What we found after considerable digging was quite interesting - unless a pool is used for tactical training on base, it is managed under each of the military services Morale, Welfare &amp; Recreation departments (MWR). For the Army &amp; Navy, it is MWR. For the Air Force, it is Air Force Services. For the Marines, it is Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS).\r\n\r\nVirtually all improvements to military pools are paid for with non-appropriated funds (NAF). This is money that is generated by each base from MWR fees earned by the base for services they provide. NAF contracts do not show up in the usual Government invitation to bid schedules because the money paid out is from “non appropriated funds”. This means that a decision to go solar is made by the base and not by the federal Government.\r\n\r\nWhile we were digging, we managed to put together a pretty <strong>comprehensive list of over 100 military bases</strong> that have pools and contact information. In some cases, we were able to find out if these pools were indoor or outdoor and if they are already heated.

What we found after considerable digging was quite interesting - unless a pool is used for tactical training on base, it is managed under each of the military services Morale, Welfare &amp; Recreation departments (MWR). For the Army &amp; Navy, it is MWR. For the Air Force, it is Air Force Services. For the Marines, it is Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS).\n\nVirtually all improvements to military pools are paid for with non-appropriated funds (NAF). This is money that is generated by each base from MWR fees earned by the base for services they provide. NAF contracts do not show up in the usual Government invitation to bid schedules because the money paid out is from “non appropriated funds”. This means that a decision to go solar is made by the base and not by the federal Government.\n\nWhile we were digging, we managed to put together a pretty <strong>comprehensive list of over 100 military bases</strong> that have pools and contact information. In some cases, we were able to find out if these pools were indoor or outdoor and if they are already heated. Give Molly a call if you would like a list of the bases in your area.\n\n<strong>Aquatherm Joins the World Waterpark Association</strong>\n\nAquatherm is excited to announce that we have joined the World Waterpark Association.

You may know them by the name Groupon, BloomSpot, Kgbdeals, Living Social, Daily Deals, Groop Swoop, or Buckaroo. The concept is simple - it’s a “daily deal” site that offers deep discounts, 50% – 90% off, on services and products. Overall, it brings buyers and sellers together in a fun way using the internet and social media.\r\n\r\nThere are 50 million Groupon subscribers alone with more than 22 million Groupons sold in over 400 markets across the country. The first national Groupon was for the Gap; it offered a $50 gift card for $25. It crashed the site within the first hour… not before I bought one though! It’s been a national sensation ever since. That got us thinking, could Groupon work for you?\r\n\r\nAquatherm offers a $200 coupon on our website that you already honor, right? What about taking that offer to a larger group of potential customers and getting paid for it? Groupon would allow you to offer the homeowner a specific discount off the purchase of a solar system for their home. Only truly interested homeowners would purchase the deal. What does that mean to you? A lead worth gold! You get a copy of all of the homeowners that purchased the deal - a truly easy shopping list of qualified leads.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_295\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\" caption=\"An example of a Sacramento PV installer offering a $49 Groupon good toward $1,000 off an installed system.\"]<a href=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Capture.png\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-295\" title=\"Groupon\" src=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Capture-300x180.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /></a>[/caption]\r\n\r\nAnd it’s free to you, the business owner to post a Groupon. You are helped by a Groupon representative to create witty write-ups using a bright design and a huge click to buy button to entice the buyers. Your Groupon would only be shown to subscribers in your market, and a \"time left to buy\" countdown creates a sense of urgency in potential buyers. What’s the catch? It is simple - Groupon takes 50% of each purchased deal.\r\n\r\nFor Example: Say you offer $250 off of a Solar Pool Heating System for $50. For every 10 Groupons you sell, Groupon takes $250 and you make $250. When a customer turns in their Groupon, their $250 discount only costs you $225! Not to mention some Groupon purchasers that may never turn theirs in – in that case, you get to keep the $25.\r\n\r\nTo learn more about how you can take advantage of Groupon in your market call me at 732-905-9002 ext 226 or visit <a href=\"http://www.grouponworks.com/\">http://www.grouponworks.com/</a>.

