Green Infrastructure & Water Quality - Eric Rominger with AquaShield
Manage episode 364183353 series 3414068
Episode 010: “If we can get somebody to try our Aqua Shield product, and they see how easy it is to install, and they see how much time that they can save, how much money they can save, we will get a lot of repeat business,” explains Eric Rominger, Vice President of AquaShield, Inc. Aqua Shield is the leading green infrastructure device that has been both verified and certified in the state of New Jersey. Today, Eric joins host Ty to discuss green infrastructure and water quality.
Aqua Shield’s products, the Aqua Swirl and the Aqua Filter work together to filter the most polluted part of the stormwater, that first inch of rain or so, to improve water quality for rivers, streams, and creeks. Instead of being built out of concrete like most water filtration systems, Aqua Shield uses polymer coated steel or high density polyethylene. Another advantage is that these systems are completely customized with a site-specific design and are ready to go directly into the ground the moment they arrive on site. This saves time, energy, and money across the board. Where it really shines in green infrastructure is in evacuating the water from bio swales, which it does with industry leading efficiency.
If you’re looking for a simple, cost-effective, green water quality management solution, take a look at the Aqua Swirl and Aqua Filter products. The team has nearly 50 years of combined experience, not just in the stormwater industry, but in working with one another. That is nearly unheard of in this day and age, and contributes heavily to the overall success and sustainability of the company.
