12 Tasks That Will Make

Your Business Better

Keep your management hand on the throttle in 2017 with these month-by-month
small-business improvement tips By Jim Kneiszel, Editor

ouve celebrated the holidays and your New Years Eve celebration is
but a foggy memory. Now its time to plan for taking care of your business in 2017.
Perhaps in recent years youve just let the business happen. Youve
been content to take any new customers whove come along, and tried your
darndest to continue giving good service to your regular clientele. Your crew
seems happy to roll along with the status quo, so you havent instituted any
new benefits programs or reviewed their wages.
Everybody seems happy. Dont rock the boat. Has that been your mission statement lately? In an effort to reset your expectations for 2017, I present a month-by-month business refresher that will hopefully lead to more
revenue, lower expenses and even happier employees. Follow these tips and
let me know how you fared at the end of the year:
January Plan for labor needs
Look back at the past few years. Have crews been working longer hours,
causing burnout and raising overtime expenses? Have service lead times
drawn out longer than youre comfortable with? This is a business where
most customers who call need work done yesterday, and adding to emergency workload can stretch your workforce to the extreme. Maybe you expect enough work this year to add a driver and vacuum truck, or put someone on system inspection or maintenance work full time. Remember, adding
employees doesnt only impact you on the expense side. You should raise
significant revenue with each new worker you put online.
February Address training and continuing education
Training opportunities abound this time of year as state associations
and groups like the National Association of Wastewater Technicians offer
many and varied classes. And the WWETT Show in Indianapolis features
several days of seminars and sessions with national experts in the wastewater field. This years event is Feb. 22-25, and you can learn more about
seminar offerings by visiting wwettshow.com. Its wise to knock out training
required by your state or local permitting agency during the slower winter.
March Order supplies
Organize the warehouse space and take inventory of consumable items
like paper products and bacteria treatment. Get on your trucks and assess
the condition of vacuum hose. Pop the hood and check out filters, belts and
hoses. Talk to your equipment vendors about expected product availability,
shipment delays and any specials for bulk purchases. Anticipate your needs

company website.
based on last years usage and forecast your demand for 2017. Its better to
stock the warehouse as much as is practical before the busy season starts.
Explore whether you can enter into agreements for bulk purchases with your
friendly competitors.
April Make sure your technology is working
Check your accounting, routing or other computer software programs
for updates before seasonal business picks up. Clean up the customer database, adding and deleting contacts as needed. Assess your company smartphones and tablets for continued viability. If they are more than a few years
old, consider replacement to speed up your workflow. Processor speeds and
operating systems evolve rapidly in these hand-held devices, and older units
can leave you sitting in the truck waiting for important data to transfer or
routing maps to load. Reduced battery life can also cause headaches when
front-line workers are unexpectedly out of touch. It might not always feel like
it, but youre money ahead keeping technology equipment refreshed and
ready to go.
May Plan community involvement
In the days of social media, reputation building is a big deal. If your
growth strategy doesnt include donating your time and expertise in some
way to civic service, its time to start thinking of ways you can pitch in. Call
local festival organizers and see if you can trade some modest services for a
sponsorship opportunity. You dont want to lose out on a paying gig, but you
could add value to your paid service by donating back a percentage of your
bill. Choose a cause near and dear to your heart and partner with that charity on a project. It could be anything from providing portable restrooms for
a fun run to installing a septic system for a Habitat For Humanity family. Do
your part for the community and then dont be afraid to tell the world about
it through your Facebook page or company website.

June Perform spot checks in the field

You trust your drivers, sure. But dont take for granted that theyre providing the best service possible every day. Ride along with or behind your
crews one day this month. You can choose whether or not to tell them in
advance about the spot checks. Watch how they follow safety procedures.
Make sure they leave a work site as clean as they found it. Call all of their
route customers the next day to see if they were happy with the service. After
the spot checks, sit down for a constructive meeting with technicians and
share what you learned. Work hard to make it a positive experience your
people might not be thrilled with the idea, but its a win-win if customer service protocol is validated or improved in the process.
July Review equipment maintenance
Equipment breakdowns are especially costly in the midst of the busy
season. Patches and Band-Aid solutions used by technicians to keep trucks
on the road can present a looming safety hazard. Inspect your trucks on a
staggered schedule, planning to look at the entire fleet over the course of a
month. This includes the engine and drivetrain, the vacuum system (pump,
tank, hoses and fittings), chassis and interior. Address any issues you find
immediately to avoid stranding a driver on the side of the road or having to
reschedule customers to account for a truck that unexpectedly goes out of
service for a week.

son. Do you offer paid vacations, flex scheduling, a retirement account or

health and life insurance to your workers? If not, what steps could you take
to add those benefits? Remember that employee retention is a huge issue,
both because quality workers are as valuable as gold and finding new ones is
expensive and time-consuming.
December Give thanks
Express gratitude to your customers for their loyalty, to your family for
their patience, and to your community for providing a great place to live and
work. The message can go out in many ways, from a holiday postcard to customers, to an ad in the local paper to give a shout-out to your neighbors.

August Review marketing plans

Emergency calls will throw a wrench into your scheduling the closer
you get to the end of the season. How about sending out a mailer to your septic customers to remind them to call now for service rather than putting it off
until the toilet backs up at their Thanksgiving gathering? You could offer an
August special for $10 off a pumping job to fill the routes in the dog days of
summer and avoid some of those last-minute, late-season calls. This is also a
good time to look back at early season spikes in business and figure out how
to better use advertising dollars, your website and social media marketing to
even things out a little.
September Trim business expenses
Youve been focused on building revenue for the past several months of
high call volumes. The key has been filling routes with as many paying jobs
as possible. Take a step back this month and try cutting business expenses.
Look at how much you paid for supplies and ask vendors if there are ways
to cut those costs. Review various insurance policies, from auto to business
to health. Are those policies cut to the bone? Compare your building rent or
mortgage interest rate to see if there are ways to economize. Remember that
spending efficiency just like adding a few new customers raises the
bottom line.
October Celebrate successes with your team
Your crew has gone out every morning and busted their butts for your
business. Now its time to show them you appreciate the effort. There are
many ways to send a clear message that you value employees, from serving
them burgers off the grill in the parking lot to giving everyone a paid day off
when business starts to slow down. Actions are important, but you also need
to tell them how theyve helped support your business.
November Review the employee benefits package
You showed employees you care in October; now look at initiatives
that will keep employees on your team for the long haul. Review the benefits package for your employees and compare it to what similar companies
in your area are offering. Your local Chamber of Commerce or members of
your state wastewater association can probably help you make the compariwww.pumper.com Since 1979 January 2017

Big Bore Drilling

Certified Septic and Hydroflushings
Fresno, California
OWNERS: Henry and Beverly Damm

enry Damm remembers the day in the early 1970s when he saw
a truck-mounted drilling rig at a neighbors house with the name
Big Bore Drilling & Certified Cesspool emblazoned on the side.
The workers were installing a seepage pit for a septic system, he recalls.
I was about 12 years old at the time and I wanted to jump in that truck
and play with it.
Ironically enough, Damms wish came true it just took 17 years
or so to happen. Since 1989, Damm and his wife, Beverly, have owned
the 57-year-old septic pumping, onsite installation and repair company,
now known as Big Bore Drilling Certified Septic and Hydroflushing. And
theyve spent nearly three decades making their own memorable impression on customers in and around Fresno, California.

Whatever we promise to do for a customer, we try to do even more,

says Damm, explaining why word-of-mouth referrals have been his best
marketing tool. Providing great customer service is really key. We get just
one opportunity to install a septic system, so we want to go above and beyond so they tell their neighbors to use Big Bore Drilling, too.
A lot of times, our customers mention that their grandfather hired Big
Bore, he adds. If wed have messed up (years ago), that family wouldnt be
calling us again.
Established in 1959, the company has experienced a lot of changes
since it was first profiled in Pumper magazine 22 years ago. For starters, I
still had hair back then, quips Damm.
In terms of gross revenue, the company is roughly 2 1/2 times bigger. It
employs 11 people and has built up a sizable fleet of equipment. Cellphones
and GPS units have replaced radio dispatching, email has rendered faxing
obsolete, and the internet is displacing phone book advertising. In addition,
newer and more stringent California laws governing engine emissions and
septic system installations have added to the cost of doing business. But one
thing has remained the companys calling card: An unswerving commitment to customer service.
NEW CAREER PATH
Damm never expected to be a player in the septic pumping industry. In
fact, from ages 18 to 28, the industrious entrepreneur now 55 years old
started and ran his own window-washing company in Fresno.
Im pretty good with my hands,
he adds. Im very capable of doing

above and beyond.
That drive and determination,
coupled with a strong work ethic and

an independent streak, served him well
after he decided to trade squeegees for vacuum hoses.
When I was first approached about the opportunity, I thought to myself, Be a septic contractor are you kidding me? he laughs. No one

