BUSINESS CORNER

5 REASONS WHY YOUR COMPANY SHOULD SPONSOR A LOCAL LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM What’s the best pastime that America loves to watch and play? It’s baseball, of course! Nothing says summer and fun like getting out on the old ball field and playing a game with friends. Why not support someone’s dream of playing by having your liquid waste company sponsor a local little league team? These kids are truly deserving of your sponsorship, because all they want to do is get out there and play ball. The really little ones who play t-ball are just so darn cute to watch!

There’s really not very much involved other than buying their uniforms, some equipment, and maybe the end of season trophies for those little sluggers. Plus, if they win the championship, you can put their team photo up on the wall at your company’s office. Clients will see that gesture of goodwill up on your wall when they come into your office.

Here are some reasons why your company should sponsor a local little league team. So let’s root, root, root for the hometeam! w w w. am er ica nliquidwa ste.co m

Reason #5: It’s Terrific Advertising Word of mouth is one of the reasons you probably get a ton of business in the first place. Having the sponsorship of a little league team is basically free advertising in the long run. People will see that you are sponsoring their team and naturally want to send business your way. It’s a total win for your company to be visible that way around the community with the name of your brand printed on every t-shirt.

Reason #4: Tax Breaks For Your Company This type of little league sponsorship can be a tax writeoff, because most kids sports are classified as non-profit operations. It’s considered a charitable expense, so your could receive a reduction on your company’s taxes. Talk to your tax attorney on how to best go about setting this deduction up, so that you can maximize the savings when J U LY 2 0 1 7 A M E R I C A N LI Q U I D WASTE 7

you go to file your taxes each year. All deductions you get can add up to savings over time that make a difference.

Reason #3: Sponsorship Helps Foster Community Spirit This can’t be stated enough. When you help out the youngsters in your community, it does help foster community spirit and goodwill. Nothing is better than knowing your liquid waste company is participating in a great cause to fund kids playing sports. Without sponsorships, this time-tested tradition of children being in sporting activities will cease to exist. It’s already becoming less and less popular in less privileged communities who can’t afford to put together teams. Everyone will look favorably on your company as an asset to the community when you help out in this way. This is the true reason to do it, above all else.

Reason #2: It Doesn’t Just Have To Be Baseball If you think you’d get more out of sponsoring a local hockey team or pee-wee football team, have at it. Any sports sponsorship is going to help out the kids in your local community, so it doesn’t matter what sport you choose.

PRoduCTs ComPany

Maybe soccer is really popular in your town and you’d like to go in that direction. In any case, think of the sport that gets the most people involved in your town to look towards sponsoring a team. It doesn’t just have to be baseball.

Reason #1: More Advertising This really can’t be stated enough, that’s why it’s on here twice. Having your liquid waste company’s name on the team uniforms, in the scoreboard area of the baseball field, and even on the trophies is all advertising for you. People who need your septic services will naturally think of your company, because it’s your name they will think of first. That includes the parents and friends of every kid on the team and anyone they talk to. It’s word of mouth referrals like wildfire, with this sponsorship technique.

Plus, it’s usually only going to cost your company a donation fee of around $200-$500 depending on the area you live in. It’s a drop in the bucket for all the visible advertising you’ll receive.

BE SURE TO FLUSH! We all hope that our expensive equipment will last for a long time without breakdowns! Unfortunately, this rarely unintentionally happens! Careful maintenance is the only way to keep your vacuum pump running smoothly for the long haul. The flushing procedure is one of the maintenance items that needs your careful attention! Rotary vane vacuum pumps should last for many years if they are flushed out periodically.

The flushing activity is a relatively simple procedure that cleans the inside of the pump, allowing the vanes to move smoothly.

When do these pumps need to be flushed? It is recommended that you flush your pump weekly to keep debris from building up inside the pump. It is always better to flush it more often than not often enough. Any time solids or liquids are allowed to enter the pump it should be flushed immediately. General maintenance flushing should happen according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. Consult your operator’s manual for your specific pump.

The flushing procedure generally involves running a small

1 2 A ME RIC AN L IQUID WA S TE JU LY 2017

amount of flushing fluid through the pump at operating speeds. Different pump manufacturer’s recommend different flushing fluids, which may be straight diesel fuel or a mixture of diesel and pump oil. Consult your owner’s manual for specifics on the flushing procedure for your pump make and model.

There may also be videos or instructional literature on the pump manufacturer’s website.

To flush the pump, first, put it into vacuum and create 10-15 inches of vacuum. Next, open the flushing kit valve and run 7 ounces of flushing fluid through the pump. After adding the flushing fluid, close the fluid valve and let the fluid circulate through the pump for several minutes. After the fluid circulates through the pump, shut down the system and drain the secondary scrubber. Check the pump manufacturer’s manual for complete flushing instructions.

Some tank manufacturers will install a flushing and oil kit close by your pump. You should check daily to be sure that the pump is using some oil. Refill the oil reservoir as needed.

Vi s i t Us

Follow Us

Simple attention to your pump will pay off significantly in the long run. The flushing kit and oil reservoir should be noted and maintained as part of a regular truck maintenance program. This equipment is built to last, but will require attention and TLC along the way. Happy flushing!

