Without going into too much detail - it is a component part of a much bigger idea for one.
Also at the last job of the year, last year, innocently we flooded a lift shaft.
We were running water from a hydrant about 100 metres away, up on a 1st floor car park, well away from where we were working, it was not practical to keep running up and down to keep turning off the water.
So we let it run into what we were told was an outside drain, no one, us or the construction management checked what this open grid was for, more presumption that it was a drain.
I have had a bill that will be coming off my invoice for a heckuva lot of money, so another reason to have it as a permanent fitting on the works vehicle/s is to take care of any future issues.
I try not to buy things with a sole purpose and try and build something around the bigger bits of kit, I do work on a thought process that if you buy tried & tested and at what is affordable at the time then there shouldn't be a reason to buy twice.
On store fronts the Big Brute will give me more suction than I will need, which is a lot of security when you have clients customers walking past all the time.
Once set up I can sell that on to the contract management I work with and I would expect that it will also give us a much quicker cleaning process because we can move forward quicker.
