Happy 2019 AQS readers! 


The inventory count and data entry input are complete and most of the various AQS business systems are up and functional again after our extended holiday shutdown. Winter is never a very good time at AQS, but this year it was better than most because of a few industrious contractors who were at least able to get some installations started before the bad weather set in. So, a big THANKS to you guys who took a chance and got things going very early in January. It was a big help for us at AQS and I hope it has helped you too. It is not easy to get out there and work in cold weather, I KNOW!
This year our newsletter will consist mostly of headlines and newsflashes which will be designed to refer our readers to our website, “AQSIrrigation.com” for in depth details and further information on the subjects that we hope you will be interested in. So, please try our new format below and see if it works for you. And please give us feedback when appropriate. Let us know how we might better communicate to keep you informed about all things AQS and sprinkler related. Ask questions, and we will do our best to find answers.
HEADLINES  — FOR MID-FEBRUARY, 2019
AQS WILL RETURN TO REGULAR SEASON HOURS beginning Monday, March 18; a little later than usual this year due to the DIY classes and contractor seminars that we will be scheduling for early March; see below. Regular season hours will be 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday thru Friday, and by appointment only after hours and on weekends.
CLASSES Are now forming for both do-it-yourselfers and for contractors interested in getting into either sprinkler installations or maintenance and repair. We have not offered anything like this for several years. Demand is high again now, particularly for qualified troubleshooters and repair professionals. Get your training at AQS and benefit from our 39 years of experience in the field. Also, we hope to be your prime supplier and source of leads for work. Call Darrell at 816 461 7627 for details about the classes and visit our website, AQSIrrigation.com to learn more about our company.
NEW FEATURE FOR 2019 AT AQS will be a “guest contractor” on site at AQS from time to time to help answer your homeowner questions and possibly even schedule work to be done at your home. These special visits will usually be on Fridays or Mondays, or possibly mid-week sometimes if weather is such that the contractors can’t work. Call 816 461 7627 to check the schedule and get expert consultation from veteran lawn sprinkler professionals.
LOOK FOR NEW PRODUCTS at AQS this spring. We are in the process of considering several brand new product lines. The ones we settle on will be introduced by factory reps at the seminars outlined above, sometime in early March.  
AQSIrrigation.com will have more details on all these subjects and much more.See you there, or better yet, come by our store at 13665 East 42nd Terr, South, Suite G, Independence, Mo. 64055 for the grand tour and a sales pitch by Darrell, Low pressure, I assure you.
