Hi all,
I enjoyed the meeting very much and found it to be very informative. It was also good to put names (or in this case login ID) to a face.
I wanted to provide the info mentioned (or requested) by me in the meeting..

1. Ref: Water testing equipment.
. Calibration fluid
. Meters
. pumps, controllers etc....
The company is called SVEN (Sioux Valley Environmental)
www.svenviro.com

or local SF 336-3610
Address 720 E. Benson RD
My contacts name is JR.

Not sure how useful they (SVEN) are to reefers in general but I found the cost of calibration fluid to be very inexpensive.

Small world huh?
If you do speak with her ask her if they ever retire equipment (tech refresh) with any frequency and if so what do they do with the old equipment. I was thinking we may be able to get our hands on some excellent equipment that is outdated for lab usage (outside of our needs) but would be great for us.
Could be something the association owns/shares with group members.
Just thinking...