SPOTLIGHT

MAINE SEPTIC AND PUMPING AN INTERVIEW WITH KATHY-RAE EMMI Can you tell us a little bit about your backstory and how you got into the septic business?

My father, William “Bill” Presby had started an excavation company in 1948, when he bought his first bulldozer.

The construction company with an emphasis on septic installations was how my three older brothers and myself were raised. All of us learned to drive construction equipment, work a shovel and pump septic tanks. So I grew up in the septic business.

In 1980 I graduated from high school and earned an athletic alpine ski racing scholarship to Western State College of Colorado, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. After college I worked some more in the family business and took a job with a computer company thinking the last thing I wanted to be doing was construction or septic tank cleaning. After moving to Maine I met my husband at the Mexican restaurant that he owned. (cont on page 19) 1 6 A ME RIC AN L IQUID WA S TE JU LY 2017

What are some of the distinguishing features and ways your company’s service stands out from your competitors?

In 1996 as a side business I started selling the septic systems that my brother, Dave Presby had developed with Presby Environmental.

How is your business structured?

Our business consists of three entities – product sales, septic tank servicing and septic inspections for realty transactions. My husband sold his restaurant in 2000 and joined me in growing the business. Our plan was to always keep it small so we would manage it without a lot of employees to direct. Currently we work with two part-time employees and we run hard all spring, summer and fall, with winters being used for maintenance and to fuel our skiing desires. Currently, we have 35 dealer locations that we have established to resell the Presby Environmental Septic Systems throughout the state of Maine and we have two pumper trucks to service our client base of over 5300 residential and commercial customers.

Our company has always been about providing an education to our customers, coupled with the very best service that we can offer for a reasonable price. Taking the time to talk with our customers to listen to their concerns and providing them with solutions to resolve their issues really sets us apart from the competition.

Attending training classes to learn more about the services and products we offer has been a priority over the years. The education that we have obtained has allowed us to stand out from our competition with a knowledgeable and professional image. Arriving at this identity for our company was not something we needed to attain but what we had planned from the moment we started this business. Realizing that customers really have no idea how their septic systems worked gave us the green light to offer this education and become the go-to company for answers and/or solutions.

What marketing research do you look towards in deciding what kind of trucks to buy?

Good old fashioned hands-on and in-the-trenches daily coupled with online research, reading the trade publications, attending trade shows and talking with others in the business has been very beneficial in our decision making process.

What is the percentage breakdown on the types of services you offer?

Our company consists of three income sources. Sales of the innovative septic systems from Presby Environmental is 70%, septic tank cleaning is 28% and the other 2% comes from our septic system inspections. w w w. am er ica nliquidwa ste.co m

What is your target growth look like for this year so far?

Our target growth is always to exceed the previous year’s numbers. Challenges along the way have not been anything more than growing older and wishing we had younger bodies to do our jobs. Always day to day challenges but those challenges keep our job interesting.

J U LY 2 0 1 7 A M E RI C A N LI Q UI D WASTE 19

our tools or our software. Boosting morale is being flexible with their time so they can have time for their families or themselves. We expect our employees to have the same level of professionalism that we do and to become as knowledgeable. Training is a daily process and making them feel welcome to ask questions is key.

Tell us about the different trucks and other equipment we would see out your office doors?

Who works at the company with you and your husband?

My husband and I with two part-time employees are employed by our company. My husband and one part-time employee are on the trucks day to day. In the office, myself and my part-time helper are handling the calls, scheduling jobs and updating the customer information in the electronic files.

How do you boost efficiency in workers and how does training work for your company?

Efficiency comes with the latest technology in either

2 0 A ME RIC AN L IQUID WA S TE JU LY 2017

Our trucks are older models but are well maintained. We have a 2004 Peterbilt with a 4500 gallon tank and 2000 GMC with a 2500 gallon tank. Also in our lot is a stock of our septic systems – our new EnviroFin Leaching System – smallest leach bed available in Maine. The Enviro-Septic leaching pipe and the fittings. Also we carry plastic septic and holding tanks.

Also we have a small tractor for jobs that require digging with trailers for delivery of pipe or tanks.

We are interested in how many clients you have and name some of your contracts, if you don’t mind.

We service about 800 residential and commercial customers annually. We have special needs group homes that are one (cont on page 24)

The biggest challenge is the rising cost of the disposal of the septic waste. If I was about 15 years younger I would make a big effort to have my own treatment facility for composting the waste. In our product sales division we always have competition and again, we try to spend as much time educating the designers, installers and code enforcement so they can recognize the differences.

THE LATEST IN THE INDUSTRY THE WATER WORKS™ FRESH WATER DELIVERY The PolyJohn Water Works™ Fresh Water Delivery system uses an on-demand electrical pump to deliver up to 93 gallons of fresh water whenever it’s needed. It works wherever people work, including office trailers, food service trailers, tool cribs and lunchrooms. The system is also the perfect accessory to portable showers, sinks and fresh-water portable flush toilets.

