Instinct Environmental is the manufacturer of the units and met our team onsite to train our staff on installation and battery changing protocols.

MB&G is proud to support the 2026 John Aho Golf Tournament by donating a pair of MB&G-branded pickleball paddles and balls for the tournament’s silent auction. Hosted by the Northwest Oregon Subsection of the Pacific-Northwest Section AWWA (PNWS-AWWA), the annual tournament raises funds for the John Aho Memorial Scholarship Fund and Water For People, helping support future water professionals while expanding access to safe water and sanitation in communities around the world.
