Our deepest condolences to all affected by these fires. These hit close to home, as so many of our customers and HASA employees have been evacuated, and many of whom have lost everything.  Our prayers are with you. We are here to support you however we can, so please do not hesitate to call your local HASA rep if you need someone to talk to. ______________________________ Connect with us!   Realize your full potential.Watershape University® Water chemistry questions?Orenda® Questions?
