#403 - Innovation in Action

Welcome to the Water Quality Association Podcast. Learn more about WQA at https://wqa.org. In this episode, we feature a follow up to a presentation about innovation at the 2025 WQA Convention & Expo in Long Beach California. You’ll hear from Rory Sherman with WQA Member Company Clean Water Guys, high schooler Jaxton Gillette and WQA External Affairs Coordinator Jill Gasienica, who helped us bring this story to you. You’ll hear about the need for a new Quick Release Tool for water treatment professionals, how Rory developed a connection with Jaxton’s mother at a WQA Convention and ultimately how Rory and Jaxton co-designed the new Quick Release Tool. It's a great story!
