Apply Post-Treatment Brine

results because of that the next way to use uh um uh liquid is as a post treatment so this is also known as direct liquid application so this is after the snow has fallen so after the snow has fallen so let's say we get a half inch dusting your post treatment would just be to go to burn off that half inch dusting right if you would have pre-treated maybe part of that half inch wouldn't have stuck in the first place whatever's left behind is what you're post- treating it's getting rid of any residual another way that post treatment happens is after you're done plowing when we're done plowing there's always something left behind there's a glaze on the parking lot or there's tire tracks or there's there's foot traffic that pack the snow down there's always going to be something left behind the post treatment is what's getting rid of that and instead of spreading granular salt we're using liquid and again that's where we're getting our huge savings on salt and I'll explain why in a second so that's going to be 80 gallons per acre and I will asterisk that that by saying if you have excessive snow pack or excessive uh uh ice left behind you might need to go as high as 120 gallons an acre either way we look at this 2.28 lb of salt per gallon we're still only talking about 160 to 200 lb of salt per acre which is numbers of this and let's let's equal let's put an equal sign right here 40 gallons * 2.28 gives you how many pounds are be putting down on an acre and then 80 gallons 91.2 on the three so equals 91.2 pound per AC okay 82.4 so you can see that that's a lot less salt the average contractors putting down 1,000 lb of granular salt per acre this is massive salt savings compared to applying granular salt and
