	Friday Fax A Weekly Summary of Polywater^® News of Incredible Importance

Issue #779

The latest issue of the Technical Talk Newsletter and the Juice Distributor Newsletter were released last week.

The "Technical Talk" issue, which was broadcast via email to 14,047 subscribers, focuses on how Polywater's InstaGrout Sealant Barrier can help improve pad-mount transformer reliability. The newsletter presents the complete story. First it describes the problem: animals such as rodents, snakes and insects burrow into transformers and cause outages by chewing, nesting or earth moving. Then it presents the fix: re-enterable InstaGrout Sealant is mixed onsite and poured into transformer basements, creating an effective and durable barrier to critter intrusions. It offers distinct advantages over alternative methods such as concrete grout and pea gravel.

The "Juice!" newsletter, sent to 6,303 subscribers, introduces new Splice Shield Electrical Sealant to authorized Polywater distributors. It offers a brief overview of the product for busy distributors who can't possibly know all the details for thousands of products and need just the basics. Splice Shield is a far superior alternative to a competitor's environmentally challenged cable and splice protection and repair product banned in 17 states. The newsletter succinctly covers the who, what, where, and why, and has already piqued a good deal of interest.

These newsletters are powerful marketing tools that help spread the word about Polywater's high performance products. Invite all your contacts to subscribe. Share copies liberally on sales calls. Forward the issues to your private mail lists or help us integrate your names into ours.
