 5% Organic/5% Mineral Based. My first watering I took a 35-gal recipe, to a 25-gal recipe for 35-gal of water. The more I used this system, the more benefits I found to be more useful. I have seen less salt build up around the base of the pots and trays. I found out that I do not need to use any detergents, only this water. the best bonus of this system, it allows you to drink the water not like other filter companies. The benefits out way everything this machine has to offer also can outperform any filtration system on the market. There is unlimited water per day that your water pipe can handle. I have Used HL RSO, Sediment and Carbon filters that take out certain harmful chemicals. Since I get to take certain harmful chemicals out of my water which helps the Cannabis Plant uptake the nutrients faster and easier for the tissues to absorb resulting in a very healthy plant. All varieties yield differently. I stand behind CWS ESP 100%! No one can take my knowledge, skills, and years of experience away from me and tell me that this machine doesn't work. You will get this technology, or you won't. If you like high priced fertilizer and high-water bills keep on keeping on. Because we all grow differently so 101 factors come into play to cut your cost not mine. If any company says within one week, they haven't seen one thing different I will call them out. Since I'm trying everything to discredit the ability of this machine. I have not found one thing wrong nor one thing it can't do. All it does every day is to help you not work against you. I did not look for this machine, this machine found its way to me from a random phone call, which led to some of the best water on the planet. My last word is going to be a Challenge to try CWS ESP and if you find one thing wrong with it, I'll be amazed
Frank Zamazal, Golf course Superintendent Agronomist, Enhanced Organics, LLC
During my 18-year career as a golf course superintendent, I installed four ESP water conditioning systems, in four geographically different locations: coastal, desert, altitude, and Mediterranean climates. In all four cases, the installation proved to be a game changer, whereby irrigation performance was improved with reduced surface tension, water use was lowered due to improved efficiency, and turfgrass quality was superlative from te beginning to the end of every season. Moreover, at all four locations, my water source and its quality were never similar from recycled water, high bicarbonate well water, potable, to ultrapure snow melt. In all four locations, I was able to tweak the water with the negatively charged frequencies, so the hydrogen bonding in the water source was broken and water was better able to flow freely form turf to soil. For the price of a new grinder and cost to power a light bulb, you can make a dramatic impact on your entire golf course with a maintenance free ESP unit. I have found it to be a worthwhile tool for water management. I am glad to help with a testimonial so that others may understand from a user how the unit actually works. Surface tension relief seems to be the immediate benefit, and, with that, water savings ends up as the long-term benefit. I can honestly tell you that turf yields improve as I have seen it work in a desert over-seeding scenario. As water becomes more scarce, it will be this unit that make irrigation more efficient. Thank you again for your services.

"After installing the ESP System, people quickly commented on the quality of the turf." Old Collier Golf Club also purchased an ESP System to successfully eliminate zebra mussels.

"Through reduction in surface tension, I have seen a positive impact in controlling localized dry spots on my pure sand soils, resulting in reduced water usage and increased overall turf health."

Pumps ran smother less cavitation on startup, motors were cooler, amps were down
We saw a lot of scale and rust come out of the pipes when we went onto lines for the first time, it involved more flushing than previously but once it cleared out, we didn't have any orange snow and "skid marks" while we were making.
In closing we really like what the Box did for us (obviously we bought one) we have discontinued use of Snow Max for a variety of reasons. We really feel that the Box is much more cost-effective method of increasing snow production, helping to maintain our equipment and it may keep power consumption down

Lars, I have been busy as ever lately, but I think about you almost every day. The "magic" water still continues surprising me with added benefits. We expected the water to actually taste better, that was the primary reason we installed the system. Consequently, the Fresh Lemonade, Iced Tea, and Coffee get compliments for taste. Greensboro's water system is average at best, often in the past our old location, we would see, taste and smell variation in water. One time I was told the orange in the water was magnesium and it was, Okay?. We don't miss our old neighborhood and infrastructure in that regard. However, our new location (with a ten-year-old building) still gets the same Greensboro water. Knowing what will come out of the tap consistently in Greensboro is worth something. Even the refrigeration service man volunteered that the ice cubes were "really clear". He commented on the lack of build up inside the ice machines. Typically, our ice machine is under the microscope with the health department, they are breeding grounds for bacteria and mildew. After 6 months, no sign of build up, we're keeping our fingers crossed to see ow long until the growth starts. In the past, we have had to dispose of functioning ice machines because of growth inside that was unreachable, and thus un-cleanable. We have a history of out lasting equipment that is supposed to out-last the establishment (ice machines and hoods in particular). Immediately after installing the filtration system, we had to get the dishwasher technician to come adjust the settings. The High Temperature Machine adjusts the soap automatically, but the rinse agent is set. He turned it to its minimum setting. Apparently, most of what we were "rinsing" off was the stuff in the city water. The results do speak for themselves, we have the cleanest glasses any one on our crew has ever seen in a restaurant. We were spending real time everyday polishing wine glasses. No one has polished a glass in months, and they don't miss it. It is the time that we are saving every day that came as the biggest surprise from filtering the water. We now use hot water out of the tap to cook, formerly taboo, a big savings in time making soups. Soups have been selling well during this cold winter. We spent the money on the filtration because we wanted a better product(s). With the time savings we will recover our monetary investment in a couple of years and that's a great bonus. Didn't expect to save money, these days it feels especially rewarding. Obviously, I'm tickled with the system and am looking forward to putting another system in the next place. We are close to signing on a new deal, I'll be in touch.
