Illegal dumping of truck mount dirty water messes with the environment, it's often illegal, and it gives our industry a bad rep.
How would you feel if somebody dumped their dirty water on your lawn after every job?    |

Fighting grime, saving carpets, and leaving a trail of freshness.

Legal action should be initiated against such miscreants who are socially irresponsible.

Even though I use eco-friendly carpet cleaning solutions and spotters, I don't know what the guy before me used, so I always use a sanitary sewer inlet. Most houses here have an inlet in the yard if I need an emergency dump, which is seldom.
If you've ever tested the ph after a hydrofluoric-based rust remover has been rinsed for 5-minutes straight - you wouldn't want that stuff going into the water supply. |

It is not allowed to dump the waste water on gardens or lawns, especially in a University setting with a lot of environmental forward thinking campus

We are using a trailer( about 20ft long, hitched to a 15-17 ft van) and will be connecting to a building outside water supply. The disposal of the recovery tank water has not been discussed yet, but I have a feeling they will be dumping it down the sewer system( toilets in the buildings wash rooms). The process used to buy this system and trailer is starting from the bottom up, where they buy it, then figure out what any issues later. It will be used at night in a Educational setting( problem with security with doors left open). Also asking workers to step up and volunteer without knowledge of equipment(training later) and no discussion on the wage scale change.

Depends what psi your @ and the soil level. I've done almost 2000SFT @ 300psi before it fills on mid nasty carpet. Now with 500psi your lucky to do 1500sft.

My work is buying the Titan 575 and a trailer to drop it off at a site, what happens when the recovery tank is full(70-75 gal). Can we use the sinks in janitor rooms/ washroom toilets and sewers? We are suppose to be using green products? What is the run time on a 70-75 gal recovery tank?

I see tm guys dumping at the station here in Eugene Oregon. I am not saying every tm'er does it right all the time, just that I have spotted the vans at the dumping station.
These water treatment plants don't claim to get the chemicals out. If they did do that, birth control medication wouldn't be in the water wildlife drinks and is resulting in a drop off of the population levels. My nextdoor neighbor works for one some 35 years before retiring. They break down organics and rid the water of needles and condoms for example. Green chemicals that break down into safe products in the water are in my opinion the socially responsible choice for the professional. |

Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?