It was an hour long ride full of thrills with time spent on the open water, up close views of “Millionaires Row” the homes of the rich and famous, and a stunning sunset to complete the trip. We ended the week with a farewell dinner at Larios on the Beach, a restaurant owned by Gloria Estefan. What a fitting end to a great time!\r\n\r\nJuly was hot, and so were the sales numbers!

What a fantastic month for Mark and his team! Coming in 2<sup>nd</sup> with 181 collectors and 20 sales is <strong>Terry Naylor</strong> of <strong>Naylor Solar Specialists</strong>. It’s tough to sell solar in over 100 degree weather, way to go Terry! And, in 3<sup>rd</sup> is <strong>Brandon Chase</strong> from <strong>SunChaser, Inc</strong> with 128 panels and 18 sales. Congratulations Brandon for a job well done.  <strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Just a reminder that Aquatherm’s annual production shut-down will occur next week beginning on Monday, August 29. During this time there will be no production or shipping. The office will be open during normal business hours. </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>The office will be closed on Monday, September 5 in observance of Labor Day.</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\nI hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday as we look forward to getting our fall season underway.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\nA bit of sad news – Gerry Kilgore’s Dad passed away last week. Gerry and Connie, you’re in our thoughts and prayers.  Our sympathies as well to Reed Wilson and his family for the loss of Reed’s mother earlier this week.\r\n\r\nLastly, thank you to those who participated in the “PPP Contest”.

A big thank you to Dan who put his head down for two weeks and created a new sales presentation that is modern and includes all the updated certifications, graphs and product information.\r\n\r\nWe will be rolling this out at ASES this week and then with webinars. Be sure to check the portal and your email for more information.  The Bounty Hunter Program ended on the 30th of April. I know of at least six free panels for all of you out there. There is still some missing paperwork out there!  You have until the end of business Tuesday, May 17th to turn in all the necessary documentation.  Don\'t delay and miss out on the opportunity for some free panels.\r\n\r\nAs we all know the SRCC website has been difficult to navigate when trying to find brand specific information (i.e. Ecosun or Solar Industries). Aquatherm requested that changes be made to make the website to be more user friendly. Based on our request, SRCC has <a href=\"http://securedb.fsec.ucf.edu/srcc/collector_search?action=search&amp;msrcc_id=&amp;mstatus=A&amp;moptic_type=0&amp;mstart_date=&amp;mend_date=&amp;results_per_page=400&amp;submit=Summary\" target=\"_blank\">updated their website </a>to allow you to search by Company or Brand name. I have included the link below for you to share with your staff and customers.\r\n\r\nNow let\'s see the numbers for April. Congratulations to <strong>Mark Naylor Solar Specialists</strong> who dominated the top dealer spot with 343 collectors sold for April. Keep up the great work Mark! <strong>Stilwell Solar</strong> came in 2nd with 252 collectors - nice job to Bill and his team!

 <strong>Bill Long from Stilwell Solar</strong> is 2nd with 16 sales for January.  <strong>Scott Bologna from Stilwell Solar</strong> claims the #3 spot for the month with 14 sales.  Great job Scott and Bill, that is 30 total for Stilwell for the month!','January 2011 Sales Memo','','inherit','open','open','','319-revision','','','2011-08-24 14:31:14','2011-08-24 14:31:14','',319,'http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/?p=320',0,'revision','',0),(322,3,'2011-08-30 15:36:50','2011-08-30 15:36:50','','Header Clamp Assembly 2.0','\"The new streamlined design will help keep both our costs down while giving you a stronger clamp that’s easier to assemble while on the roof.\"','inherit','open','open','','untitled','','','2011-08-30 15:36:50','2011-08-30 15:36:50','',321,'http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/header-clamp-assembly.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(323,3,'2011-08-30 15:32:56','2011-08-30 15:32:56','The 10117-1 Outlet Header Clamps are back in stock and backorders have already begun shipping.