How to minimize employee turnover

Most employees at Big Bore Drilling Certified Septic and Hydroflushing
have been with the company for more than 10 years, and several for more
than 20 years. But Henry Damm, who owns the company with his wife, Beverly,
believes the days of long-tenured employees are slowly fading away.
Like so many contractors nationwide, Damm is far more worried about just
finding qualified people to hire in the short term, much less keeping them on
board for decades. In fact, hes found it far more viable to hire family members,
such as his nephews, Jeremy Davis and Brice Liden, and his son, Jason, than
casting a wider hiring net.
The few times Ive used outside services to find new employees, theyve
turned out to be the worst people Ive ever hired, says Damm.
Referrals from current employees used to be a great way to recruit new
employees. But now that most of his employees are edging closer and closer
to retirement, their friends and acquaintances are older, too, so they can no
longer connect Damm with the younger people he needs to keep the company
going for another generation. Thats a painful realization, he says.
Many of my employees are getting closer to retirement and Im having a very difficult time finding that next generation of workers, he says. We
need to start training that next generation so that when Jason takes over, he
has a staff in place thats able to do what we do. Thats part of my exit plan.
He says hes even started to ask pastors at churches if they know of good
potential employees.
Hiring good people is critical because training them, then losing them
shortly thereafter, is an expensive proposition. We need to invest a lot of money in training, plus they need to get a commercial drivers license, he explains.
That all costs money, so I need to know theyre going to stick around.
To retain employees, Damm says he pays competitive wages and also
gives cash bonuses if the company is doing well. He says that as the backbone
of the business, employees need to be rewarded when the company does well
financially. In addition, the company offers employees a 401(k) program, free
work uniforms and vacation time. And if they dont use all of it, I pay them for
the unused time, he adds.
The company also invests in good, reliable equipment. That can help recruiting efforts because no one likes to work with machines that constantly
break down, he notes.
Furthermore, Big Bore considers employees part of the family. We try to
treat them the way Id like to be treated, he notes. Moreover, Damm practices
a hands-off management style that he believes also contributes to low employee turnover. He welcomes new ideas about how to improve operations and
processes and encourages employees to try new techniques and strategies. If
it doesnt work, well learn from it and move on, he says. But I dont dictate
how things should be done.

really intrigued me.
(Photo by Jason Damm)
Damms father-in-law, Don Davis, helped
him finance the purchase of the business. (Damm bought out Davis share of
the business about 10 years ago.) He also credits much of his success to Bob
Boone, who was the general manager of Big Bore when Damm bought the
company. Damm asked Boone to stay on board to help with the ownership
transition and he ended up staying for 10 more years.
RUGGED EQUIPMENT

tional truck chassis. Capable of drilling

a hole up to 10 feet in diameter, the drill
is used to dig seepage pits, which are
sometimes used instead of leach chambers because of the areas rocky terrain.
In certain areas, theres 10 to 15
feet of hardpan around here, so theres
no way to get drainage, Damm explains. So we drill seepage pits that are
usually 30 to 50 feet deep and 4 feet in
diameter, then line them with bricks.
The whole process takes about four
Henry Damm hours on average, and the cost is comparable to installing a conventional
leach line, he adds.
The company also owns a vacuum truck built out by Imperial Industries on a 2016 Peterbilt chassis with a 3,600-gallon aluminum tank and a

suck up the dirt as we jetted. And when that truck wore out, we replaced it
with the Vactor.
Expanding into pipeline cleaning jobs made sense because it complemented Big Bores existing services. It also allowed the company to leverage
its existing customer base, because many existing farm and dairy customers already used the company to clean and repair their septic tanks, Damm
explains.

Jason Damm, left, and Henry Damm.

In addition, Big Bore relies on a 1999 International with a Reliance
Trailer dump body for hauling rock (25-ton capacity); a transfer trailer
made by Reliance; two John Deere 710K backhoes; a Myers truck-mounted water jetter (65 gpm at 2,500 psi) equipped with a 1,500-gallon water
tank and hoses made by Piranha Hose Products; and a 5-ton International
flatbed truck, used for hauling bricks. Miscellaneous equipment includes
a GenEye pipe detector made by General Pipe Cleaners (a division of General Wire Spring Co.) and a Crust Busters tank agitator made by Schmitz
Bros. For installations, Damm says he uses concrete septic tanks made by
Jensen Precast.
DIVERSIFICATION EFFORT
The Vactor vacuum truck/hydroexcavator and the trailer-mounted
Myers water jetter are emblematic of the most dramatic change at Big Bore
during the last 10 to 15 years: service diversification. Initially, Damm says
he was content to take an if-it-aint-broke, dont-fix-it approach with the
already successful business. But eventually, we started adding more services, he explains. We started doing anything we could do to serve our customers better.
Today, septic pumping, installations and repairs still account for the
lions share of the companys revenue roughly 90 percent. The rest comes
from waterjetting pipelines and hydroexcavating, he says.
Damms entry into jetting pipelines came about entirely by happenstance. He was working for a local plumbing contractor pumping out septic
tanks and performing septic system repairs, when the plumber was bought
out by a national chain that didnt want to do waterjetting. So he asked me
to buy some of his equipment, Damm says. I bought the Myers jetter, and
the next day we cleaned a line at a local college.
We basically learned how to use it through on-the-job experience, but
the machine paid for itself after two weeks, he continues. Then we realized
that a lot of people were moving dirt from point A to point B on farm pipelines and dairy lines. So around 2001, we bought a Vac-Con vacuum truck to

24

Pumper January 2017

A BRIGHT FUTURE
Looking ahead, Damm says hes comfortable where the company is
right now, but hes also not opposed to further growth. In that vein, he envisions hydroexcavating and pipeline waterjetting becoming bigger contributors to the companys bottom line. Those services will help offset the loss
of customers created as the city converts more homes from septic to sewer
service, he adds, noting that his own house is now served by sewer service
instead of a septic system.
I also hope to buy a camera van and start a second leg in that (pipeline jetting) industry, he says. Id like to provide both pipeline cleaning and
video services for municipalities that dont have that equipment. The septic
business keeps moving away from us. We have to go out farther and farther because sewer lines keep taking customers away as the city grows. That
used to concern me, but its never really affected our work, aside from the
fact that we have to travel further.
Damm is also preparing for his son, Jason, to eventually run the company. Theres no formal time frame for that, but he hopes such a succession
occurs when Damm and his wife decide to retire.
In the meantime, Damm says he has no regrets about jumping into a
field he never expected to enter. I still really enjoy meeting with customers
talking to them and seeing how we can meet their needs, he says. I love
to explain what were going to do and leave their yards looking better than
we said they would. Its so much better to have happy customers than having
people wish you hadnt come.

State of Washington Expands

Septic System Replacement Loan Program
By Doug Day

he Washington departments of Ecology and Health have expanded

a septic system replacement program in the western part of the state
to cover more counties. Loans of up to $15,000 are available at variable low-interest loan rates and flexible repayment options over 180 months
based on income guidelines. The loan length can be extended up to five
additional years. Along with primary residences, rental units and second
homes are eligible if the system is at least 25 years old, if it is failing and there
is evidence to support it, the homeowner has been contacted by local health
officials, or if orders have been issued to make repairs.
Connecticut
The town board in Beacon Falls has denied a petition from one of its
members to create a property tax credit of up to $500 for people with septic systems. The towns sewer system is supported by tax money rather than
user fees, so people not hooked up to it are paying for its operation. Selectman Kurt Hummel presented the petition with 25 signatures, but the board
voted to take no action. Hummel, who says he pays $380 annually to have his
septic tank pumped, has been paying taxes for the sewer system for 20 years
even though he cant connect to it because it hasnt been extended down
his street. The town is looking to enter into a regional wastewater agreement
with a nearby town, which would result in a change to user fees to support
the sewer system.
Ohio
After 10 years of operating under onsite wastewater rules imposed by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Trumbull County (east of Cleveland) is now subject to the same regulations as all other counties in Ohio. The
county was under the more strict EPA regulations due to a consent decree

signed in 2006 because of the number of septic systems that were discharging
raw sewage to ditches and bodies of water. Sand filters or secondary treatment are no longer required for systems that discharge water offsite, which
added about $3,000 to the cost. The county may now also grant variances
from connecting to a sewer system if a property has a functioning septic system, and can consider septic systems for lots that were not eligible under the
consent decree but are under state regulations. The EPA has provided funding for repair and replacement of septic systems; $300,000 in 2015.
Maryland
While the legislature has yet to take formal action on Gov. Larry Hogans
reversal of a requirement to use the best available technology for all septic
systems in the state, Wicomico County is following the lead with plans to
repeal its own impact fee for septic systems. Hogans action would overturn
a 2012 law and require BAT only in environmentally sensitive areas, such
as proposed by the governor. In reaction, County Executive Bob Culver announced a proposal to permanently repeal the $5,200 impact fee on new
home construction, which has been the subject of a moratorium in 2016 as
proposed by Culver and approved by the County Council. The local impact
fee was created about 10 years ago to pay off debt from school construction
and repairs.
South Carolina
The owner of a South Carolina septic company has been sentenced to
18 months in federal prison and a $10,000 fine for illegally dumping septage.
Timothy Howard, 51, owner and operator of American Waste Inc. was
charged in federal court for two violations of the U.S. Clean Water Act. He
was convicted of dumping septic waste into a grease trap at a restaurant in
April 2011 and into a local sewage system in June 2013. Court documents
also said he made false statements to local police and hid more than 85 percent of his septage-handling activities from records submitted to the state.
Intentional acts by rogue septic haulers pose serious risks to the health of
our community and environment, Andy Castro, assistant special agent in
charge of EPAs criminal enforcement program in Atlanta, said in a news release from the U.S. Attorneys office. Those who operate within this industry
must adhere to the regulations and laws for which they are permitted.
Idaho
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality has begun the process
of updating the technical guidance manual for septic systems. The proposed
changes involve soil design groups, graywater systems and conditions for
approving the use of composting toilets. Specific changes are available on
the agencys website.

