Ever wondered why balancing a Hot Water Flow and Return Pipework system is so crucial? Check out the latest article by AHSCA Qld Committee Member Ken Crase, Smarter Fire Hydrant Solutions in the newest edition of the Master Plumbers' Association of Queensland magazine! Ken dives into why balancing a Hot Water Flow and Return Pipework system is essential, from ensuring energy efficiency to preventing costly system damage. 💡Did you know? 🌡️Correctly sized balancing valves help maintain consistent water temperature and pressure, reducing pump size and energy use. 💥Improperly sized valves can cause pitting corrosion, cavitation erosion, and even failure to meet design temperatures. AHSCA Qld values our strong collaboration with MPAQ in delivering expert knowledge and solutions to our members. Head over to page 13 for the full breakdown of manual vs. automatic balancing valves and how they impact your hot water systems! 📖 #AHSCAQld #MPAQ #PlumbingIndustry #HotWaterSystems #BalancingValves #Sustainability #Efficiency

We are delighted to announce William Farmer (Managing Director of Dale Carnegie in Australia) will be the keynote speaker at our AGM in November. William has been involved in Dale Carnegie for 35 years and created 5 franchises throughout Australasia during his tenure. He is a great presenter and is sure to get the crowd fired up. His presentation is titled "Inspire the Fire for Desire". As business professionals, it’s important for us to reflect on our purpose. Our purpose for being in business can sometimes be very personal to us, but along the way we can lose that flame that ignited us to trade our days with our chosen profession. Our strategy is important and so is cash flow, but what’s got us here to this point in time, has been purpose and there’s no greater purpose than what Dale Carnegie talked about, and that’s making the difference in people lives. 🔵AHSCA Qld Chapter AGM & Dinner🔵 - Thursday 7 November 2024 - Broncos Leagues Club - From 5:30pm Dale Carnegie Australia (QLD, WA, SA) #hydraulicconsultant #AGM #plumbingdesign #networking
