210 Pinks and Blues: Concentration Ratio
b'
Welcome to Scaling UP! H2O, the water treaters\\u2019 podcast. For newer listeners, something I try to do at least once a month is to take listener\\u2019s calls or show suggestions and answer them in episodes we like to call \\u201cPinks And Blues\\u201d.
I LOVE taking your questions and talking about them on the show, and today is no different. We\\u2019re talking about Concentration Ratio on today\\u2019s Pinks and Blues Episode.\\xa0
Now that term might be a little confusing because there are 2 terms for the same thing: Cycles of Concentration AND Concentration Ratios. Don\\u2019t worry about it, I\\u2019m going to break down for you why I like the term \\u201cConcentration Ratio\\u201d and how using that term with your customer will help you build a better relationship with your customer.

Bottom line: Join me as we scale up our knowledge so we don\\u2019t scale up our systems.
Your roadside friend, as you travel from client to client.\\xa0
