Especially for residential customers!

but he was not talking about residential customers, we are talking about commercial. I never take water on site, that would be silly since a 500 gallon tank would last only 30 minuites. The sheer liability is too high to haul that much water. When doing commercial (which is all we do) we utilize every resource available to make the job easier and more profitable for us while taking the customer and others safty into account at the same time. We uuse hydrants, on site hook ups, and irrigation, all forms are discussed and explained to property managers prior to the job or jobs. I have a 525 and a 225 on one trailer that we built just for commercial applications and out of town work. I have a big trailer too, big 4 door truck, big hose reels, big guys surface cleaners and a bigger check book !!! hahaha Just messing around Dan but seriously the big tanks are a must in most cases that we encounter.
Here is the rig I was speaking of