live by one motto: If you grow stale, you die.
The business was started by their father,
Wayne, and uncle, Waldo Carter, on the backbone of septic pumping. Their uncle passed
away in 1978, leaving their father to operate
the business on his own.
My brother Wayne and I had been helping my dad since we were 5 or 6 years old, so
we gradually grew into the business, says

The company promotes the use of BioClean

(Statewide Supply) for septic tank maintenance.
We realized early on that we would go stale
if we relied only on septic pumping, says Carter.
You can only grow so big on that and theres a big
slowdown in winter when we have maybe 10 septic
pumping jobs in a week. To keep busy, we have a policy of attempting to
pump almost anything at least once. We pump everything from toxic liquids
to grease traps, gasoline and fuels, waste oil and oil spills, and caustic soda.
Weve pumped gravel from drain systems, removed blown insulation from
attics, and beer from the floor drains of a local brewery.
However, Carters no longer offers to pump fly ash, which never settles
in the tank and clogs filters.
Handling the pumping of toxic materials requires additional certification for employees and also requires the inside of waste tanks to be steamcleaned between off-loads.
The portable restroom business has grown significantly over the years
from a small inventory of 20 and now employs two operators full time. Contracts are about 70 percent construction with events and smaller government contracts making up the rest.

and brother Jason joined the company a few
years later. Today, the company employs 27 people. A satellite office in Shediac about 25 miles away employs two. Pumping and jetting make up about
35 percent of the business. Portable restrooms represent 20 percent. The remaining 45 percent is excavation, construction, septic installation and lateral relining.
The brothers have specific responsibilities: Brad takes care of septic
pumping, liquid waste, portable restrooms and pipe patching; Wayne is responsible for construction, excavation and new septic system installs; and
Jason is responsible for the fleet, including the in-house maintenance shop.
We have our little scuffles, but each of us knows our place and we dont
doubt each others decisions, says Carter. We realize that not everything
you invest in will make money, but that each of us is doing our best for the
business.
A FIT FLEET
The main vacuum fleet is made up of six trucks, all with steel tanks:
a 2015 Peterbilt 345 with 3,850-gallon tank and Fruitland pump built out
by Imperial Industries; a 2016 Freightliner and 2009 International with
3,850-gallon tanks and Moro pumps from Cusco; and a 2001 Sterling Acterra, with 3,600-gallon tank and Moro pump from Cusco. Rounding out the
fleet is a Vactor 2100 combo unit mounted on a 1999 Ford L8000.

Carters current lineup of restrooms includes 300 standard portables,
20 flushing with sinks and 10 wheelchair-accessible units, all from PolyJohn
Canada. Theyre transported by two trailers: a 22-unit made by Linkletters
Welding Ltd. and a 10-unit by McKee Technologies - Explorer Trailers. In
addition, the company offers eight restroom trailers six Rich Specialty
Trailers, one from Room To Go and a new five-station unit from Comforts of
Home. Two portable shower units are from PolyPortables. PolyJohn Canada
also provided six hand-sanitizing stations and 20 stand-alone sinks.

ventional septic systems, and 40 percent involves advanced systems. For installation work, Carters relies on concrete
tanks from Casey Concrete and risers and lids from Polylok.
Septic construction work led to general excavation, full build-outs
of sewer and water connections and even related sales of sand, stone and
gravel.
The excavation fleet includes: two Caterpillar 420D backhoes; two Case
850E dozers; two Hitachi excavators, a 160 and a 225; a John Deere 160 excavator; a Case CX50B mini-excavator; four Volvo L60 loaders; and a JCB skidsteer. Dump trucks include a 2016 Western Star Twin-Steer; a 2014 Western
Star tandem; a 2006 Sterling tandem; and two Freightliners a 2011 and a
2013. Dump trailers include: a 2012 Peterbilt tandem; a 2011 Peterbilt triaxle; a 2010 Western Star tandem; and a 2007 International tandem.
A 2012 Peterbilt with an 8,400-gallon KROHNE stainless steel tank delivers water for various residential and commercial customers.
A BUSY SHOP
The in-house service shop overseen by brother Jason employs a fulltime mechanic who works afternoon shift from 4 p.m. to midnight.
That keeps more equipment on the road during the day, says Carter.
During the summer we handle most regular maintenance, but during the
winter we will handle anything from transmission replacement to changing
out an engine. That keeps a couple of our regular guys on the payroll and
helps keep up morale.
Carters also jets and relines sewer laterals using the PipePatch (Source
One Environmental) epoxy resin cured-in-place liner system.
We use a camera from General Pipe Cleaners to scope the damage and
then insert the bladder, says Carter. When a construction company broke
a lateral in town last year they expected it would take road closure and two
days worth of excavation to fix it. We repaired it without road closure in two
hours.
For root-infested laterals, the company has recently begun offering
RootX, a chemical treatment to soften and dissolve roots prior to flushing
and jetting.
GETTING THE WORD OUT
The company commits to a substantial advertising and promotion
budget. Carter says that phone book advertising still works for the business,

42

Pumper January 2017

although the ad has prominent placement the full back cover of the directory. The company website and Facebook page are also big draws.
Weve tried newspaper and radio, but we werent getting the bang for
the buck that we expected, he says. Our three best promotions are wordof-mouth, the name painted on our company trucks and our employees.
The company is an active member of the New Brunswick Association of
Onsite Wastewater Professionals. If youre not on top of the changes in the
industry, your business will lose touch with the market, says Carter.
The Carters regularly attend the WWETT Show to make new business
connections and learn about new technologies and equipment. When people ask how I can justify going to the show, I tell them I dont understand
how they can justify not going to the show, says Carter. When I leave Im
excited to go back to work and try out some new ideas.
Carter says the business remains eager to explore new options for
growth.
Its too easy to say no to a customer, he says. Well never turn down
an opportunity to do something new or challenging or different.

VIP BEST 1WHY? BECAUSE ONLY THE BEST WILL DO

This company was started 27 years ago under a different name. We had one goal in mind: produce a
better portable restroom. Create a restroom so no matter where you are on this earth, it flushes clean
water 24/7 with no sight or odor of the waste. Most of all make it JUST LIKE HOME.
We wanted to target the construction industry and the special events where a CHEMICAL portable
restroom is not accepted by all users.
THE VIP BEST 1 features the following: ___________________________________________________
1. A solar panel unit that will recharge the battery
to power the 12-volt water pump that provides
flushing abilities 24/7 to the RV porcelain bowl.
No matter where you are on this earth, you can
adjust the tilt of the panel to capture the sun.
2. An odor exhaust fan to remove odors.
3. The water and waste tank holds about 43 gallons
water and 68 gallons waste.
Note: Frequency of pumping will depend on volume, etc.

4. We use non-potable water so as not to waste

drinking water.
5. An RV bowl that flushes only 16 ounces per flush
or half full, to carry the solids through the neck
of the bowl.
6. Chemical deodorizers are not needed
to control odors.
7. A pressure plate switch below the polyethylene mat,
allowing the lights and fan to turn on and off upon
entry and exit.

11. The invention of plastic produced three great

products in the early 1970s, the models of PolyPortables, PolyJohn and Tufway. Other portable
restroom products have since come to market,
but weve been told these have been the most sold
over time.

14a. We created on the tanks side a set of forklift

ports for easier placement and removal/loading
onto the truck with a forklift. You can load it full
of 43 gallons of water for delivery to an event.
The size of the VIP Best 1 unit is about 48" x 72"
long. Four can fit atop the typical truck bed.

11a. Because of that, we have adopted these three

models for our retrofit kit. Vendors who own
one of these great portable restroom shells
will not need to purchase another model. The
existing model will fit on our retrofit tank, solar
panel roof top, and fan adapter.
The idea is to use your existing models and reduce
the cost of another purchase of walls, doors, and
roof tops, while still owning a restroom with a
solar panel feature. Use older models for construction. Save your profits.

15. We made an adapter to recess into the roof

and hold the exhaust fan to remove odors.
The side vents must be sealed to work properly.

12. These units are not air conditioned.

Theyre designed as an inbetween of the
high-end air conditioned units and chemical
portable restrooms.

8. An electric 12-volt water pump creates a washdown

feature so anyone having a fecal accident can clean
the unit without the help of others.
You can clean the interior first, then refill the water
tank. Theres no need to move the pump truck or drag
a hose around or between the units.

13. The industry standard of the chemical portable

restroom is over 45 years old.

