so these this is where it's really important for us as contractors to educate our clients the important Consulting a company here in Minnesota has done a lot of research on this they run the smart salting program for the mpca they've shown that each ton of salt applied causes between eight hundred and three thousand dollars of damage long-term damage to each property so when you put down one ton of salt that costs your client between 800 and three thousand dollars in long-term infrastructure damage and damage so we're talking about payment damage yup asphalt underground structural steel Turf Landscaping rugs carpet flooring inside the building door jambs revolving doors anything that corrosion can ruin is what we're talking about with that staff and you're saying that with liquid de-icing you don't get that because your boots aren't picking the granulars up and carrying them with because once you apply that it stays where it was meant to be put and it doesn't go where it's not supposed to be so that's one big thing yes you're absolutely correct it does stay where you put it a lot better okay but another factor is that you're just using so much less salt so because we're reducing our chlorides by 30 to 75 depending on how much you're implementing with liquids if you're just doing pre-treating you're talking about 30 assault savings that's still substantial if you're talking about pre-treating and most trading now we're talking about 60 to 75 savings on salt the actual tonnage of salt saved is even more impactful than the fact that we're using it in liquid form we need to maybe break this down into its simplest measures so these guys can understand why you have why you're using so much less material because when you you're using the same material you're using the same salt but not in its granular form you're pre-mixing it you're diluting it you're getting it into a concentrate and then that allows you to control exactly how much material goes in a spot in versus where if a granular falls on a countertop then that granular has to melt and you don't know what the concentration is you don't know what's going to happen is this am I understand correctly yeah so when you spread salt all you're doing is making salt right on the ground when that salt hits snow and ice and make salt rain on the ground yep by applying salt brine directly we're skipping that phase change and we can use a lot less salt scientifically it only takes 150 to 200 pounds of salt per acre to…
