  • Pump & Water Treatment Seminar: Success!

    November 7, 2019

    On Wednesday, October 23, 2018 Duff Company hosted a Pump & Water Treatment Seminar at the Holiday Inn in Hightstown, NJ.

    The courses included:

    • Grundfos Pumps – Presenting Solar Pumps, and Commercial Pump Trouble Shooting.
    • Pentair Water – Residential & Commercial Water Treatment
    • Resintech – Iron Removal
    • Amtrol – Tank Sizing 

    We also had a Duff table featuring demonstrations of the Ridgid Pex ProPress machine, which is always a hit.

    The 130 attendees were uniform in their praise:

    “Excellent job, you guys did a great job.  Very well run and organized.  Reminds me of the mini version of how they do it with the Florida Association in Orlando.”

    “The Duff Co. put on a very informative and smooth running program today. It didn’t seem like an all-day affair with the numerous breaks and how the topics were split up.  Great event and holy crap you gave us a ton of food.  Thanks for doing this.”

    Todd J.

    “Duff Co. did an excellent job”

    Peter C.

    “Thanks for putting on a good seminar, very informative!”

    Why did the Water Quality Association recognize the sessions for approved “Seat Time” credit? Because the topics covered; the A-List presenters; the reputation of Duff learning workshops; and the geographic draw for the event. Surely, the included continental breakfast, deli lunch and snacks help.

    Here are the highlights:

    • Residential Water Treatment
    • Commercial Water Treatment
    • Iron Diagnosis & Treatment
    • Solar Pumps
    • Commercial Pump Sizing & Trouble Shooting
    • Well Tank Sizing

    Breakfast, Lunch and Snacks are included.

    The seminar was already approved by the NJ Dep’t of Environmental Protection for pump contractors to earn their continuing education points. That means all attendees will benefit from the diversity that this First-of-its-Kind workshop will present.

  • It’s Coming . . . .

    May 24, 2018

    What began as a brief cleanup of our 746-page compendium, most recently published circa 1991, became a full-blown rewrite of the Duff Catalog, in whole a multi-year project spearheaded by some of our most valuable team members. Introducing: The New Duff Catalog.  (more…)

  • This is an Organization to Watch

    October 1, 2017

    Duff Co. was proud to exhibit and actively participate in the annual Eastern Water Quality Association’s convention this year, held at Bear Creek Mountain Resort. And pride and appreciation are the best words to describe how we feel about being involved with this successful three-day event.

    Duff is and has been a strong backer of the EWQA. A vibrant EWQA benefits not only Duff Co. and its peers, but also the entire community–from residential water treatment dealers, to contractors interested in selling water softeners, to pump service companies, to manufacturers of water treatment components.

    Frequent visitors to this space might think it’s a rerun, but I want to state almost verbatim the words I wrote one year ago, because they once again ring true: The event was a huge hit. The facilities–the hotel rooms, trade show floor area, conference rooms and ballrooms–were immaculate and beautifully adorned; the views of the mountainside were idyllic; attendance and fundraising broke records; and the feedback from other attendees was nothing but stellar. Indeed, universally, people attending the event said it yielded immediate business dividends with new business opportunities. 

    A few members of the Duff team

    In the below picture you can see a glimpse of our booth. What you can’t see is a new product that we displayed this year, the DAB E.SYBOXmini. This simple little pressure booster is receiving rave reviews. This product is the simplest, most idiot-proof pump we’ve seen in a long while.

    Moreover, the E.SYBOXmini guarantees constant pressure (from 15 up to 70 psi) inside the system. It’s suitable for use with drinking water, in domestic systems and gardening applications. The E.SYBOXmini does not requite any additional components for its installation; it really is plug-and-play.

    To learn more about this pump, contact us or read more here.

    “No, Charles, that is not the picture we should use.”

    Of course, we wouldn’t have the chance to talk about our display if it weren’t for the EWQA. The organization is a leading voice for the industry and its professionals. It also provides an excellent forum to learn and train, whether about products, the marketplace, business, or otherwise.

    What’s most exciting is that EWQA is on the move. It’s a growing organization, building on its recent successes to thrive in a changing market. More and more, these days, our customers are demanding high quality water filtration and purification. We are all uniquely situated to fill that void. By banding together on a regional basis, we are poised to lead the conversation in the years ahead.

    For now, however, EWQA is focusing on what’s more immediately in front of us. In the months ahead you’ll hear about a mid-year tradeshow and learning opportunity. And next year, we’re all gearing up for a new location for the annual convention: Kalahari Resort in the Poconos.

  • Facilities Fourth of July

    As we approach the holiday weekend and the Fourth of July–a time when many commercial businesses close–I think it worth recognizing the people that take care of those facilities. Building engineers, mechanics, facilities teams–these are the people that keep commerce running, often hidden out of sight from the users and other employees of these facilities.

    When the faucet isn’t dripping, and the toilet flushes fine and there are no leaks showing on the ceiling tiles, most people don’t think about the facilities people. But when something is wrong, everyone wants to know where they are. “Why is the sink not draining right? It’s been like this almost all morning!”

    So, in recognition of their dedication to maintaining the facilities that we all use, we salute their work. While office workers won’t be in the high-rises on Tuesday,  the water still must be on; hospitals still must be open for patients; and nursing homes must still care for their residents.

    If you’re a facilities person, and you have an emergency after business hours or on a holiday, don’t worry; you’re not alone. Just give us a call!