9. The water fill, battery box and waste tank openings

are all in the rear of the unit, so attendees can still
use it while its being cleaned. Without having to
get equipment in and out of doors, you can clean it
faster than a chemical portable restroom.

14. Construction of our retrofit kit.

We have designed the water, waste tanks and skid
to be about 200 pounds of polyethylene material,
70 pounds for the water and waste tanks, and
60 pounds for the skid that holds the two tanks
together. After adding the shell and bowl and fan
adapter and solar panel system the unit will be
heavy. A chemical restroom weighs about 100 to
175 pounds.

10. The Sure Seal odorless waste tank design is like a

P-trap in your home. No chemical deodorizers are
needed, so profits are saved.
The unit vent pipe above to the rear will exhaust
the fecal odor gases.

13a. The cost to purchase a chemical portable

restroom is about $450-$1,200.
Cost to purchase a single air conditioned unit is
about $3,900 to $5,000. Nice units.

16. We offer an 80 watt solar panel; it produces

almost 3.5+ amps per hour. Frequency of use
to restoration will determine the size of battery
wattage needed.
The solar panel bracket is also mounted on the
back wall of the unit. It is reinforced by two
aluminum 1/8" straps inside and outside.
The existing walls are about 1/8 thick and not
enough to support the panel and adjuster alone.
17. We have developed a patent pending towable
dolly system attachable to the base of the unit;
it is available as an option. Used only for
hard top surfaces.
18. We were issued a utility patent pending by the
U.S. Patent Office for copyright protection.
19. Our goal is to remove the sight and odor.
These are the most common complaints you
have received by everyone who uses the chemical
restrooms. If at all possible, women will not use
them.
We think you can increase YOUR business over others
and at the same time increase your profits with a quality product. We charge more rental than everyone else
but still get orders. We have customers who will never
go back to chemical portables.
We can share more about various uses with this product.

Who wants a smelly toilet; please raise your right little

pinkie finger!

Please share your thoughts by emailing us at [email protected]

Please share your contact information and email address. We are looking at this as a part of our market study. Your comments will definitely help and be appreciated.

SEPTIC SYSTEM ANSWER MAN

Finding New Uses for Abandoned Tanks

In drought-stricken regions, pumpers may find work repurposing old septic tanks
for graywater recycling systems By Jim Anderson, Ph.D.

spend a good deal of time working in the U.S. Southwest. There has been
an ongoing drought spanning approximately a decade throughout the
region. Although substantial El Nio rains and snows have helped, they
have not alleviated the water shortages brought on by consumption and the
drought conditions. As a result, efforts have been made to conserve water
and reduce consumption or pumping from groundwater reserves, as well as
encouraging measures to recharge groundwater.
As an example, communities promote the use of low-flow or no-water
toilets and recycling of household graywater flows. Now another potential
way to recycle or reuse part of a septic system has come into play. The suggestion is that if a septic tank or system is to be abandoned, the septic tank
can be repurposed as part of a rainwater harvesting system. Rainwater collected in the tank can then be used to water landscape plants, reducing the
use of potable water (or reused water for that matter) that had been pumped
from deep aquifers.
A recent article on the topic suggested that having an abandoned septic tank cleaned and disinfected for reuse would cost $200 to $500 less than
properly abandoning the tank. Now, this is coming from an area in California where the houses are being hooked up to a big pipe system, so not a
positive necessarily for our industry but may result in work for some installers and septic service providers during the changeover, which is not a bad
thing for them.
I believe this is a worthwhile approach. Water conservation initiatives
should be considered, even in water-rich areas like the Midwest, where I
live. However, there are a few factors conservation proponents and homeowners need to be aware of that may not be immediately obvious, and I believe our industry will run into more questions like this even in areas slated
to be serviced by a wastewater treatment plant.
SAFETY FIRST
First, the authors of the article suggest that all of the tanks in the area
could be used in this manner. As septic professionals, we all know this may
not be the case depending on the age and quality of the tanks. Therefore, a
first step is to inspect the tanks for structural soundness. And, given the large
numbers of cesspools and seepage pits used in areas of the Southwest, we
need to determine if these are actually tanks that could hold water.
Every year we hear about a person walking through their backyard and
falling through the deteriorated tank cover of an improperly abandoned
septic tank or seepage pit, sometimes with fatal consequences. It is key that
a repurposed tank will be structurally sound, so no cracks, no deteriorated
concrete and proper access points for future cleaning after the initial disin-

initial disinfection.
fection. If any of these negative conditions are present, the tank should not
be used until or unless it can be repaired or upgraded.
If a septic tank drainfield system exists, the piping into and out of the
septic tank must be removed, the connections completely removed, and
trenches filled leading back to the house. There would be nothing worse
than filling a tank with water and then having it find its way back to the residence through piping or trenches left behind. Similarly, any connections
to a drainfield or seepage pit need to be permanently closed. Seepage pits
should be properly abandoned by caving in the sides and filling cavities with
granular material (soil, sand or rock) to prevent future collapse.
If the tank to be repurposed was used as a pump tank, all pumps and
electrical connections should be removed and disposed of properly. Pump
controls with mercury switches must be disposed of according to applicable
regulations. Any openings in the tank for electrical lines should be closed
and sealed.
When decommissioning a drainfield, mound or at-grade system, human contact with materials should be avoided. Any part of a system that has
been in contact with sewage should be considered contaminated material
and handled accordingly. Any soil waste that has mixed with sewage would
be considered septage and would fall under the Federal 503 regulations. So a
record of custody would need to be maintained and agreements on the part
of sewage treatment plants or landfills be obtained between the accepting
facility and the service provider doing the work.
Contaminated piping, geotextile fabric, rock or other trench media
should be dried and disposed of in a mixed municipal solid waste landfill or
other designated disposal site.
A NEW SERVICE?
Going forward I expect our industry to be faced with similar questions
and challenges. It means the job will continue to evolve and change, and we
need to keep our minds open to new approaches and perhaps other service
niches we can fill.

11 Little Ways the Words We

Use Are Killing Our Business

Passive and ambiguous language, cursing in the wrong company can turn off customers
and co-workers, costing your pumping company money. By Ryan Robinson

e often take them for granted, but the words we use have a very
real, often unnoticed, effect on our ability to become successful
in business.
A study by The Economist found that nearly all (97 percent) of business executives have experienced misunderstandings due to poor communication, while 83 percent have actually seen negative business outcomes
from something as simple as a poor choice of words. On the other hand,
businesses and individuals with more mature communication profiles have
much stronger chances of achieving higher levels of efficiency, flexibility
and profitability.
Its not difficult to conclude that the words we choose to use, how we
position ourselves during negotiations, and even how we speak to ourselves
will have a lasting impact on our lives.
The sooner you can identify and eliminate the words and phrases you
use that drain your teams motivation, diminish your customers interest in
your business, and erode your own sense of self-confidence, the quicker
youll be able to start making the positive changes you seek.
Naturally, much will depend on the circumstances, but here are the
words Ive found to be most counterproductive to achieving success in
business.
1. I should have
We all make mistakes. After all, a career in business means taking risks,
trying new things, and pushing the limits on what were capable of. Dont
waste time and energy lamenting over what you should have done. Learn
your lesson, move on, and do it right the next time.
2. I could
As much as possible, speak in realistic absolutes. Instead of I could,
choose to use a more confident statement like I will. This shows your commitment to taking the action youre contemplating, and goes to great lengths
to eliminate any hint of doubt.
3. I would have
Its great (and necessary) to take time to reflect on your achievements,
failures and everything in between, when its a meaningful experience.
However, once you internalize the takeaways youve learned from each experience, its time to apply them toward your future, rather than lose sleep
about the past.

As much as possible, speak in realistic absolutes.

Instead of I could, choose to use a more confident
statement like I will. This shows your commitment to
taking the action youre contemplating.
4. Im not sure
Being honest is a wonderful virtue, but saying youre not sure frequently will cast doubt on your competence and subject matter expertise.
Instead, focus on anticipating the scenarios heading your way, so that you
can do your research and be as informed as possible. Youll achieve much
higher levels of certainty by making yourself an expert in your domain.
5. Curse words
Swearing has its purpose, but is often very out of context in the workplace. Social media entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk argues that while using
curse words can grab attention, it can also alienate customers and cause harm
to your business brand. In a blog, he said Plenty of people find swearing offputting in public, even if they occasionally swear themselves. So instead of
creating connection, swearing creates discomfort the truth is that a huge
segment of the population finds this more offensive than just about anything.
6. Maybe if
Theres only one way to find out, right? After considering possible solutions and workarounds to your business challenges, make your shortlist,
rank the most promising options and try them in that order, as cost-effectively as possible. Eliminate your maybe ifs, and instead put them to action.
7. I think
In many cases, Ive found that introducing a statement with the phrase
I think connotes a sense of uncertainty and lack of confidence, inviting a
deluge of alternative opinions. Use the phrase when encouraging open conversation, but avoid it at all costs when making an authoritative statement.
8. Unnecessary acronyms, industry jargon and clichs
Im a huge advocate of honing your knowledge and becoming an expert
in your field. However, that status doesnt give you license to invoke obscure

knowledgeable. On the contrary, they tend to alienate people, highlight selfdoubt and open you up to more opportunities for misusing said terms.
9. When I get the chance, ASAP and other vague time frames
When setting deadlines or schedules for your work, remember youre
building a milestone for yourself. Being specific about dates and times will
go a long way in helping both you and your customers. Going with a statement like Give me two days to formulate an alternative, versus Ill try to
sort this out ASAP, conveys a sense of refined professionalism and helps
make your customers (and co-workers or employees) more confident in you.
10. Probably
Employees and customers alike prefer clarity and certainty over ambiguity and doubt. When speaking or writing, make your statements definitive
so your audience will understand exactly what you mean and what you intend to do. Leave no room for alternative interpretations.
11. Really, very and other emphasis-boosting words
Less is more in this scenario. If you often use really or very to make
your statements more emphatic, you may want to consider unlearning the
habit. Liberally using filler words like this tends to dilute the impact of your
message.

