This is one of my favorite shows because I always look forward to answering questions from you! My team and I love digging in to gather the BEST answers for you. Thank you for always making these shows such a success by submitting your questions!    

Today we’re going to dive into how do you ensure you have the best result from your sample; what makes a complete service report, what to do if you don’t have any other choice than to take a sample from the boiler sight glass; and what are some of my favorite tools?  

Please join me to hear the answers to your questions, and after listening, if you have a show idea or want to ask me a question, please go to scalinguph2o.com and click the “Submit a Show Idea” at the top of the page. I look forward to hearing from you.