Well soon, there will be no need to have to defend against that.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_328\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\" caption=\"Click to view larger\"]<a href=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/30340-1-Revised.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-328 \" title=\"30340-1 - Sheet1\" src=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/30340-1-Revised-300x231.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" /></a>[/caption]\r\n\r\nWe think that we’ve come up with the best of both worlds – a plastic base and cover that incorporate our stainless steel brackets. In fact, it’s such a unique idea that we’ve applied for a patent on it.\r\n\r\nThe base of each cover is hollowed out and provides a larger area for sealant. When closed, the cover protects the sealant from the sun and elements while making for a more aesthetically pleasing installation.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_329\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\" caption=\"Click to view larger\"]<a href=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/30340-2-Revised.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-329 \" title=\"30340-2 - Sheet1\" src=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/30340-2-Revised-300x231.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" /></a>[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe cover for the Outlet Header Bracket is also designed to accept our Aluminum Outlet Header Clamps as well.\r\n\r\nThe tooling has been ordered and we expect to begin in-house production by the end of October.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','New Patent-Pending Mounting Accessory','','inherit','open','open','','327-revision-11','','','2011-08-30 16:30:56','2011-08-30 16:30:56','',327,'http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/?p=345',0,'revision','',0),(346,3,'2011-08-30 16:12:20','2011-08-30 16:12:20','The 10117-1 Outlet Header Clamps are back in stock and backorders have already begun shipping.

It all started at the ASES Convention in Raleigh last May when we shared our booth with Tom Lane who was selling copies of his book.

Again, look for availability later this fall and the redesigned 2” version next year.\r\n\r\nSince their debut two months ago, the 2” molded dual-durometer Collector Connector Hoses, pt. no. 60690-2 are off to a successful introduction. To that end, we’ve already began prototype tool development for the 2” molded System Connector Hose.

Five days after Irene came up the east coast in August, Richard received a call that a solar pool heater he had installed several years earlier had <strong>“exploded.”</strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Click on the photos to enlarge.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/P1010006.jpg\"><img src=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/P1010006-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a> <a href=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/P1010003.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-427\" title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" src=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/P1010003-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a></strong><strong> <a href=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/P1010004.jpg\"><img src=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/P1010004-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a></strong>\r\n\r\nHe gave us a call with the particulars:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>The pool has a one hp pump; Heliotrope control and valve and a Pentair salt system. The filter pump had been turned off since Irene because the pool was full of debris.</li>\r\n	<li>This damage happened in the early morning, the air temperature was around 60 and any isolation valves were open.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWe were all stumped, but we had a theory, so we turned to our old friend Barry Brunye’, formerly of Goldline/Hayward. His one-line response...\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>“Hydrogen go boom!”</strong></p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/P1010016.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-426\" title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" src=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/P1010016-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" /></a>Here’s his explanation; remember the filter pump had to be turned off because of debris in the pool, but look at the picture of the cell control to the right – the lights are on. It seems the builder had wired the cell to the line, not the load side of the time clock, so the cell had power all the time. The flow switch had jammed open with debris from the storm. With the pump turned off, electrolysis from the cell began to break the water in the lines into its two components – water and hydrogen. The hydrogen (being lighter than air) rose up into the collectors for <strong>five straight days</strong>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/P1010005.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-432 alignleft\" title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" src=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/P1010005-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a>The hydrogen built up some pressure because it had nowhere to go after filling the collectors. Eventually it forced the water in the filter lines back into the pool and when the blades in the cell became exposed, the cell either over-heated or shorted <strong>igniting the hydrogen</strong>. A piece of one of the fittings even tore a hole through the side of a neighbor’s house 20 feet away!\r\n\r\n<strong>Though two things had to go terribly wrong</strong> like an incorrectly wired cell and a jammed flow switch, it was a place for the gas to accumulate like the collectors that made the difference. While the odds of this “perfect storm” happening again may be slim, you’d be wise to check the wiring next time you install a solar system on a pool with a chlorine generator.\r\n\r\nSince the siding is still being repaired, Richard hasn’t been able to fire the collectors back up, but we’re really curious to see if they were damaged or absorbed the shock.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','\"Hydrogen go boom!\"','','publish','open','open','','hydrogen-go-boom','','','2011-09-22 16:52:51','2011-09-22 16:52:51','',0,'http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/?p=420',0,'post','',2),(408,3,'2011-09-14 20:25:34','2011-09-14 20:25:34','','Solar Industries Sales Presentation Rev 8.2011','','inherit','open','open','','solar-industries-sales-presentation-rev-8-2011','','','2011-09-14 20:25:34','2011-09-14 20:25:34','',0,'http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Solar-Industries-Sales-Presentation-Rev-8.2011.pdf',0,'attachment','application/pdf',0),(409,3,'2011-08-23 15:01:54','2011-08-23 15:01:54','[cincopa AUDAosK2TsFZ]\r\n\r\nPresented by:  Molly Friar, Aquatherm Sales &amp;

