As most of you know, we invested a great deal of money for our filtration unit to preform for many days in a row at 40 GPM's without to worry about sludge build up or clogging of the filters. To exceed all EPA requirements in all 50 states.
So we are now over budget on all of the upgrades by about $12,000. Not a big deal, but when do you stop is the question.
We went to get the powder coating done on our trailer which measures at 101 inches wide and 24 ft long. Because of the extra supports needed for the water, the trailer weighs in around 4,500 LBS. with no equipment on it. This makes it difficult to maneuver inside a oven.
We had a powder coating company that we dealt with and have agreed on pricing. The day we went to deliver, we noticed they were closed. They went bankrupt. So we found someone else but they are twice the price.
Question, Should we pay Double the price for powder coating on the filtration unit trailer OR should we use Line X in a yellow color?
What is the benefits of both? Powder Coating is an excellent product. Lasts for many years or line x which is less expensive by about $2,300, but stand up very well also.
The Line X will fade over a few years and the powder coating will take allot longer then a few years to fade.
Money is not necessary the issue, it is the product on the filtration unit and the appearance / durability in regards to longevity that I am asking about in a Parking Garage Cleaning setting.
