The product presentation is one of the most exciting, powerful and memorable merchandising tools you have. All the facts you tell clients about the eSpring™ Water Treatment System cannot match the impact of actually seeing the system during performance. A properly executed presentation not only demonstrates the product’s capabilities and answers client questions — it also demonstrates your professionalism as a salesperson. This means it is absolutely essential that every demonstration is properly conducted. So practice your presentations regularly and make sure you follow this checklist for every demonstration.

2 | Amway Demonstration Sheet

• Only use cold water that has been treated by a municipal water supply. NEVER USE HOT WATER!

• Use only the "contaminants” listed in the following instructions. Other materials may damage the unit or pose a potential hazard.

• Filters used in demonstrations may have to be replaced more frequently than normal. This is because contaminant levels in demonstrations are much higher than those encountered in normal operation, which reduces filter life.

• Before each presentation, check the colour and flow rate of the water coming out of the filter. If either is unacceptable, replace the filter.

• Before using a new filter in a demonstration, flush the filter for 5–10 minutes, then let it soak inside the housing for several hours. This ensures the filter will function properly. If this is not done, excess carbon particles may appear in the treated water.

• Units used for demonstrations (except the turbidity demonstration) should not be used for drinking water until a new filter has been installed.

• Do not combine the additives used in demonstrations. This may lead to unsuccessful results and/or shortened filter life.

This eSpring™ demonstration shows you that what you see is not always what you get when it comes to clean, clear, high-quality drinking water.

m A T E R I A L S N E E d E d

• 3 clear glasses

• 1 tbsp. of dirt or soil

• 1 tbsp. of white vinegar

• Tap water


d E m o 1

I N S T R u C T I o N

Prep Time: about 2 mins. Demo Time: about 5–10 mins.

P r e p a r a t i o n :

Fill three clear glasses with tap water. Add dirt or soil to the first glass of water and stir. Add vinegar to the second glass of water and stir. Leave the third glass of water as it is.

d e m o n s t r a t i o n :

1. Hold the dirty glass of water up to the participant and ask if they would drink it. They will decline based on the appearance of the water.

2. Hold the glass of vinegar water up to the participant and ask if it looks like water that they would drink. They will likely say, “Yes.” Then encourage them to smell the contents and ask again whether they would drink the water. They will decline based on its odour.

3. Let the participant examine and smell the glass of plain tap water. Then ask if they would drink the water. They may be hesitant based on Step 2, but they will likely agree that it is drinkable when you reassure them that it is water from a regular kitchen tap.

4. Show the participant the contaminants list on the last page of this demo. Explain to them that these items may be found in plain tap water – hidden from view, smell, and taste.

Just because water looks, smells, or even tastes good to drink doesn't mean that it always is. Even industrialised countries with a good water infrastructure can have issues in which household tap water becomes contaminated by a variety of chemicals and microorganisms. Let the eSpring™ Water Treatment System be a protective barrier against this concern for your household and family.

P R o d u C T I N F o R m A T I o N

The eSpring™ systems are the world’s largest selling brand of home water treatment systems*. It’s been proven that they provide higher or better water quality than tap water. In addition to improving taste, odour and clarity, an eSpring™ system reduces 145 potential health-effect contaminants that may be present in drinking water. No other system is documented to effectively reduce as wide a range of contaminants as eSpring™.

The eSpring™ UV Water Treatment System features carbon-filter technology, which means that both units effectively reduce:

• Lead, mercury, MTBE, and 42 known and/or suspected endocrine disruptors

• More than 140 organic impurities

• 13 disinfection by-products

• Radon and radon decay by-products

• 33 pesticides and pesticide by-products

• 9 pharmaceutical contaminants

• Down to 0.2 microns including asbestos, sediment, dirt and scale

• Waterborne parasites that can cause disease i.e. Giardia, Cryptosporidium

• Suspected cancer causing substances (carcinogens) potentially present in water

And, with improving the quality of water, the eSpringTM UV Water Treatment System does not remove beneficial minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and fluoride.

An eSpringTM Water Treatment System

effectively reduces more than 160 potential

contaminants that may be present in

drinking water, of which 145 are health

effecting contaminants.

Most people easily relate to the taste and odour of chlorine in their water. Therefore, chlorine provides a good demonstration of the eSpring™ Water Treatment System’s ability to effectively remove it from water. If your water contains notable amounts of chlorine, you may use it in the demonstration. If your water contains little or no chlorine, you must add chlorine for the demonstration.

m A T E R I A L S N E E d E d :

• Chlorine Demonstration Tablets (Maybe purchased at your local swimming pool supply store.)

