Pure Power providing clean solar power at the Santa Monica Ice Rink

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

Pure Power is proud to announce that we are providing clean solar power, via an S10 Mobile Solar Power System, to lights, food and skate rental vendor at the Santa Monica holiday ice rink.

This fantastic community rink, which is put up for about 4 months every year and served an estimated 65,000 skaters last year, always get challenges from the eco-community. They say “Ice in Santa Monica?” But to be fair to those who run this important and festive rink, (and you can get more details from them) they provide solar power (via a local company, no less – - excellent second bottom line attribute!) and any grid power that is used has a high renewable component to it. We will update this site as we get the full picture of their environmental efforts, which are impressive.

For example, check out how the tents were designed – this is outstanding!:

“Something beautiful is blossoming. Herbal Essences, known for its variety of luscious hair care and styling products, has teamed up with Portraits of Hope, a program that merges public art with creative art therapy for hospitalized children within local communities, to transform ICE at Santa Monica into an oasis of beauty and hope this winter season with a large scale exhibition under ice. The Portraits of Hope-designed art project, nurtured by Herbal Essences, will bloom into a luscious paradise of beautiful flowers encased in ice for people to enjoy from November through February at ICE at Santa Monica.

Pure Power Teams with Preferred Pump

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

PPE Logo (Blue) 3Pure Power Distribution is proud to announce its new relationship with Preferred Pump, one of the nation’s largest and most trusted wholesale distributors of domestic water systems. Over the last 25 years, thousands of water well drillers, farmers and ranchers, pump installers, dealers, and contractors have turned to Preffered Pump for the highest quality equipment and service.

So we were particularly proud last week to be hosted by Preferred Pump at the World Ag Expo in Tulare, California. This is the largest annual Agricultural expo in the world, with representatives from 72 countries at the show. Pure Power and Preferred Pump were a great combo for the hundreds of visitors to the booth, where we showed two types of Mobile Solar Power Systems(TM), the S48T and the Hybrid S10, taking turns powering a 10 hp pump.PUMP 2

The “48″ is the world’s largest Mobile Solar Power System, and has a 72,000 watt / 600 Amp capacity. The operator can move its panels to track the sun via electronic elevators – imagine moving banks of solar panels catching the sunlight -  a very cool “wave” that brought visitors every time we moved them.

Not exaggerating about the hundreds of visitors – with up to 10 Preferred Pump and Pure Power people fielding questions from 8 to 5 each day of the show, we easily spoke to over a hundred each day. 

Most common complaint: “I’m tired of paying that utility check every month, and it’s about to go up again.”

This relationship is off to a great start!
