Dear PoolDoc,
I’d like to thank you for your candid response to my post and I wholeheartedly agree with your perspective on the dubious and/or snake-oil type products that our industry seems to attract. As a result, I’m also quite skeptical of products (and not just those in our industry) that make unsubstantiated claims. On these things we agree and see eye to eye. However, I think that we will probably have to agree to disagree on some of the other points, especially as they relate to Pristiva. Specifically, Pristiva has data with which to substantiate it’s performance claims. Some of this data has been incorporated into a patent application while some of the other, more recent data has been shared publicly at the last two IPSPE trade shows. Although our target audience for these presentations was and continues to be prospective customers only, we’re aware that scientists working for our competitors have also seen our test data. After two years, we have yet to receive a data-driven rebuttal from any of these companies. Realistically, I don’t expect this to change your position, but that was not my goal. My goals were to thank you for your candor, and also to assure our customers that Pristiva has solid performance data that substantiate our claims. Prospective customers can and should review our data package in order to make informed buying decisions and, as noted in your earlier post, visit [ Pristiva's website - live sales links NOT allowed ] for more information.