o improve cash flow, operate more efficiently,

lower prices, and boost customer loyalty while
fending off competitors, OnSite Management Inc.
in West Chester, Pa., employs a simple and inexpensive
tool: maintenance contracts.
Jeff Rachlin, who owns OnSite Management along
with partners Bud Baroni and Derald Hay, says the
company has been using maintenance contracts for about
10 years. Slightly more than 20 percent of the companys
5,000 or so accounts have signed maintenance contracts,
and that number continues to grow.
The rest of our customers just havent reached that
teachable moment yet, where theyve just had a major
repair or watched the previous homeowner go through
a $10,000 to $40,000 system replacement, Rachlin says.
They figure If it aint broke, dont fix it. Everyone learns
differently but usually, cost is a big influence.
OnSite Management which tests, designs,
inspects, installs and services septic systems in a fourcounty area in southeastern Pennsylvania markets the
contracts to new customers after installing a system, and
to existing customers, but only after their system passes
an inspection.
Rachlin says maintenance agreements benefit both
customers and the company.
For customers, regular inspections save money in
the long run by detecting small problems before they
lead to costly system failures. And customers appreciate
making smaller quarterly payments instead of receiving
one large pumping bill. The contracts effectively enable
them to amortize the cost of tank pumping over the life of the contract,
which runs for three years. Furthermore, they end up paying less for service
because the company can schedule pumping routes more efficiently.
For OnSite Management, quarterly contract payments generate more
consistent cash flow, as opposed to one pumping fee charged every several
(continued)

years. In addition, contracts give customers a built-in motivation to stick

with the company. (If a customer moves, the contract is transferable to the
new homeowner; if the new owner doesnt want it, the old owner may get
a credit for work not performed, or might owe the company money if the
payments made dont equal the value of the work performed.)
It takes them out of the market, Rachlin explains. When they have a
problem, they know they can call someone whos familiar with their system,
instead of looking through the Yellow Pages or going on the Internet to
find someone. Plus, it keeps their price down because the biggest cost for
us is getting out to a job and back. So if we can schedule, say, six houses at
a time, it helps us be more efficient, and we can pass those savings on to
the homeowners.
coMMon-cents strategy
Rachlin says he settled on the idea for maintenance agreements when
an HVAC contractor tried to sell him a maintenance plan on a new system in
his home. I figured if they can do it, why cant we? he says.

Cloud Computing
Raises Productivity Sky-High
The paper trail used to bog down some aspects of operations at OnSite
Management Inc. in West Chester, Pa. But that changed dramatically when
the company went to cloud-based data storage, which greatly improved
productivity by providing companywide access to documents even for
employees on remote work sites, says Jeff Rachlin, one of the companys
co-owners.
As an example, septic system inspection reports that used to be
available only in paper form are now scanned as digital .pdf files and
posted on a remote server employees can access via home computers,
laptops and smartphones. The company pays a minimal monthly fee for
the service, he says.

Eight times, Sunday through Wednesday, a caravan of three trailers

made the hour-long drive up Interstate 5 from the companys yard to the
Jamboree site to deliver units. Two of their 15-year-old company-built
trailers held 16 units each and a third trailer carried 20 (also company-built,
using an Explorer receiver from McKee Technologies, Inc.). The company
used service vehicles to pull the trailers.

Its like a car, in that if

youre educated and you
know it needs oil changed at certain
intervals, youll do it. The same thing is
true with septic systems. Once theyre
educated, customers will follow
up with service intervals.

Weld tried a new approach for the removal process. Sunday night
and continuing Monday, the team pumped and moved all units to a single
staging area, which he felt simplified the job. Its easier to send a driver to
pick up toilets if theyre all in one spot, he explains. I probably spent a little
bit extra labor, but at least you dont have to send somebody with a map to
go to this campground, get these six, go to another campground, get these
eight. Then you start leaving sinks behind and the (handicap unit) doesnt
fit. Its just a logistics nightmare trying to get the loads to work out. During
the week, they grabbed units as schedules permitted.

replacing a system, Rachlin says. If we
replace a system during a real-estate transaction, the buyer
sees what the seller is going through its a great teaching
point, he says. They can see that with a maintenance
contract, they dont have to worry about that any more. Its as
close to flush and forget as you can be.
It also helps that consumers are becoming more aware
of the importance of septic system management, especially
as more municipalities and/or states require septic system
inspections before a home is sold.

an orientation, he says. The more they know,

the better off we both are in terms of prolonging
the life of the system. If its designed, installed
and maintained properly, we believe it should last
indefinitely. And the more confidence they have in
us, the more likely theyll continue to be our customer in the future. Its all
about building trust and relationships.
Basically, Ive found that its like a car, in that if youre educated and
you know it needs oil changed at certain intervals, youll do it, he adds. The
same thing is true with septic systems. Once theyre educated, customers
will follow up with service intervals.
After pumping a tank and performing a 20-point inspection for a new
customer, technicians leave behind a completed inspection checklist,
a thank-you bag with a company refrigerator magnet that displays
essential contact information, a brochure that explains how to take care
of a septic system, and another brochure that provides details about the
maintenance contracts.

By Ken Wysocky

o improve cash flow, operate more efficiently,

fending off competitors, OnSite Management Inc.
in West Chester, Pa., employs a simple and inexpensive
tool: maintenance contracts.
Jeff Rachlin, who owns OnSite Management along
with partners Bud Baroni and Derald Hay, says the
company has been using maintenance contracts for about
10 years. Slightly more than 20 percent of the companys
5,000 or so accounts have signed maintenance contracts,
and that number continues to grow.
The rest of our customers just havent reached that
teachable moment yet, where theyve just had a major
repair or watched the previous homeowner go through
a $10,000 to $40,000 system replacement, Rachlin says.
They figure If it aint broke, dont fix it. Everyone learns
differently but usually, cost is a big influence.
OnSite Management which tests, designs,
inspects, installs and services septic systems in a fourcounty area in southeastern Pennsylvania markets the
contracts to new customers after installing a system, and
to existing customers, but only after their system passes
an inspection.

years. In addition, contracts give customers a built-in motivation to stick

with the company. (If a customer moves, the contract is transferable to the
new homeowner; if the new owner doesnt want it, the old owner may get
a credit for work not performed, or might owe the company money if the
payments made dont equal the value of the work performed.)
It takes them out of the market, Rachlin explains. When they have a
problem, they know they can call someone whos familiar with their system,
instead of looking through the Yellow Pages or going on the Internet to
find someone. Plus, it keeps their price down because the biggest cost for
us is getting out to a job and back. So if we can schedule, say, six houses at
a time, it helps us be more efficient, and we can pass those savings on to
the homeowners.
coMMon-cents strategy
Rachlin says he settled on the idea for maintenance agreements when
an HVAC contractor tried to sell him a maintenance plan on a new system in
his home. I figured if they can do it, why cant we? he says.

Cloud Computing
Raises Productivity Sky-High
The paper trail used to bog down some aspects of operations at OnSite
Management Inc. in West Chester, Pa. But that changed dramatically when
the company went to cloud-based data storage, which greatly improved
productivity by providing companywide access to documents even for
employees on remote work sites, says Jeff Rachlin, one of the companys
co-owners.
As an example, septic system inspection reports that used to be
available only in paper form are now scanned as digital .pdf files and
posted on a remote server employees can access via home computers,
laptops and smartphones. The company pays a minimal monthly fee for
the service, he says.

STATE OF THE STATES

Installer Licensing Will Raise

Industry Professionalism

Vermont leaders currently license onsite system designers, but are now working with the
wastewater industry to offer broader certification and continuing education By Doug Day

As things stand today in Vermont, only designers of onsite wastewater systems are licensed by the state. There is no registration or certification of installers or maintenance providers. That could change in
2017, as the Agency of Natural Resources Drinking Water and Groundwater
Protection Division is looking at the possibility of licensing installers, according to program manager Ernie Christianson.
Septage haulers are permitted by the Waste Management and Prevention Division. Solid Waste Compliance Chief Barb Schwendtner says it is a
fairly simple program with straightforward permitting requirements.
Whats the status of licensing installers in Vermont?
Christianson: Weve been looking into it for
more than a year. We had several meetings around
the state with designers and installers and will continue discussing it this year with the hopes, if we have
the support, of going to the legislature with a bill next
year to have a licensing program. The reaction so far
is very positive. They would like to have it be a recognized profession with continuing education. One of
the stipulations that I gathered from the meetings is
Installers contact
if we go down this road, we need to be able to provide

good continuing education classes.
at 802/585-4884 or
What are the prospects and timeline?
Christianson: I think its too early to tell because we need a larger sampling of the installers to
get a general agreement. It looks very positive. We
still need to go in front of the legislature. If we do, we
need to present a sound proposal prior to the session
that starts in January.

ernest.christianson@
vermont.gov
Haulers contact
Barb Schwendtner
at 802/249-5904 or
barb.schwendtner@
vermont.gov

So who is licensed in Vermont?

