What sets our product apart is that we sell manufactured salt brine. This is created at our facility and brine only moves from our brine maker to our tanks when it is tested to be at the ideal mixture for de-icing: 23.33% salinity. Not only does this keep the Sodium Chloride mixture consistent, but it keeps our final product clear from any impurities. If you have spread traditional rock salt before you know how much “rock salt” is actual rocks and dirt which do not do anything to melt snow and ice. This is especially important when spraying salt brine because any impurities in your tanks will damage your equipment.
The product that goes into our spray trucks is so pure that after a quick rinse with a garden hose we use those trucks to water landscape in the spring.
Well Brine is unique to Michigan’s geology. This is because of the sedimentary rocks that form the Michigan Basin. Other states such as Illinois, who have been using salt brine deicers longer than Michigan have never heard of or used Well Brine.
Since Well Brine is pumped directly from the ground you are only guessing at what is in it. This can be acceptable for dust control, but has several issues when you want to melt snow and ice:
This can range from oils that will clog your sprayers and coat your tanks to toxins such as Arsenic
You never know what you are going to get when you pump it from the ground so if you get a batch that has a lower calcium content you are not going to melt snow and ice and possibly allow refreezing
Your truck can only carry so many gallons. It takes about two gallons of Well Brine to match one gallon of manufactured Sodium Chloride brine
These issues are why so many operators who have tried to switch to liquid deicers have failed. They buy a brand new VSI, Camion, SnowEx, or Saltdogg sprayer unit and then load it with the wrong solution. Leaving them frustrated as their fan nozzles are clogged, their tanks are coated in an oily mess, and they are not melting any ice. We have had success for 20 years with our product and have never had to deal with these issues. Our product and production system are very similar to municipalities such as Farmington Hills, Wixom, Novi, and Bloomfield Hills who all have success with liquid deicers.
We also use our own tanker trucks for deliveries. And these trucks are only used for Manufactured Sodium Chloride Brine deliveries so there is no possibility of contamination at any point of the process.
If you have questions about our product, deliveries, or even more general questions about liquid deicers we would be more than happy to have you call.
