Ya I know, There shipping is pretty high I agree. I just wanted to give you an Idea of where to look. Lets face it, Wal mart is not the place for these.

If you want steel straps and not those listed above for the bigger tanks, they also sell them for the 20 gallon to 100 gallon tank size as well.

You can buy them at any plastic tank manufacture or dealer that sells them. They go for about $50 if I am remembering correctly. Because of the chemicals and the fact that our rigs are in the sun day in and day out, we do not use the fabric Nylon straps, though many contractors do use them and have good results. For us, we have experienced that these nylon straps from Home Depot will eventually decay and you may not notice it until they break. Since our water tanks are over 350 gallons, we tend to think of the possibilities that would present if a mishap was to happen while driving down the freeway or a sudden stop. Go to this website: http://www.tank-depot.com/productdetails.aspx?part=N-63546 you will find your straps there.

Call Robert Hinderliter or the PWNA..they will help you with the correct Environmental information for the East Coast.

We use to paint the trailers back when i started my business, only to find out that they rust or the paint will not hold up to the detergent that we use. The degreaser's we use attacks petroleum base paints, thus softens the paint. Its like using paint remover. So since the 2000's, we powder coat our trailers to 8 to 14 mil thick. Now some who love a petroleum base paint may disagree with me on this, but the worse powder coat treatment is better then the best paint job, both in chemical resistance and for longevity. The problem is that if it chips, it is hard to match.

Well said.

Well said AL ! Some say I would have difficulties being a moderator, though I am a Super Mod on another BBS. I find it hard to be objective at times, to stay on neutral ground as one would say, especially when someone is giving incorrect information about discharge and POTW permits. Something that I have been doing before most every thought about washing. By the way, I need to talk with you for our quarterly talks. You always keep me smiling AL. I need to make sure my cell phone is fully charged this time...we always end up talking for hours...LOL. Also, the Parking Garage Event maybe going out east this time around. Hopefully we can meet at that event. Dodge and Ford looks like they will be going to the event as well.

I Like Micheal Hinderliter. Met him for the first time in person. I like his BBS as well. And yes, I do have issues with someone who goes after good people, especially those who are successful.

I can agree with that !

Great Post. John has always been a straight forward guy. Some may not like that, but it is what it is.

Looks really good Beth. You do great work !

.You got 4 hours? I have 3 and I need to drive 12 hrs....LOL See ya there John !!!

I know what you mean Scott, I am glad you finally did that. I remember how you was concerned about the expenses of that. As you know, we have had a mechanic onsite when we clean our Garages for the last 7+ years or more. He has saved us thousands of dollars in lost hours on the Job site. I remember 25 years ago, when I had equipment fail and then had to go home only to drive an hour or so to the shop to have someone fix it the next day, that is, if the shop was not too busy and they could rush us into their schedule. I am happy for you that you got that done! Way to go Scott !!!

First, I want to thank everyone for your prayers. Though I do not want to talk about it on open forum, it was an experience to feel that you may never see your daughter, your son or your wife again. Nobody should go through that. Again, Thank you all so much...

Congratulations on your NEW PWNA Position. You got to be one of the smartest guys in the field. Good Choice !!! GO PWNA !!!!!!

I like TGS for sure...the other BBS I like is Powerwashcommunity . Micheal runs a clean BBS other there too ! PWRA...Pressurewashingresource is also a great BBS. Thad has done a great Job with that BBS as well ! With these three BBS, why go anywhere else?

At the last count, I have seen 9 members who are Invisible to all of us who contribute to the Grime Scene. They stay that way until they write a post, then become only visible for that post that they wrote at that time. If they are reading a post or looking at a subject, no one is able to see what questions or research they are doing. Question, How do I or anyone else on the BBS become Invisible?

Thanks Shane.

Amc was burned to the Ground a few years back. They are the ones who made the turbo twisters. We have a few of these. They are great. My guys just do not like how heavy they are. We had over 1,400 dollars in options added to them making ours come in at a cost of over $4,000 dollars each. Ours also spin faster then the norm as well. We are building a motorized unit to be able to ride on. This unit will be over 7 ft wide. We will be able to push this Mammoth of a surface cleaner and expect an increase in performance by 58% with only 25% of the man power needed to run the unit...meaning less labor costs. Currently, Thanks to our Turbo Twisters, we can hit 280,000 sq ft in 7.5 hours. ( Two high performance washers/ two turbo twisters) Because of our custom filtration units, custom washers, our custom surface cleaners, we are able to hit these numbers to clean a Parking Garage with Full Reclaim and Filtration while keeping our quality of service very high. We will bring one , if not more of our custom units to the Parking Garage Cleaning Event held in Las Vegas in the Month of March. to sign in: ParkingGarageCleaningEvent@Gmail.com

We did try some that do burn the skin a few years back. Most on the BBS said this was the chemical to use back then. But those chemicals seemed not to have any better results or even less cleaning results then what we are currently using. I guess we are fortunate since we currently do not have any chemicals that will burn our skin, lungs or eyes and is 100% Bio-Degradable.

I with you John. This was our best year ever. Again we are going to leave money on the table. I cannot build these custom washers fast enough to handle the excess load. Our filtrations units range from 50+ down to 20+ GPM's. Thye Housing market in our area is also going up. As you know John, we buy homes for our retirement. Now a home that was selling for about 220k in a nice area with 1600 sq ft . Now 250,000.

Its a great contest ! Allot of traffic is generated from this contest over at PowerwashCommunity.

Even though all the BODS of the PWNA are a bunch of great professional guys, second to none in my book. They have done their jobs with integrity and honesty. It would be hard to see any of them to go. However, if a spot were to open, I think your professionalism John would be good for any Org you join. You are an honest and straight forward man. You see an issue and stand your ground for what is right. I think you would make a fine addition to any org, and would fit right in with the PWNA. - - - Updated - - - Even though all the BODS of the PWNA are a bunch of great professional guys, second to none in my book.

We have a face book account ! Sure we have over 100+ friends and colleagues on there, but thats not were we get our business from. In fact, we do not advertise at all. No phone book, flyers, post cards...nothing. Only some business cards, about 500 ordered every 5-6 years. Here one for the books......If you were to call 411, our business name would not NOT be listed, yet all of my competitors knows of us very well and as of last year, The crystal Cleaning Company LLC does about 70-80% of all of the permitted Parking Garage Deep Cleaning that requires full reclaim and filtration in most, if not all of the counties in the San Francisco Bay Area. There are other ways to advertise without costing a dime out of your pocket...without getting a face book account or even going on line. Don't get me wrong, for the retail market and some commercial, yes, I would agree, face book is a good tool. This is something I maybe discussing at the " Event" in Las Vegas John. See ya there.

He's reaaly good !!!