Christianson: We have approximately 300 designers in three classes.
Class 1 are professional engineers who have completed a college-level soils
identification course. They are licensed by the Secretary of State and the
Vermont Board of Professional Engineering and can design any wastewater
system.
Class A and Class B designers are licensed by the Agency of Natural
Resources. We give the exam and determine the continuing education requirements, which are 12 hours every two years with four of those being field
or laboratory courses. Class A can design wastewater systems that do not

62

Pumper January 2017

require site modifications that will serve a single-family residence with a design flow of 1,350 gallons per day or less. Class B can design systems that may
require site modifications or the use of approved innovative and alternative
(I & A) products that will serve a single-family residence with a design flow
of 1,350 gallons per day or less. I & A includes any system designed to lower
BOD and TSS. There are also Class Bs who can design systems for more than
one single-family residence and commercial systems.
Generally, the homeowner hires a designer and the state approves the
design. The homeowner then hires an installer, and the designer certifies the
final installation and submits that to the state. I & A systems are also required
to have a maintenance agreement. The treatment unit must have a vendorapproved service provider and they are the only one allowed to service it.
Schwendtner: Septage haulers only need to apply for a permit, there
is no test. They have to give us information about the trucks they want to
register, including VIN and license
plate numbers. There is also a background check for the company and

is a sole proprietorship, the permit
is issued to that individual. If its a
corporation, the permit is issued to the corporation. There are about 400
licensed waste haulers, but that includes all waste transporters, including
garbage haulers.
(Disposal of septage is regulated by the Department of Environmental Conservation Watershed Management Division. Septage can be landapplied, sent to a wastewater treatment plant or out-of-state incinerator, or
dewatered and landfilled.)

How do you communicate with the licensed designers?

Christianson: I started a quarterly newsletter to inform them of updates, program changes or legislation, and we have a designer page on our
website where they can keep up with continuing education courses being
offered. They can also access the more recent information on our policies
and guidance documents.
What are the big issues for onsite wastewater right now?
Christianson: There havent been any, but we are in the process of rewriting our rules. Once we finish, it will go back to our Technical Advisory
Committee for review.
The design criteria basically remain the same. Its more of an update
and minor changes, and weve added new dispersal methods and technologies, including a provision allowing bottomless sand filters. Manufacturers
now can request approval of new systems and technologies under our I & A
provision and we can allow them even though they may not be specified by
the rule. But a bottomless sand filter is not a proprietary technology with a
manufacturer, so it needs to be incorporated into our rules.
If all goes well, well have a new set of rules by the end of this year or
early next year.

This fragrance technology is
going to revolutionize Safe-T-Fresh

products, said Ramya Kothamasu.
Ramya is the research scientist at
Safe-T-Fresh in Cedar Park, TX. She
has a degree in chemical
engineering, with an emphasis on
organic, surfactant and fragrance
compounds.
Basically, this new formula has the
ability to chemically change odor
molecules, said Ramya. Most
fragrances simply mask odors,
which only has a limited affect on
odor control. But now, odor control
will last the entire service cycle.

Ramya is also very excited about

the purity of the new fragrances,
saying the best way to describe
the difference is dynamic. For
instance, if you compare our
current cherry with our new cherry
fragrance, you would say it is a
purer scent. A higher note!
Safe-T-Fresh customers will soon be
hitting a higher note with their
customers as well, using their
favorite fragrance or one of two
new ones, Lavender and Cherry
Blossom!
Improving our fragrances is one
way Safe-T-Fresh helps you stay
ahead of your competition. Its
also how we stay ahead of ours.

Is It Time to Consider
a Profit-Sharing Program?

Spreading the wealth to employees when times are good can be a valuable motivational tool
and its not just a big-company perk By Erik Gunn

he business is doing well and youd like to show your employees some
extra appreciation and maybe encourage them in a meaningful
way to keep up the good work.
Consider profit sharing.
We mostly think of profit sharing as a big-company benefit. Where I live
and work, in Racine, Wisconsin, home care products giant SC Johnson is
famous for doling out hefty profit-sharing bonuses to all employees. Its so
well known that some big-ticket retailers, such as car dealers, have tied sales
promotions to the annual profit-sharing payday.
But what about small businesses like yours? Can a small septic pumping business really set up a profit-sharing plan? Is it worth considering?

WHO SHARES PROFITS?

The consensus among economists is that profit-sharing plans boost
productivity. How much is hard to say, because plans and the companies
using them can differ widely. Still, the general trend favors them, as a 2010
report from the National Bureau of Economic Research found.
Roughly one in five employers offers some kind of profit-sharing plan,
says Kerry Chou, an expert on the subject at WorldatWork, an organization
that offers advice, training and certification programs for human resources
professionals. WorldatWorks primary focus is on pay, benefits, work-life
matters, and strategies to attract, motivate and retain employees.
The available statistics dont detail whether the companies that participate in such plans are most likely to be large, small, or in between, but Chou
is confident that size doesnt matter: Profit sharing can be an effective plan
at any-size company, he says. It promotes the cultural element in the company that were a family were going to win or lose together.
They have other things going for them. One of the biggest advantages
to a profit-sharing plan is that, regardless of the companys size, its very simple to understand, says Chou. If the company makes profits, we are simply
going to be sharing those with the employees.
The typical profit-sharing plan is just what it sounds like: The employer
takes a fixed percentage of company profits and pays that money out in the
form of bonuses to employees.
HOW TO PAY?
The bonus is typically an annual payment, although nothing stops a
business from making payments more frequently once a quarter, for instance.
Its also possible to set up a deferred payment plan contributing the

66

Pumper January 2017

bonus to an employees 401(k) or other retirement plan, or breaking a payment into two chunks paid over two years so the employees have to stay
another year to get it, Chou says.
But variations like those can make accounting a lot more complicated
and also less powerful as an incentive because deferred payments are
less of a value to the employee, he notes.
The predominant practice is to
simply cut the employees a check to

Youre sold on the idea so what

are many sources, including state and
Kerry Chou
federal agencies, your local employers
association, and private consultants)
to see where you stand. Dont simply look at base pay; see what forms of
variable pay, such as profit sharing or other bonus plans, prevail in your area
as well.
Then identify some expert advisers who understand how profit-sharing
programs work a human resources consultant or a suitably qualified attorney or certified public accountant.
HOW GENEROUS?
The typical plan may set a flat percentage of net income or of EBIDTA
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization to be
distributed, usually after profits clear a certain threshold. But you dont want
to make the choice off the top of your head.
Instead, Chou says, take a close look at how much you can realistically
afford to share and how much you are willing to pay out if profits hit the
target at which the bonus is triggered. Of course, youll need to think hard
about what that target should be in the first place.
Theres also the question of how to divide the total pool. Again, Chou
says, your compensation survey information will be important.
Some employers might take the position that everyone should get the

BOOTH

same amount, perhaps with incremental increases based on how long a

person has been with the company. But market considerations lead most to
scale the bonus according to management rank, he says.
Line workers, for instance, might get a payment amounting to 5 percent
of their base pay, while higher managers bonuses might be 10 or even 20
percent of base. In essence, that means the higher a person is up the ladder,
the more of his or her pay is at risk.
CHECK THE FINE PRINT
There arent a lot of regulations over profit-sharing plans but there
are some.
An important thing to remember, Chou says, is that under federal wageand-hour laws, the typical profit-sharing payment is generally considered
part of an employees regular rate of pay. Thats because its nondiscretionary the employer has committed in advance to paying the bonus if a certain target is met.
This becomes especially important when calculating overtime pay. Because the profit-sharing bonus gets added to the employees earnings, it effectively increases the individuals standard hourly wage. That also leads to
an increase in the employees overtime premium (half the hourly wage, paid
on top of the regular wage for overtime hours). When the profit-sharing bonus is paid out, a sum representing that retroactive additional overtime pay
must be paid out, too.
One thing employers need to do is make sure that their payroll departments are able to get those numbers included, and make sure that a retroactive payment is made if additional overtime is required, says Chou. Failure
to do so could lead to fines and other penalties in addition to an order to pay
the back wages owed.
Discretionary bonuses awarded at the whim of the employer with
no advance communication to employees dont have to be included in
overtime calculations. But they limit the ability to motivate performance because you didnt tell employees in advance about them or how to earn
them. And if the employer awards such bonuses every year, they may become an annual expectation and may be viewed as nondiscretionary in the
event of a wage-and-hour regulations audit and once again, make the
business subject to penalties.
Its much better just following the law, Chou says.
A BIG THANK-YOU
All those considerations point to the care required when setting up a
profit-sharing plan. But if its something you can afford, it may be well worth it.
After all, what better way is there to tell your workers that everyones in
it together?

