[Andrew Bandarovich]

now, yes. It happens to my machine all the time. Between rust in water in different parts of state, rust in fittings and stuff. Dont worry about it.

Just don't drink it. How old is your burner?

[Scott Stone]

I have not seen this happen in machines that do not run DI water through them. Of course, I am just a newbie. Really though, you might need to descale your machine to improve its' performance. It will help the water flow, and reduce the amount of rust.

I am calling BS on your question. You sound like a newby, not a person with any experience. When did you start in the grease business? Are you a HO?

Mr. Dodsonish, your question is without merit and is frivolous. Just how long have you been a greaser? Are you a greaser? Or are you one of those flat workers?

No, I do not think you are making rust colored water up. Nor do I think you know what to do with waste water. Your questions & posts are those of a person with no or little experience. How long have you been in the grease business? I am not asking for gross $, number of accounts, just how much experience do you have. You can answer in years or months or weeks or days.

In response to your question about Baker City, the population has been 9,000 to 10,000 since the turn of the century. About 17,000 or 18,000 in the county. We go about 150 miles south, 75 miles east, 150 west and 125 miles north. We do not have a Wal-mart, and I hope we never get one. They have not helped the small business person at all.

I am certified by ICC, IKECA &FPC for various life & safety operations. I have 20 years experience as a firefighter, including a couple of years as a white hat. I am also proud to be a member of one of the world's largest charitable orgs, the Lions. This year, my people and I have received 68 hours of formal training, not including monthly training in house. We are a small company, consisting of myself, 2 full time techs, 2 part time techs and a part time bookkeeper. References supplied upon request.

Now it is your turn. I retain the right to call BS on any false claims. A HO is a term used to denote a home owner, a person who may be posing as a professional. Go! Your turn in the barrel. If you pass, I may propose you for membership in the Grease Police.

I found it to be lucrative, Then have added a few accounts a year and started servicing full time about 2 years ago. You post bad things about me and questions i have. You may have more experience in suppression system's But, I have been looking at your company and there is still a few things that ur lacking.
