No New Posts Local Chem company's giving home owners BAD advice! (Preview)

No New Posts Measuring vs Pricing Per Gallon?

just wanted to know your guys' thoughts about charging for chemical by the gallon? I heard Mike Sullivan does this and if so, how do you count your chemical Mike? Is it how many SH gallons you use? Or how much chemical is mixed altogether? For example if you're using a 50 gallon mix of chemical do you charg...

No New Posts USUABLE BARREL LIFE OF SH (Preview)

It is in my garage which never gets below 35*-40* The first 55 gal drum I bought was in a blue barrel. The latest one is in a black barrel. Does light effect SH and how long will the SH remain useful? With t...

Question - I am about to purchase  55 gals of 12.5% SH from a chemical supplier, how long can I expect it to be affective?  Will it last a week if not mixed or should I only purchase what I intend to use then next day or so? Thanks in advance for any advice.
