1 Residential/Commercial Membrane Water Treatment 3-Day Seminar Information Packet

2 Seminar Cost $1, 250 USD (Early Bird Discounts May Apply) Seminar Length 3 day (8 hours per day) Seminar Description This seminar is held at AXEON Water Technologies in Temecula, CA. This is an extraordinary opportunity to see membrane element and reverse osmosis (RO) unit manufacturing all under one roof and to operate and maintain real operating RO units! DHP is not aware of another such opportunity anywhere in the United States. Attendees will leave with a wealth of practical, valuable information on how to startup, operate, maintain and troubleshoot RO systems. Who Should Attend People who should attend this seminar are: Business owners General managers Sales representatives Managers Service technicians/installers Why You Should Attend Even people with 10+ years of experience marvel at how much they learn in a DHP seminar. The reason for this is that DHP continually improves its step-by-step training methodology and seminar materials so that anyone with a typical high school education can thoroughly understand the information presented. You need this seminar if: You need a better understanding of RO systems to better serve your customers Your service technicians/installers need to become more proficient at monitoring, servicing and troubleshooting RO systems You want your sales people to have more tools to increase sales of RO systems You want to grow your residential/commercial RO sales and profit. What You ll Receive 24 hrs of enjoyable, interesting, easy-to-understand hands-on training a highly illustrated workbook break refreshment personal attention: Questions & comments are encouraged
