Welcome to the PAX Water Technologies' Web Log! Four years ago, we entered the water industry with a new approach to product development: biomimicry. Biomimicry is the process of studying natural systems and adapting Nature's best designs to solve engineering challenges. We saw a great fit with the water industry: Nature has been transporting, treating and distributing water since the formation of the planet. And over all those millions of years Nature has developed some ingenious ways of improving process efficiency and saving energy.

In late 2007 we released our first product - the PAX Water Mixer. The PAX Water Mixer was aimed at a specific problem within the distribution system: stratification and poor mixing in potable water storage tanks and reservoirs. Unlike lakes and ponds in nature, which are open to the atmosphere and stirred by the wind, potable water in the distribution system is stored in tanks and reservoirs that are sealed.

The PAX Water Mixer uses a unique impeller, designed with our patented technology, to create complete circulation and mixing of treated water. Not only does this eliminate stratification and reduce water age, but we have found that disinfectant residual levels remain higher, disinfection by-product (DBP) production drops, and interior conditions are better in tanks that are actively mixed with our product. Today over 80 municipalities in 22 states in the United States and Canada have "gotten active" with PAX Water Mixers in their tanks.

In the coming weeks we will use this forum to tell the world about our latest results and our progress bringing active mixing to the water industry. We will also host interviews with our customers and leaders in the water industry.

Stay tuned for more!