Five days after Irene came up the east coast in August, Richard received a call that a solar pool heater he had installed several years earlier had “exploded.” He gave us a call with the particulars:\n\nThe pool has a one hp pump; Heliotrope control and valve and a Pentair salt system. The filter pump had been turned off since Irene because the pool was full of debris.\n\nThis damage happened in the early morning, the air temperature was around 60 and any isolation valves were open.\n\nWe were all stumped, but we had a theory, so we turned to our old friend Barry Brunye’, formerly of Goldline / Hayward. His one-line response – “hydrogen go boom!”\n\nHere’s his explanation; remember the filter pump had to be turned off because of debris in the pool, but look at the picture of the cell control – the lights are on. It seems the builder had wired the cell to the line, not the load side of the time clock, so the cell had power all the time. The flow switch had jammed open with debris from the storm. With the pump turned off, electrolysis from the cell began to break the water in the lines into its two components – water and hydrogen. The hydrogen being lighter than air rose up into the collectors for five straight days.\n\nThe hydrogen, now building up some pressure because it had nowhere to go after filling the collectors, eventually forced the water in the filter lines back into the pool and when the blades in the cell became exposed, the cell either over-heated or shorted igniting the hydrogen. A piece of one of the fittings even tore a hole through the side of a neighbor’s house 20 feet away!\n\nThough two things had to go terribly wrong like an incorrectly wired cell and a jammed flow switch, it was a place for the gas to accumulate like the collectors that made the difference. While the odds of this “perfect storm” happening again may be slim, you’d be wise to check the wiring next time you install a solar system on a pool with a chlorine generator.\n\nSince the siding is still being repaired, Richard hasn’t been able to fire the collectors back up, but we’re really curious to see if they were damaged or absorbed the shock.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;','','','inherit','open','open','','420-revision','','','2011-09-22 14:08:31','2011-09-22 14:08:31','',420,'http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/?p=421',0,'revision','',0),(422,3,'2011-09-22 15:20:41','2011-09-22 15:20:41','This unique service call comes to us from Richard Good in Virginia Beach and provides a lesson learned for all of us.

