yo guys watch your hose when filling tank
Permalink  
 


i found this area i liked. so i talked to a guy that lived on the corner at the entrance. i said i would do his roof at cost in hopes of getting all his neighbors, he was a little skeptical but allowed me to do the roof. my tanks were empty so we made a batch, after the tank was full my guy disconnected our hose from the home owners hose but he left our hose in the tank. im on the roof spraying, the home owner was very impressed he started to call his friends and every one has intrest . i finish the roof we start to pack it up and my guy yells the tank is empty. to my dismay i see that the hose is in the middle of the lawn which was put there buy the home owner(he moved it from his rock bed) the whole time im doing the job the tank was siphoning it self. 200 gallons drained on his lawn i have never been so embarassed i was trying to give the money back telling him that his lawn is destoyed but hes like ahh dont worry abought it.but i will be going back to rebuild the lawn. he was a nice guy so i still think ill get the development.

so make sure your guys take the hose out of the tank i would hate to see this happen to some one else its not good! its like filling your pool up shuting the water off and leaving the hose in the pool the next day your pool is empty (i did that before just never thoght abought it)

Dan, good warning man. I must admit that I did the same thing when filling my tank up for my very first roof.. The only difference is that I did it to myself. I busted my A$$ repairing my lawn all season, LOL.

Glad the guy wasn't pissed at you. Lesson learned!

Hey, it happens to even the best. It was a good lesson to learn, especially since the customer wasn't ready to beat you down, lol.

If you check with the local water authority, I'm sure they'll insist on a siphon break on your fill hose.
