Green with envy

Have new invention that can conserve millions of gallons of fresh water and can not understand why the industry has yet to pick up this method!

Would like any input as to the old method of ANSI/OSHA A92.2; versus Drilightning® testing method? For informationabout this revolutionary product, please visit drilightning.com.

After having a look at your website all I can say is I don't know where you got a figure of millions of gallons of water being used for high voltage testing.

I am putting this one down as product spam. Anyone second?

Each testing session using a portable water tank that holds over 650 gallons to fill with over 120,000 bucket truck liners in use, you do the math.

These figures were found during research through Utility products public and private statistics, magazines.

Have you concidered the safety factor? Would this change your thoughts?

Without looking at the standard (which I don't have in front of me), your saying that a full tank of water (over 650 gallons) is required to test a single bucket truck liner. That seems very wasteful to me. I would have thought that a more suitably shaped water chamber would be more suitable for saving water.

I guess the big question everyone will ask is, is you device approved to any standards, because from your website, the absence of any information regarding this indicates that it isn't. If it isn't, then perhaps you should get it approved before you try and sell it. I don't know about America but the lines companies down here are very fussy about that sort of thing and would not go near it. This is not a gimmick product you know, it is an important safety testing device for a niche market!

Are you in the process of getting the device approved?

Our testing method meets OHSA A92.2 standard.ISO IEEE CSA have all my information and were suppose to have a discussion

Our product is a part of Von Corporation's bucket truck certification training class;Using both AC & DC testing equipment.

manufacturer's and safety testing laboratories use self contained large multi liner chambers that recycle, filter,water. Liners come in many different shapes and sizes.my kit can contain a set to fit any modern and most older liner sizes that may still be in operation.

I cannot comment on the quantity wasted but can add that even millions of gallons could be considered as minimal if compared against bigger water users.

The irrigation of one ha could use between 3000 to 15000 cubic meter (1 to 4 million gal) of water a year (depending on crop, climate, system etc). A saving of even 1% due to some or other improvement can do wonders.

As for using clean water were grey water should have been used. The reality is that is is not readily available.

But if the service / product can be delivered at a reasonable competitive price GO FOR IT.

I expect that you have not proven that your product is cheaper or better than the standard approach, and that is the reason why industry has yet to pick up this method.

Also, until it is in ANSI as a valid alternative you will have trouble selling it.