PUMPER INTERVIEW

Prepare for a Future

With More Floods and Drought

The wastewater industry will have to tweak septic system design and operation to deal
with inevitable changes caused by climate change, experts say By David Steinkraus

ccording to two experts in the decentralized wastewater industry,

there is no point in arguing about climate change. Its here. And
they say its high time the industry prepares for a future demanding
different solutions for wastewater treatment.
George Loomis is a research and extension soil scientist at the University of Rhode Island and director of the New England Onsite Wastewater
Training Center. Jose Amador is a professor at the university and oversees
its Laboratory of Soil Ecology and Microbiology. They have been working
on what climate change will
do to the onsite industry,
and with Jennifer Cooper,
who worked with them as a
graduate student, have published scientific papers that
make a start at answering
these questions.
Broadly speaking, climate change means more
water or less water dependReach Jose Amador and [email protected] and
ing on what area of the counGeorge Loomis at [email protected].
try youre talking about,
Amador says. Rising sea levels will mean less dry soil available for treatment
in coastal areas because groundwater will be closer to the surface. There will
be more water from above as large storms that were once infrequent become
more common. Other parts of the country will be drier, making water conservation more important and making wastewater more concentrated.
Theres also temperature, he says. All microbes and biological systems
react to temperature, and the warmer temperatures of climate change will
affect a number of biological processes that treatment depends on.

STORM CLOUDS LOOMING

Climate scientists say you cannot tie any single event to climate change
because through history we have seen extreme weather, Loomis says. For example, the storm that caused extreme flooding in Louisiana in August 2016
with some instruments recording more than 2 feet of rain in 48 hours
may or may not have been the result of climate change. What the science
says is that storms like this will become more frequent, according to Loomis.
Its real. Its happening now. It has been happening for a while, he says.
The National Weather Service reported that a storm like the one in Louisiana has a probability of 0.1 percent in any given year. To put it another way,
one storm like it will occur once every 1,000 years.

Its going to mean the industry has to become more adaptable. They
have to first realize this is an issue that needs to be on the agenda, Loomis
says. Other industries are already doing this. Our industry is always comparing itself to the big-pipe industry, and the reality in this situation is they
are already responding with plans and actions to help reduce the impact of
climate change.
Loomis says people in the onsite industry may believe what they wish
about climate change, but the reality is that other people are using climate
change as a competitive advantage. For example, if a community is trying to
make a decision between centralized and decentralized wastewater systems
and wants it to be climate-changeready, then the onsite industry must
be able to show it is also ready.

to get rid of the gallons.

Youll do everything
possible to reuse
those gallons.

DIFFERENT APPROACHES
Research is only beginning to
figure out what will happen to onsite systems as climate change progresses. For example, a scientific
George Loomis
paper published in the journal PLOS
ONE by Cooper, Loomis and Amador looked at nitrogen removal in
three drainfield types: a pipe-and-stone system, a low-pressure pipe, and a
shallow, narrow drainfield with geotextile fabric, which received advancedtreated effluent.
Compared to advanced drainfield systems, the traditional pipe-andstone system removed more nitrogen under conditions simulating climate
change. Thats probably because there is less oxygen lower in the soil and
more carbon in septic tank effluent, and the microbes were using the carbon
quickly to process nitrogen, Amador says. Because its cleaner, effluent from
advanced systems contains less carbon to begin with, so there would be less
carbon available for microbes. On the other hand, there was less phospho-

rus removal in all three drainfield types under climate change.

But thats not the whole story, Loomis says. Advanced systems are likely
to be more effective overall at removing nitrogen because they can target
different substances in various components of the treatment train. In the
soil you have to accept whatever happens. In other words, nitrogen or other
substances will be treated within components of the treatment train before
water reaches the soil, Amador says.
This means the industry has a great opportunity to work on new technologies that target specific contaminants, Loomis says. Those that are a
problem now nitrogen, phosphorus and bacteria are likely to remain
problems in the future.
LOOKING AT WETLANDS
Some of those technologies will involve what installers already know:
pumps and switches. Others will not.
There are alternative systems that use engineered wetlands to treat effluent, Amador says. This is already
common in Europe but is not wideTo read a study by Jose

The drawback to wetlands is

the area of land they require, Loomis says. Where land is at a premium, wetlands will not be the chosen solution. Its the system with the smallest footprint that will win, he says.
Areas that are dry now will become drier with climate change, and water will become even more valuable than it is now. Reclamation and source
separation will be important there. You wont try to get rid of the gallons.
Youll do everything possible to reuse those gallons, Loomis says.
Areas that are wetter because of sea level rise or increased rainfall
can expect more movement of disease-causing bacteria and viruses, Amador says. This will happen because saturated soil moves water so quickly
that there is less time for pathogens to stick to soil particles. And warmer
and wetter soil may allow bacteria to grow more. Viruses need living cells
to reproduce, so there wont be more of them, but they will still move faster
through saturated soils.

But now we have the technology. We can look at the genes. We can
look at the DNA for the whole soil microbial community and say, wait, there
is one gene for this and another for that, yet we have not gotten away from
those obsolete explanations, Amador says.
If we dont do the research, we will not understand the system, Amador says. That means we cannot tweak a system to favor one outcome over
another. It also means we cannot redesign or re-engineer systems to favor
the microbial communities that can adapt to the stresses of climate change,
Loomis says.
It would be good if our industry at least remains open to discussion
and new ideas because some of this research is showing us that nature is
more dynamic than we thought, Loomis says.

NEW and USED SALES EXPERT SERVICE PARTS FINANCING

ON THE HORIZON
If there is one topic researchers should look at next, it is what happens
in soil, Amador says. Soil is the end recipient of effluent, and the quality of
onsite wastewater treatment depends on what happens there. But the standard descriptions dont work. For example, in addition to denitrification
by denitrifying bacteria, in nitrogen removal there is also denitrification by
nitrifying organisms, nitrous oxide produced by those nitrifying organisms,
nitrogen gas produced by anaerobic ammonia oxidation, and more, he says.
I would have to go with Joses response, Loomis says. We think we
know whats going on in the soil, but were not really sure. For instance, we
have textbooks that say this is what takes place in the nitrification process,
and there are these two microorganisms involved. But this knowledge is 30
years old, and its based on the only two microbes that we could grow in a
laboratory culture dish. That was all we could do back then.

Water Cannon Pressure Washer

Offers Industrial Cleaning Power
By Craig Mandli

n the wastewater industry, diversifying services can mean the difference between profitability and spinning your wheels. Thats why Water
Cannon, a longtime manufacturer of pressure washing equipment, has
veered into producing products that can not only be used for cleaning sewer
pipes and portable restrooms, but also industrial and oil rig cleaning. The
companys newest unit, a high-volume/high-pressure washer, was on display
at the 2016 Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport Show.
This is a unit that can move mud or be used for jetting, cleaning sewers,
portable restrooms, or anytime when you need to potentially move a lot of
dirt, says Mark Williams, the national sales manager and product manager
for Water Cannon. This is something that allows us to market our products
to different fields of the industry.

This is the midlevel RTX pump, which

is a good multipurpose pump for a septic
pumper that has portable restrooms but also wants to diversify into some
industrial or sewer cleaning, says Williams. Once you get into the bigger
pumps, youre looking at mounting them on industrial vacuum trucks, and
more of the hydrotrenching and excavating market.
The pump is powered by a CH980 32 hp Kohler gas engine with electric start, and the whole unit comes skid-mounted with 50 feet of 1/2-inch
jetting hose. Williams says that not only were pumping and drain cleaning
contractors interested in learning more about the unit at the WWETT Show,
industrial cleaners and jetters saw an application for it as well.
The nice thing about this show is the mix of smaller equipment up
through large industrial units that are on display, Williams says of the
WWETT Show. Its a great mix of everything thats out there, and really gives
a lot of great options for operators looking to diversify. Certainly the interest
we are seeing in this is going to urge us to look at producing even bigger units
in the future.
The 2016 WWETT Show was Water Cannons first as an exhibitor, and
Williams says based on the interest and amount of leads he picked up in the
first couple days, theyll definitely be back.
A lot of the people at this show have been drawn in by seeing our highvolume unit right out front, but once we start talking to them, we can tell
them about all the other products we offer, says Williams. That has definitely created interest in several of our other units that might be a better fit
for them. Not only are the people here diversifying what they do, its causing
us to diversify what we offer. 800/333-9274; www.watercannon.com.