In Florida though, some Chamber of Commerce weather during the first quarter drove sales up 40% over the same period last year. So despite fears of $5.00 a gallon gas, nuclear fallout, political unrest and a stagnant housing market, consumers seem to be shaking off the economic woes of the last few years.\r\n\r\nWith that said, I’ve spent much of the last month speaking with many of you in person or on the phone. Some of what I’ve seen and heard is indicating that the solar pool heating market is actually contracting instead of growing. We constantly monitor ours, as well as our competitors’ websites for traffic. In some cases, visitors are off as much as 80% from last year.\r\n\r\nWe all know that our products need to be marketed and both of our main competitors seemed to have lost some focus in solar pool heating. Fafco is still heavily pushing their unglazed SDHW unit. I was in attendance at last fall’s Solar Power International in Los Angeles when Freeman gave a presentation saying the future of solar thermal in this country was going to be SDHW in big box stores. UMA / Helicol is going around the country setting up distributorships to handle solar electric systems, SDHW products as well as their solar pool heating products.\r\n\r\nWhile Aquatherm participates in number of non-solar pool heating markets, they are what I call “at an arm’s length” OEM level. Our main focus has always and continues to be residential and commercial solar pool heating markets. I view all of this as an opportunity – a moment in time to build presence and market share just not for ourselves, but for our entire distribution and dealer network.\r\n\r\nDave Sizelove, President\r\n\r\nA “P.S.” nugget – I was training a new salesman last week when he asked me “how is the Helicol product made in one piece?” “It isn’t” I said, “but their literature says it is”, he replied. I guess a mistake I often make, is that like most of you, we have the curse of knowledge. I know it isn’t and can’t possible be made in one piece, but he didn’t know that and point made… neither does your customer. I went on to explain that each one foot section has 40 individual tubes and with headers that are molded over them, then each one foot section is thermally butt-welded to the next. That means a four foot collector has a total of <strong>168 separate components with 320 individual tube connections, six thermal butt welds and four o-ring connections!</strong> And a SunStar collector has ten thermal welds including the four end square-to-round adapters.\r\n\r\nIt’s good to get out of the office.','The Buck Stops Here ','','inherit','open','open','','66-revision-7','','','2011-04-14 16:41:42','2011-04-14 16:41:42','',66,'http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/?p=501',0,'revision','',0),(502,4,'2011-11-14 22:01:45','2011-11-14 22:01:45','This is an update to my recent <a title=\"The Buck Stops Here\" href=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/?p=479\">\"Buck Stops Here\" posting</a>.\r\n\r\nSenator Menendez’s “Solar Manufacturing Jobs Creation Act” was assigned a number today - <strong>S.1858</strong> and it has been referred to the Senate Finance Committee as expected.\r\n\r\nThanks to Brent Gunderson who has already gotten on the horn, Senator Merkley from Oregon (who was the co-sponsor of the solar bill last session) will support it as well.

