While rock salt has been the standard for pre-treating and deicing roadways, many contractors are turning to liquid salt brine for its economic and time-saving benefits. However, making your own brine solution can be daunting when you don’t know where to start. Don't let the next storm get the upper hand. Here's everything you need to know about making salt brine.
During storm season, your equipment needs to be ready at the drop of a hat. Any setbacks from a poorly maintained fleet is wasting time that could be spent protecting the public from snow and ice. To provide the level of service people depend on you for, equipment maintenance should be at the top of your checklist before, during, and after a storm event.
There are several variables that go into successfully using liquid brine for deicing. Knowing what to add to your brine, and when to use brine is important for a successful deicing.
