Water Treatment
What would be the best strategy & (low cost) to start a Plumbing/Water Treatment Business in the Atlanta area?
Looking for a jump start into the Plumbing Service/repair business in Atlanta. Currently in my third year running a Plumbing Service business (Licensed Plumber/Contractor) here in Chicago Suburbs. Also have certifications in Water Treatment, water purification and backflow prevention.
One aspect of plumbing that always seemed like a great start-up to me (since I saw it done in MA):
Hot-water heater replacements. That’s it. All you do. So you stock maybe 4 or 6 models. Travel with 3 in your van and the basic copper and CPVC pipe and fittings to install one. And a really good dolly with a ratcheting strap. And who needs or wants a store-front anymore? A cellphone and voicemail is all you need.
And here’s the slam-dunk if you have some money to invest: Offer rental HWHs. Like $12/month. You’re into for the wholesale cost ($100 or so) plus a few parts and labor. You make back your capital in less than a year. And every year thereafter. For 10, 20 years or more. Because some people don’t have retail price + parts + labor ($350?) laying around. And even more people would rather spend that on a new wide-screen TV and pay you $12/month forever. Even landlords – they might just hang it on to the rent and save themselves the up-front costs.
Bust your butt until the rental income exceeds your income needs, do a 2-3 more years of part time and then retire.
Because whoever needs a HWH replaced, needs it NOW!
Obivously you want a good contract drawn up. And you need to (emotionally) accept that some 5% will welch on you and another 15-20% will go bad over the years. A cost of doing business.
I talked about this with a very good CPA and he was sure one could take it to the bank (literally). It pencils out as a very solid business proposal.
Is it safe to use Chloras in a Water Treatment Filter?
We live in a very hard water area and have problems with sediment in our water, we have been now been told to put one cup of Chloras (which contains sodium hypochlorite) in our water treatment filter a day. Is this water safe to drink?
