WEFTEC 2025: Our Most Successful Year Yet

This year’s WEFTEC conference in Chicago proved to be one of our most successful yet. Between connecting with industry professionals and exploring new ideas, the week was packed with excitement for what’s ahead in wastewater technology.

From Cubs games to city sightseeing, the Cox Research team took every opportunity to strengthen relationships both within the team and across the industry. But the real highlight came on the show floor with Opti-Float® and CAMO®.

For the first time, our CAMO® system was displayed physically, allowing attendees to experience hands-on demonstrations that showed just how intuitive and efficient the plug-and-play design truly is.

Meanwhile, Opti-Float® continued to draw attention for its unmatched versatility. Beyond its primary role as a level detector, attendees were eager to see how it can monitor hatches, pair with clarifiers, or even automate timed processes like engine hoists. The feedback was positive—and the interest led to more demo requests than ever before.

It's always fun explaining our products to people who are in our industry and can connect the dots in their head. They realize what we're selling and how it benefits them. You can almost see it in their eyes and their demeanor when they learn how cool the product is and how it can really fit a lot of people's needs. - Nick, Cox Research Team Member.

We left Chicago inspired, motivated, and more connected than ever. The future of wastewater innovation is bright—and the future is Opti-Float®.