• 6–8 large water glasses

• Small spoon

• Measuring cup

• 1/2 litre container

• 1 bottle of Ortho-tolidine (OTO) solution, or DPD tablets. (Both of these materials are available at swimming pool supply stores.)

CAUTION:

AVOID ACCIDENTAL INGESTION OF OTO OR DPD. THESE MATERIALS MAY

BE HEALTH HAZARDS IF INGESTED. DISPOSE OF THESE TEST SOLUTIONS

IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE AND RINSE THE CONTAINERS.


d E m o 2

I N S T R u C T I o N S :

1. Attach the eSpring™ Water Treatment System to the tap to be tested. Fill a glass with untreated water. Add about 3 drops of the OTO solution, or one DPD tablet. If chlorine is present in the water, OTO will become yellow and DPD will give the water a pink tint. If your water has chlorine in it, set the glass aside and go to Step 7. If no colour develops, you must proceed to Step 2 to add chlorine to the water.

2. Using a measuring cup, add about 300 ml of cold water into the 1/2 litre container. Add Chlorine demonstration tablets and mix.

3. Turn the diverter valve to the treated water setting and flush the system for about 30 seconds.

4. Pour about 25 ml of the chlorine solution into a glass and fill the glass with tap water and set aside. This represents the untreated water.

5. Make sure the water is off and stand the eSpring™ Water Treatment System on end. Remove the pressure vessel cap. Holding the filter to prevent it from falling out, tip the unit and pour the water from the unit.

6. Pour the container of remaining chlorine solution into the pressure vessel.

7. Replace the pressure cap and the housing cap.

8. Turn the System over and stand it on end.

9. Turn the diverter valve to the treated water setting to start water flowing through the system.

10. Fill the unused glasses with the treated water and place them in a row on the counter as they are filled.

11. Add OTO or DPD to the glasses of untreated water to test for chlorine. The untreated water will have colour, indicating chlorine. The treated water will be clear, demonstrating that the chlorine has been removed. This shows that the eSpring™ Water Treatment System removes chlorine to improve the taste and smell of drinking water.

NOTE:

AFTER A FEW MINUTES, DPD MAY DEVELOP A LIGHT PINk COLOUR ALTHOUGH NO CHLORINE IS

PRESENT. THIS IS CAUSED BY COMPOUNDS CALLED CHLORAMINES WHICH MAY OCCUR IN SOME

WATER. THE eSPRING™ WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM REMOVES MOST OF THE CHLORAMINES,

BUT TRACES MAY NOT BE REMOVED. OVER TIME, THESE TRACES MAY CAUSE THE DPD TO

CHANGE COLOUR. TO AVOID CONFUSION ABOUT COLOUR FORMATION, POUR THE SOLUTION

OUT OF THE GLASS AFTER A FEW MINUTES.

Kitchen tap with threaded end adaptable to the eSpringTM Water Treatment System and wood stand

These stands measure 13in (33 cm) height, 14.6 in (37 cm) width, 7.9 in (20 cm) depth.It is important that the position of the tap end, with the diverter attached, allows the treated water to flow into the centre of the tank when it is installed onto the stand.

Looking at the back of the tap and stand, the pump will be connected to the cold water tap connection. The taps cold water handle will need to be open when the pump is running and water is flowing. If there is a hand sprayer attachment, this will need to be detached and the connection plugged. The hot water connection will also need to be plugged.


Treated water flow

Compact submersible centrifugal pump 1/12 HP motor with correct voltage and plugconfiguration for your market.

This pump is a low pressure, high volume centrifugal pump that is used for evaporative coolers, fountains, water gardens, and coolant systems. The example shown here is die-cast aluminium 1/12 HP motor and measures 5.5 in (14 cm) height, 4.5 in (11.4 cm) length, 7.1 in (18 cm) depth.

Connect the water pump to the cold water tap with a piece of tubing. The tubing length must be long enough to connect to the pump when it is inside the water tank or aquarium.

Fluted 6-8 oz (170-227 ml) wine glass

Any long stem wineglass will work as long as it will fit under the diverter while it sits on top of the pump inside the tank.

Red food colouring

Purchased at supermarket.

Completed Demo Set-up

It may be necessary to add more food colouring during the demonstration. The water treatment system will be removing the colour and after time the tank water will lighten and eventually become clear. Make sure that you do not add too much dye because it will reduce the life of the filter.
