looks like this. Here are 14 key reasons your home needs it.
GMX is less expensive to
purchase, install and
operate than name-
brand softeners…
and we’ve been installing
systems in your
neighborhood for
15 years! Here’s why:
• Uses NO Sodium Salt • Increases Your Home’s Value
• Uses NO Potassium Salt • Protects Plumbing Fixtures
• Wastes NO Water • Boosts/Sustains Water Heater Efficiency
• Has NO Tanks • Conserves Water
• Uses NO Electricity • Improves Skin & Hair Condition
• Requires NO Maintenance • Safe for Plants
More Satisfied GMX Customers!

• NO Ongoing Operating Expenses • Safe for People with High Blood Pressure
David and Corine Cornely of Rio Rancho

The Cornelys live in an area of Rio Rancho with exceptionally hard water.
Before installing their GMX system, it was necessary to replace the kitchen
faucet because of calcium buildup, even though their home is less than 10 years
old. “We knew we needed a water-softening system,” recalls David. “Corine
showed me the GMX ad in New Mexico MarketPlace and we decided to find out
more.” With two pet dogs, Winston and Dude, plus numerous flowers, the
Cornelys were especially keen to keep salt and potassium out of their water (a
key selling feature of the maintenance-free GMX system). Both Corine and
David work at Los Alamos National Lab, so they studied the data on magnetic
water softening before buying. Today, “…there’s no calcium buildup around our
spigots, just a fine powder, which we simply wipe away,” says Corine.
GMX systems use a high-intensity magnetic field to induce molecular changes in your
water. You get ALL the same benefits as softening the water without ANY of the has-
sles. GMX technology is long proven and has been the product of choice by savvy
New Mexico consumers for 15 years. Every customer is protected by a 90-Day Money

Get Champion Windows and Up To $1,500 Tax Credit

By Steve Sawicki©
Don Swope, division man-
ager for Champion Windows,
smiles when he recalls a story
that one of his customers
shared not long ago. The
woman had tried to save a few
dollars on replacement win-
dows by going with a poor-
quality brand, but then had to
buy new windows far sooner
than she would have liked.
“She told me that her mother
finally told her, ‘Quit fooling
around and just get Champion
out here,’” Swope says.
These days, especially with
the passage of federal tax
incentives to boost the energy
efficiency of one’s home, more
and more people are heeding
that advice. This year and next,
homeowners are eligible for a
tax credit of up to $1,500 for a
variety of improvements,
including the installation of
windows and doors that meet
elevated government stan-
dards. Given that most of
Champion’s products already
exceeded those requirements,
