Window Cleaning Tip - Making Your Own Water - Rented DI Tanks Vs A DI System of Your Own

If you are considering using water fed pole technology in your window cleaning business, you have probably already looked into acquiring the Deionized water system needed top make the water fed poles work properly. As a window cleaner you have two main options for making deionized water. You can either rent DI tanks from a water company like Culligan or you can purchase your own complete all in one system.

There are pros and cons to using each system and to help you make the best choice for your business below you will find the four main criteria you need to consider when selecting a system for your window cleaning business.

Convienience

DI Tanks - Many water companies consider window cleaners to be a hassle; we are a small account for them and sometimes in their opinion not worth the hassle. IF they deliver the tanks they often demand a 2 day notice, or you drive to get new tanks (you lose money from lost revenue, gas and payroll). If tanks run out on the job site you waste time replacing it. If you are not sure how much life the tank has left, you might change it out too soon which increases your cost per gallon.

Water Systems - No Poblems, extra filters can be kept in stock and changed on the job. No guessing when filters need to be changed as the system will tell you.

DI Tanks - DI tanks are bulky and ugly. They look like a "thrown together" system in most cases, roped in the back of your truck. Generally the tanks stay on the truck and are not very easy to move.

Water Systems - Hose reels, smaller filters, gauges, and portability will impress your customers. Can be wheeled to anywhere on the site.

Tax Savings

DI Tanks - All rental and re-gin costs are tax deductible but all you own are receipts at the end of the year. If your Di costs are 0 a week you will spend at least ,200 a year and have nothing to show for it.

Water Systems - Spend the ,200 now and take the amount off your taxable income. Units and poles can be leased for about 0 - 0 a month. At the end of the year you own an asset and with average tax savings on a ,000 purchase most can realize a "real" price of ,380 for a unit. With the filter replacement that year of 00 your total cost can be around 80. That's a savings of over 0 for the year in real money.

Storage

DI Tanks - DI tanks cannot be laid down in a truck and clutter your shop until the water company comes to get them.
Water Systems - Require very little space to store in the shop and on the truck or van, plus they can be laid down for short trips.
