Energy and Water Conservation products - The Company's HEAT$AVRŽ product is used in swimming pools and spas. The product forms a thin, transparent layer on the water's surface.

WATER$AVRŽ, a modified version of HEAT$AVRŽ, can be used in reservoirs, potable water storage tanks, livestock watering ponds, canals, and irrigation ditches.
