The Flocell filter aligns with that mission.” said Frank Rebori, CEO of Smith & Loveless. “We are very excited to work with the Evolution Aqua team in introducing the Flocell technology to the marketplace. From the start, it was evident that Smith & Loveless and Evolution Aqua share common synergies.”
