February Updates from MPR Supply

Use the Off-Season to Invest in Your Team

In this tight labor market, you can’t afford to skimp on employee education. Use the off-season to invest in your team. You’ll enjoy increased productivity, reduced errors and higher retention all year.

Make the most of winter training by:
  1. Tracking where you need “better ways”. Review your call-backs, time-wasters and communication breakdowns. Address these proactively in your training meetings.
  2. Getting hands-on. Practical training involves not just listening or watching, but also doing. A good trainer can make this happen, even indoors.
  3. Making it fun. Use contests, teamwork and discussion to keep participants engaged. Use real-world examples in problem-solving challenges.
  4. Developing your “seconds in command”. Prepare your organization for growth and free up your time as owner by growing the skills and capabilities of your middle managers and crew leaders.
  5. Using all of the resources available. Hands on classes, insightful videos and on-line seminars provide knowledge that is easy to absorb and understand. Ask us for free and low-cost options.

Spring Start-Ups Made Easy with the Zurn 300 Series

Spring is right around the corner! It's time to start learning about products that can make start-up easier. When starting up an irrigation system, the service line leading to the backflow preventer should be flushed to eliminate debris that can foul checks.

The Zurn Wilkins 300 Series has a pressure vessel that can be removed and replaced in seconds, significantly decreasing water system downtime. Zurn Wilkins offers a Blow-Out/Flush (BOF) fitting for the 300 Series that eases start-up flushing. Simply remove the pressure vessel and install the BOF, turn on the water to flush, and then reinstall the perfectly clean pressure vessel. The Zurn Wilkins 300 Series is available from us in Model 375 Reduced Pressure Principle Backflow .


Watch the Recomissioning Your Customers' Irrigation Systems in the Spring video, or the 375 Upgrades Video on the One Zurn YouTube Channel for more information.
