Brine Application & App Demonstration

Treating Black ICE with Brine
What happens here
With the brine maker loaded, secured, filled with brine, and engine issues resolved, the crew sets out to apply brine. The video shows the truck driving on a highway, with the narrator explaining that black ice is difficult to spot and often forms on bridges due to cold air circulation. He advises caution on bridges. At the job site (a church parking lot), Alex demonstrates the VSI Legacy Series' smartphone app (VSI Spray Control app). He uses the app to independently control the left, right, and center spray booms. He also shows how the engine throttle adjusts automatically based on the truck's speed to maintain a consistent application rate. The hose reel can also be controlled wirelessly. He highlights the automatic stop feature if the hose reel button is accidentally engaged while driving. Alex then applies brine to the parking lot and sidewalks using both the boom sprayer and a handheld wand connected to the hose reel.
Goal: Apply brine using the VSI Legacy Series unit and demonstrate its smart control features.