Professionals will have the opportunity to see the top

wastewater tools and equipment in the industry on the
WWETT 2017 show floor by Craig Mandli

Anua PuraSys SBR

The PuraSys sequencing batch reactor from Anua

batches treatment in cycles, including aerobic and anaerobic steps, to clean water and reduce total nitrogen. It allows
nitrification and denitrification to occur in the same chamber,
saving space. The smart controls adjust aeration for varying flows, eliminating excessive air that can lead to system failure through sludge bulking. Flexible tank
configurations include the retrofit of existing tanks. The system can reduce BOD5 and TSS to
less than 10 mg/L and provide greater than 50 percent total nitrogen reduction, according to
the manufacturer. It can be scaled up for commercial applications. 336/547-9338;

Pik Rite

Pik Rite provides complete makeovers to used
trucks. This 2004 Sterling cab was repainted
to a clean white and the 4,000-gallon Pik Rite

chassis was made to look new again. One smooth transition at Pik Rite, rather than
subbing it out to various shops, allowed for a complete team approach, and the components fit together seamlessly, from paint to wiring, and chassis and tank fit-up.

VAC-TRON
EQUIPMENT
JTV 873 PTO
JTV 873 PTO from VacTron Equipment is a PTO
truck-driven system that
combines vacuum excavation with high-pressure jetter capabilities. The
PTO drives a positive displacement vacuum blower that produces 1,000 cfm
at 16 inches Hg. It comes standard with reverse pressure, an 800-gallon debris tank, 300-gallon water supply, 15 gpm at 3,000 psi water pump, hydraulic rear claw door, Big Red filter housing, and a jetter hose reel that holds 500
feet of 1/2-inch hose. All components are controlled from the truck, eliminating the extra weight, space and cost of the pony motor. An optional towing package allows the user to tow other equipment to the job site to help
with efficiency. 888/822-8766; www.vactron.com.

VACTOR
MANUFACTURING
RAMJET 850 SERIES
The RamJet 850 Series truck jetter
from Vactor Manufacturing offers a choice of front or rear hose
reel locations. Equipped with a Jet Rodder water pump, the unit breaks up
blockages in sanitary lines, flushes out debris and scours sewer lines. ParkN-Clean technology allows the operator to park near the job and start cleaning with minimal setup. The standard front hose reel has a capacity of 800
feet of 1-inch hose and can telescope up to 15 inches forward and rotate up
to 270 degrees, providing direct alignment. The aluminum heated enclosure
keeps the pump and plumbing covered and protected. The standard rear
hose reel has a capacity of 700 feet of 1-inch hose and can rotate 180 degrees
90 degrees to curbside and 90 degrees to street side. It offers a 0 to 80 gpm
flow at a variable pressure up to 2,500 psi at the hose reel. 800/627-3171;
www.vactor.com.

VECTOR
TECHNOLOGIES
VECJET
The VecJet from Vector Technologies is offered in both 350and 700-gallon configurations.
The unit is powered by diesel or gasoline Kubota engines and uses Giant
water pumps. These trailers represent a blend of Vector trailer construction and Vac-Con water jets. They include HDPE water tanks up to 700 gallons, water systems up to 40 gpm at 3,000 psi, tubular steel Vector trailers
and Vac-Con hose reels with up to 1,000-foot hose capacity. 414/247-7100;
www.vector-vacuums.com.

The 5E Electric Smoker from Superior

Signal Company connects to any clean-out or inspection port to smoke
test an entire system in just a few minutes. Smoke testing can be an effective
technique for finding sources of odors and many other faults throughout the
building plumbing, laterals, the septic system and leachfield. The unit gently
pushes smoke throughout the system to find cracks and leaks, and quickly
identify problems; sets up and shows results quickly. It comes with an 8-foot
industrial-grade flex hose. 800/945-8378; www.superiorsignal.com.

VIVAX-METROTECH SPAR300
The Spar300 utility surveying system from VivaxMetrotech collects positions in the site coordinates
with a package that adapts to a range pole, ATV,
riverboat or pushcart. It continuously logs the utility depth and offset, with statistical confidence and
automatic offset calculations. Using a Bluetooth or
USB link, the instrument outputs the 3-D positions
to a Trimble TSC3 or tablet for real-time display on
the Trimble Access map, independent of its own perspective with respect to the utility or the GNSS antenna. When a complex locate scenario is encountered, it applies automatic tolerance masks to the position data, flagging these areas on the map. 800/446-3392 www.vxmt.com.

NOZZLES

HYDRA-FLEX SWITCHBLADE
AND RIPSAW
Switchblade static, zero-degree and Ripsaw
rotating nozzles from Hydra-Flex have improved impingement
and stream quality to allow operators to dig faster and use dramatically less
water to ensure greater job site efficiency. The heavy-duty, high-impact nozzles operate at up to 3,200 psi and are constructed with stainless steel housings and tungsten carbide wear surfaces. Both are designed to withstand
harsh environments and provide long life. A nonconductive urethane coating on the nozzle body extends the life of the nozzle, while protecting the
safety of the user and sensitive underground assets. A range of flow rates and
spray patterns are available for applications such as potholing and trenching. 952/808-3640; www.hydraflexinc.com.

NOZZTEQ MANTA
BOTTOM CLEANER
The Manta Bottom Cleaner from NozzTeq
includes interior surfaces and interchangeable rear jetting plates made of stainless steel
and ceramic parts designed to stand up to
hard water and grit. The 50-plus-pound nozzle slides
on wide runners that are replaceable, and stays on the bottom of large-diameter pipes, where it will do the most good. Its bottom surface will never
wear out. Its jetting plate is interchangeable and replaceable, and comes in
eight-, 10- and 12-jet configurations. 866/620-5915; www.nozzteq.com.

DUKES ROOT CONTROL

RAZOROOTER II
Diquat-based Razorooter II rootcontrol herbicide from Dukes Root
Control is registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for controlling nuisance tree roots in sanitary
sewer line collections systems, and received a classification of evidence of
noncarcinogenicity for humans. In 2014, the EPA further approved an amendment of labels to lower the signal word from warning to caution. Crews insert a hose from manhole to manhole, preparing to fill the affected sewer pipe
with herbicide. The foam is released, compressing against pipe surfaces and
penetrating cracks, joints and connecting sewers. Roots are killed on contact,
decay naturally and slough away. Application is designed to prevent root-related stoppages for two to three years. 800/447-6687; www.dukes.com.

LENZYME/
TRAP-CLEER FOAMING
ROOT CONTROL
Foaming root control from Lenzyme/
Trap-Cleer has double the dichlobenil active ingredient of previous solutions and a latex base that helps it stick

TOWER LIGHT FROM

MILWAUKEE TOOL KEEPS
JOB SITES ILLUMINATED
AND SAFE
Every pumper has late-night emergency calls. A
customers septic system backed up and they need
the tank pumped immediately. Its important that
the pumping technician effectively light the job site
for safety. The M18 Rocket LED Tower Light/
Charger from Milwaukee Tool will do that.
With setup in five seconds, the tower provides
3,000 lumens of high-output light for both
task and area lighting, and can charge any
M18 battery through a built-in charger.
The M18 Rocket Tower Light has the
capability to provide high-intensity task and area lighting in any environment
where there is no ready access to AC power, or where it can be dangerous to
string cords due to present water, says Jason Isaacs, product manager for Milwaukee Tool. For pumping or portable sanitation professionals who frequently
move from job site to job site, the portability of the M18 Rocket is huge. It can
collapse down to 40 inches for easy transport and storage.
The unit delivers multidirectional light through three independently rotating,
adjustable light heads. It has a runtime of up to 17 hours with TRUEVIEW Technology to deliver a consistent beam, optimized color temperature and true representation of colors and detail, leading to a more productive work area. Its rotating and
pivoting light head extends from 4 to 7 feet to light overhead work or minimize
shadows when casting light downward.
Its been clear for years that temporary lighting was a major obstacle for productivity and safety, says Isaacs. Logging hundreds of hours on the job site, we
interact with users on a daily basis to learn about their frustrations and ideas. This
drives us to develop solutions professionals truly want and need to perform their
job productively.
The unit has an AC/DC input with an integrated M18 Charger. When plugged
in, this charger can charge all M18 battery packs so users can quickly get back
to the job at hand and have a battery ready to go when they need it. Its impactresistant, reinforced legs and low center of gravity provide a stable base. A
durable polycarbonate lens design can survive harsh job site use, delivers impact
durability, and the light heads nest into a protective shroud. Additionally, with an
IPX4 rating, the unit is water resistant.
We saw a huge opportunity to deliver a versatile and durable solution that
professionals have not had before, says Isaacs.
800/729-3878; www.milwaukeetool.com.

COXREELS added the PC19 and

PC24 to its Underwriters Laboratories-approved product line.
The PC (Power Cord) Series are
industrial-grade reels designed
as a solution to tangled power
cords. They feature 1/4-inch bases, lubricated precision bearings and noncorrosive stainless steel springs for
retraction. 800/269-7335; www.coxreels.com.

GUZZLER
VACUUM TRUCK
The LR (Liquid Ring) Classic
vacuum truck from Guzzler
Manufacturing is designed to
provide
lower-temperature
discharge and quieter operation. Based on the Guzzler
Classic truck platform, the LR Classic features dual 1,820 cfm liquid ring
pumps as the vacuum source instead of a blower. The vacuum system operates from more than 1,000 feet away, through suction lines up to 8 inches in
diameter, and features an 18-cubic-yard debris body. The filtration system
consists of a radial deflector, a cyclone centrifugal separator and 60 70-inchlong Dacron bags. 800/627-3171; www.guzzler.com.