A semi-transparent tank allows users to see how much water is available. And if an event requires more than 93 gallons, an auxiliary holding tank can be added for double capacity – no problem.

The complete system weighs only 46 pounds empty, which means transporting it to a site is a one-person job. It measures 60” high and 23” wide and fits nicely inside the smallest closet. The system can also be plumbed to fill from the outside of a trailer. For gray water storage, 250- or 300-gallon tanks are available.

Cleaning the inside of the tank is easy because of the 10” diameter access cover on top, and water can be drained quickly through a 1” valve. The Water Works Fresh Water Deliver system is designed to operate on regular household current, and the circuits are protected

by GFCI and a low-water electrical shut-off.

For water delivery that works when it’s needed, wherever it’s needed, the Water Works Fresh Water Delivery system is a smart choice. It’s made by PolyJohn, one of the leading manufacturers of highquality portable sanitation products.

COXREELS® INTRODUCES A PRODUCT ENHANCEMENT FOR THE 1¼” AND 1½” SLPL SPRING-DRIVEN MODELS Coxreels is proud to introduce a product enhancement to the spring-driven 1¼” and 1½” SLPL models. Prior to this update, these models of the SLPL came standard with Coxreels’ aluminum inline swivel. Optional on all of these models was the outsourced 90° swivel. For customers needing a stainless steel fluid path, the outsourced 90° stainless steel swivel was the only option.

Coxreels eliminated the aluminum inline swivel on five SLPL models (725, 750, 825, 835, and 850) and incorporated a nickel-plated steel inline swivel (from the 1185-Series). This swivel increases the pressure rating of the inline plumbing from 250psi to 1500psi. The nickel plated steel is also far more rugged and durable than the aluminum swivel that it replaces. The new swivel includes Coxreels multi-lobe seals for much improved leak integrity.

The new inline swivel is also available in stainless steel, which gives customers a choice with their stainless steel fluid path requirements. The stainless steel inline swivel fluid path is considerably more cost-effective than the 90° swivel stainless steel fluid path.

The inline swivel also boasts a more efficient, less restrictive flow path than the 90° swivel.

The axle plumbing in both standard carbon steel models and optional stainless steel models was upgraded as well. The 135° elbow on the axle riser has been replaced with the Coxreels swept riser design (also from the 1185-Series). The swept riser design offers a less restrictive flow path for improved flow efficiency.

Coxreels® has remained steadfast and focused on manufacturing high quality, industrial grade hose, cord, and cable reels with leading industry innovation since 1923. Offering a full product line serving the industry in every channel and application, Coxreels® takes great pride in designing, building, and supporting each and every product made exclusively in the U.S.A.

FLEXICORE® CLOSET AUGERS FROM GENERAL PIPE CLEANERS THE MOST DURABLE, KINK-RESISTANT AUGER IN THE INDUSTRY

Flexicore® Closet Augers from General Pipe Cleaners are the most durable closet augers in the industry.

The ideal tool for clearing clogged toilets, General’s Flexicore Closet augers are made of 2 layers of tempered spring steel coiled tightly over a core of 49-strand wire rope – for remarkable resistance to kinking. The design is so tough, it’s guaranteed against breakage for a full year, including damage to the cable, as well as the Closet Auger’s other components.

The innovative Teletube® Flexicore Closet Auger makes the job easy when the stoppage is just beyond the bowl. Rather than having to pull the bowl, this heavy-duty auger has 3 feet of cable telescoped inside the guide tube until you need it. After you’ve worked the first 3 feet into the bowl, just press a button and pull the crank handle for an additional 3 feet!

The optional down head for both augers follows the contours of the bowl and springs through sharply angled passages while protecting inner walls from chipping or breaking.

And the custom Closet Auger Bag puts an end to dragging dripping wet closet augers though homes, hospitals, and offices. It keeps the closet auger contained and out-of-sight when carried to and from jobs.

The durable design’s wide mouth end with heavy-duty zipper makes closet auger retrieval and storage quick, clean, and easy. Three vent holes let the auger dry between jobs. And the thick shoulder strap keeps your hands free to carry other tools.

For details, contact the Drain Brains® at General at 800-245-6200 or 412-771-6300, or visit www.drainbrain.com for more information.

General Pipe Cleaners, a division of General Wire Spring Co., is a leading manufacturer of high quality American-made drain cleaning equipment. In business since 1930, the third generation family-owned company is celebrating over 85 years of service to drain cleaning professionals and plumbing contractors, as well as facilities managers, the rental industry and the hardware/home center market.

POLYJOHN MOVES FLORIDA WAREHOUSE We are excited to announce that we are moving the Florida warehouse from its location in Apopka, FL to a new location in Daytona Beach, FL. This move has been long thought out and is going to benefit everyone.

The new location has easy access to I-95 and I-4 so it will be much quicker and easier to get items to more people in Florida and the Southeast areas. Even more is that it is a bigger warehouse, meaning we can stock more inventory to better service you.

Here is the new information for the warehouse: PolyJohn Florida Service Center 805 Brentwood Dr. Daytona Beach, FL 32117 800-493-7171
