Direct peers

Highly comparable to Union Pumps' dealer-install-service model for rural and suburban well-water customers.
• Kinetico: Water-treatment equipment manufacturer with an extensive dealer network that installs and services residential water-softening and filtration systems. Comparable to Union Pumps' direct-to-customer install/service model for rural well-water treatment.
• RainSoft: Water-treatment products and services company that uses a dealer network to sell, install, and maintain residential filtration and softening equipment. Operates a similar dealer-install-service model targeting homeowners with private well or municipal water concerns.
