When you pump out of the storage tank through the brine maker and into your sprayer, what is running to pump/suck it in? The sprayer?

We have been on the fence of wanted to go with brine. Do you think if you would have pre treated with rock salt or clear lane that would have burnt that .5 to an 1.00 Of slush you got?
@jeffgootjes8418
@jeffgootjes8418 14 күн бұрын
I’ve thought about brine but situations like this I think salt would have handled it better. There are times where brine would work fine but the additional labor and equipment to make it and store it just outweighs the benefits in my opinion. We presalt alot and there is usually plenty of time for the salt to work before places open.
@SnowBoss
@SnowBoss 13 күн бұрын
I used salt for 30 years before switching to brine and in this situations (air & ground temps), was just the right combo to create the slush. Everyone using rock salt was scraping as well. I could have melted it off with brine, if I would have put more product down. But we always prefer mechanical removal if we can and use less product (either salt or brine). Our triggers are 0", so basically we can plow when we feel it will be a better and faster end result. The end (monetary) result is the almost the same. Either your charging for 3 or 4 salt applications, or 2 applications with a plow.
@jgoings13
@jgoings13 13 күн бұрын
@ very well put. From a wear and tear and labor expenses side we would rather salt then drop blades and pushes. We are definitely looking for the same result just a more efficient way. Thanks
@SnowBoss
@SnowBoss 13 күн бұрын
@@jgoings13 I don't really think there is a only 1 way solution. It's really how you're set up. In that particular storm, I would have needed to use 125 ton + of salt (if I was still using salt) to melt it off. Instead we only used 11,000 gallons of brine and 1 time thru (2 hours) with mechanical removal. Again, there is no right or wrong, just preferences.

you never bid on snow contracts by when it snows, u make a price for the season for plowing , then for salting and and removing snow by loading into dump trucks. snow or no snow u are paid in two installment for plowing. one time in january and one in march. u never bid on snow when it snows, u bid on season. u need to pay for ur equipment u can t rely if it snows, u need guaranteed payment snow or no snow
