Why it matters for FloWater
Monthly review creates repeated sales windows instead of one annual deadline. FloWater can support a facility with a product packet, site concept, quote and grant-ready scope when the need is verified.

Recommended action
Create a Minnesota grant packet and a monthly account watchlist. Confirm the exact FloWater model with MDH before representing it as eligible. Pair each lead result with a site plan, multiple quotes and a clear maintenance plan.
