New Mini Bulk Tank from Univar

Michael Derose · SoftWash Systems Certified Applicator

That's awesome bob. Good luck with it. Should be a huge time saver and money saver as well.

John Aloisio · SoftWash Systems 5-Star Professional

Great stuff Bob. You will definitely love how fresh and strong the SH is. I have he same tank fir just ove a year now and the price savings is great.

Wow, that dog will hunt!

I was really surprised when my Univar rep told how long the 53 gal. drums can sit before they are shipped. Very honest guy!

He also set me up with Grainger for the safety shower, and got me the Univar discount through Grainger. I don't know if all reps are like that, but I couldn't be happier with how easily this process has gone.

I met the GM for the mid Atlantic also. His name is Sam Allen, real nice guy. Told me how many SWS events he has attended and about AC's connection to Univar.

Makes me feel good about possibly getting SWS points through Univar one day. I see this happening.

Also found out Univar will be moving into the Pacific NW this spring.

Chad Eneix · SoftWash Systems Authorized Professional

Good for you, Bob! I also am having one installed this spring, though not as big. I'm putting in a 250 gallon. I am going to be trying to move to CH more, due to costs here. Form Univar, in bulk, I will still be paying $4.10/gallon. This is almost a buck better than I was paying for 55's last year, though.

Bob Riddick · SoftWash Systems 5-Star Professional

Their pricing is up and down all over the country. We were at $2.72 per gal. in drums. And will be at $2.13 in bulk. I see what you're up against Chad.

I wonder if SWS could reign this in if they were able to strike a deal with Univar?

Any thing to add, AC?

Yes Bob.

I will contact Univar next week to look into centralized pricing and billing through the shopping cart system.

Mistype with fat fingers on iPad.... 2400 not 3400

I looked at the feasibility of this and Bleach is a commodity and not really good for us to get into right now. However I will work on a SAWS in-network discount with Univar for our in-network companies.

I get great pricing down here but I would love to do the mini bulk just from a time standpoint. I waited in line for 20 minutes to pay for my bleach last time, not counting driving there. Heck, I would hang some soap on that shower and use it after a hard days work Bob :)

Bob, got our tank last week, a 550 gal, finally getting everything setup.

Can't wait to get earn tabs on my next fill

Brian,

Running the bleach through us will not be feasible. However we will work with Univar to see what kind of special program we can drive to help you all save some money. So as of now no points on bleach.
