Frequently Asked Questions

My boss wants me to use knockoffs to save money.  They keep failing.  What should I tell him about using Schmidt over knockoffs?

Tell boss you are not saving any money.  When the valve fails you will lose money with the downtime to replace the valve.  Knockoff manufacturers do not know the engineering design or the materials we use.  They don’t know the science we use to produce valves.  Don’t discuss the price of the valve.  Discuss the price of downtime.
