Ten free liquid deicing lessons hosted by Jordan Smith, a pioneer in all-liquid deicing and the liquid deicing expert and marketing manager for BOSS Snowplow. Six lessons are built for snow and ice contractors and four for property owners.
Meet Jordan Smith of VSI by BOSS Snowplow and get the foundation: what salt brine is, how it is used to pre-treat, post-treat and pre-wet salt, and why contractors save up to 70% on salt.
Apply the right amount at the right time: 40 to 50 gallons per acre to pre-treat, 80 to 120 to post-treat, the 95/5, 90/10 and 80/20 brine blends, and when to adjust for wind, rain and wet snow.
Great brine starts with salt that is at least 95% pure. Learn why brine must hit the 23.3% eutectic point, how to measure salinity accurately, and which additives lower working temperature, fight corrosion and stop refreeze.
Liquids are the future of snow and ice. They deliver better consistency, accuracy and adaptability, and more regions are already setting chloride-reduction standards. It's not a question of if, but when. See why liquid deicing belongs in your operation.
Build a liquid program that keeps up: brine makers that mix to 23.3% every time, storage at two to three times your per-event use, remote refill stations, and sprayers with speed-based rate control and three-lane booms.
Switching to liquids doesn't mean cutting your price. Keep billing per occurrence, then follow a 100-acre example where liquids cut one event's material cost from $5,600 to $3,357.
Meet Jordan Smith of VSI by BOSS Snowplow and see what liquids do for your property: safer surfaces sooner, up to 75% less salt, less salt tracked indoors and less long-term damage.
Contractors often spread 1,000 lbs of salt or more per acre to limit slip-and-fall liability. Learn why only 160 to 200 lbs per acre is needed and how liquids close the gap.
Studies show each ton of salt causes $800 to $3,000 in long-term property damage. See where that damage hides on your property and how liquids with additives cut it.
