What are EWQA members saying?
“My membership and association with EWQA has been very valuable to me and my business. Through attending the EWQA conferences, we have been able to keep up on current regulatory issues that impact our industry, get education for our service technicians, learn about new treatment technologies and obtain & maintain WQA certifications. I have also been able to form relationships with vendors and other dealers who are always willing to share their knowledge and experience. As a current board member, I am very excited about the direction the association is taking and the added value we will be bringing to our members in the future. Joining EWQA and getting involved is one of the best things you can do to stay connected and grow your business. I encourage you to take the leap and give it a try.”

“Through being an EWQA member, I secured service and installation work in my area for a national company. As jobs came up that were slightly out of my area, I got two other EWQA members involved with the same account. Knowing the members gave me the confidence to refer them, and being EWQA members showed me they were serious about the water treatment industry.”
