It’s getting cold outside! You know what that means, right?
It’s time for the winterization process to begin. We usually see this happen
with home sprinkler systems, but we at A Royal Flush have to winterize toilets and electric flush systems during the
winter season.
For those of you who don’t know, the process of winterization is
simply getting something, whether it’d be a car or a portable toilet, prepared
for winter. Could you imagine a world without winterization? It would be a
mess! Pipes would burst, cars would break down, and most importantly, portable
toilets would not function correctly during the winter.
Portable toilets not
functioning correctly during the winter can lead to problems, like not being
able to clean the toilet.
There are few ways to
winterize portable toilets. The first is to add a brine solution made with rock
salt. This is the least expensive way to fight the cold weather.
Another method
is to use methanol. A lot of portable toilet operators prefer methanol because
it is a lot easier to use. Where with the brine solution you have to dissolve
the rock salt, methanol can be poured directly into the toilet.
Now let’s say
you are in a very cold area; I’m talking -40°
F. For weather this cold many people mix the brine solution and the methanol.
So there you have it; the basic process of winterization.
