[NOTICE] Upcoming Price Changes

I am sure you all know that there is some uncertainty in US and foreign markets regarding trade and tariffs. Many sources of raw materials, energy, parts and manufactured goods have already felt the impact and no doubt you have already seen or anticipate price increases for various products in many categories.

All EWS, Inc./Environmental Water Systems water filtration and treatment products have and always will be designed, manufactured and assembled in the USA. This decision was made years ago to ensure quality control, uninterrupted supply and has also added to our stability in costs and pricing.

I am very proud of the fact that EWS has only had 7 price increases over the last 32 years. It speaks to our quality, service and efficiency. In our 2018 pricing, which became effective December 31st, 2017, we had price decreases on some of our most popular products and developed more aggressive stocking programs and tiered discounts to encourage and reward realistic quantity purchases.

Even though tariffs on foreign goods and materials do not directly affect any EWS product, our vendors are feeling the economic pressure and have announced price increases to EWS that we can no longer absorb or control.

We have never done across-the-board increases. We will be making targeted price adjustments only and announcing these targeted increases (from 5% up to 11%) by November 1st, which will be effective as of December 1st, 2018.

Before you panic, we want to let you know that some key product will still be lower than 2015-2017 pricing. For example, the Max Flow and EWS Whole Home product, even with the slight price increase coming in December, will still be below 2015-2017 pricing.

There will be no inventory disruptions compared to the instability others may be facing with foreign supply chain issues.

New price sheets will be available to all purchasing associates as of November 1st. Revised EWS Summary Product and List Price Guides will available to update all EWS binders throughout November.

The entire EWS crew and I appreciate your continued support and understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call us.

Best,
Howard
President/CEO