What\'s a QR code? Its technical term is Quick Response code and was first used in the automotive industry to track vehicles during the manufacturing process. More recently, it has gained more mainstream acceptance thanks to the increased popularity of smart phones and its compact size.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Commercial-QR.png\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-513\" title=\"Commercial QR\" src=\"http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Commercial-QR-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" /></a>You can see an example of one here - this one happens to take you to our new commercial survey form (more on that later).\r\n\r\nThe codes are now being used over a much wider range of applications, including entertainment, airline ticketing, product marketing and in-store product labeling. A quick Google search will turn up plenty of free sites that allow you to create your own QR code (<a href=\"http://www.qrstuff.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.qrstuff.com</a> is quite user friendly). Once there, you can create a code that will take interested prospects to any page on your website, display your contact information, show a video or take them to a form to fill out to be contacted. Most sites offer analytics with a paid subscription for keeping track of \"scans\" in real-time.\r\n\r\nThere are infinite possibilities not only what can be in the QR code but also where you can put one. It can be put on any literature, the back of a business card, your trucks, or even on a t-shirt. I am sure that you can all find an ingenious way to use them in your business.\r\n\r\nAquatherm has completed a new online version of our commercial survey form - you can see it right now by scanning the QR code above from your phone or by visiting the back-door page at <a href=\"http://aquathermindustries.com/survey\" target=\"_blank\">aquathermindustries.com/survey</a>. In addition to providing us with the technical information necessary to help size your system, we are also able run a DOE RSPEC program simulation of any project you are bidding. Just fill out the form, click submit, and we will email you the results. Please fill out the form as completely as possible to get the most accurate results.\r\n\r\nLastly, before we get to the October numbers, Dave, Dan, and I will be calling on as many of you as possible in the coming weeks in an attempt to identify some current trends in the commercial pool market and strengthen our marketing efforts in that sector. I\'ve listed several of the questions below so you can start giving them some thought.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>What percentage of your jobs are commercial versus      residential year-to-date? For last year?</li>\r\n	<li>Of the commercial jobs you have bid/received, how      are they finding you?</li>\r\n	<li>Number one reason these owner/operators considered      solar?</li>\r\n	<li>What type of commercial jobs are you bidding, such      as water parks, city pools, hotels, schools?</li>\r\n	<li>Do you see the number of commercial opportunities      increasing, decreasing or staying the same?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWe\'ll be presenting the results at our upcoming Annual Master Dealer Kick-off Meetings.\r\n\r\nCongratulations to <strong>Stilwell Solar, FL</strong> who takes the top spot in October with 301 collectors! Congrats to Bill and his team! <strong>Mark Naylor Solar Specialists, CA</strong> came in second with 182 collectors for October, and coming in with a 3rd place finish is <strong>Central Florida Solar, FL</strong> with 98 collectors. Nice job Bill - if you can sell just another 138 collectors this year, you\'ll start the new year a Gold Dealer!\r\n\r\nThe Top Salesman spot goes to <strong>Bill Long</strong> from Stilwell Solar with 27 sales for the month. Outstanding job Bill! In a very close 2nd place spot is <strong>Mark Naylor</strong> from Mark Naylor Solar Specialists with 26 sales in October - great job Mark! <strong>Scott Bologna</strong> from Stilwell Solar had 16 sales for an overall 3rd place finish for September.\r\n\r\nIn another new show for us this year, Aquatherm will be exhibiting at the <strong>Athletic Business Conference</strong> December 1 - 2nd in Orlando. This show attracts thousands of pool owners and operators for military bases, health and fitness clubs, colleges and universities, wellness centers and private sports/recreation centers.\r\n\r\nMay you all have a wonderful holiday with your friends and family and our best to you and yours!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','October 2011 Sales Memo','','publish','open','open','','510','','','2011-12-14 20:23:22','2011-12-14 20:23:22','',0,'http://www.aquathermindustries.com/portal/news/?p=510',0,'post','',0),(509,3,'2011-11-29 15:39:05','2011-11-29 15:39:05','Pat recently got me an iPad for my birthday and I love it. When I’m home at night it rarely leaves my side. It’s the newspapers I read, the book I’m reading, as well as the ones I’ve read and my connection to the world through the internet, email and social networking – even the TV shows I’ve missed; all in my hand. Another use for it when I have an idle moment is traveling the world with Google Earth. What do I look for you ask – same thing as you do of course… pools!\n\nOne night I decided to take a “trip” to my brother’s house in Florida. We were close growing up, enjoying sailing and fishing together and when he moved to Cape Coral from New Jersey 23 years ago, I thought that I would hardly ever get see him. Funny how things turn out - I think over the last 23 years, I’ve spent just as many nights staying with him when I visit southwest Florida as I have in hotel rooms elsewhere.\n\nI easily located his house by the eight west facing collectors. As I zoomed out, I pretty much saw what I expected - a lot of houses with a lot of pools. But it seemed a lot of the houses with perfectly good roofs didn’t have any collectors. So I started to count; first the houses with pools on his street – 66. Then I went back just counting houses with pool collectors – 22. Wow, I thought – a nearly perfect example of the age-old rule of market saturation, which says generally the most folks you’ll ever get to buy a product they can use are 35 – 40%. That adage also tends to hold true for markets with at least three competitors – rarely does one have more than a 35 - 40% market share.\n\nThen I turned my attention to my neighborhood here in New Jersey. Within a half-mile I counted 100 pools – how many with solar you ask? One. I kept zooming out, counting the new pools as well as solar heaters I could find. I stopped at a little over a mile when I hit 500 pools – and how many solar heaters? Five. Now that’s a long way from the rule of market saturation.\n<div>\n\nThe point is that with today’s technology, it’s easier than ever to apply the age-old number one rule of successfully marketing solar pool heating systems – know your market.\n\nLastly, make sure to check-out the Products News and Updates section of the AI Network.
