Proper maintenance and watering are important factors in maximizing the performance and life of your flooded batteries. Many jan/san companies often overlook these tasks, considering them costly, time-consuming and messy. Trojan's HydroLink Single-Point Watering System can turn your biggest maintenance nightmare into a simple, effective method to improve your battery's performance.

• It's convenient. HydroLink is available pre-installed on your Trojan Batteries (regular 6V, 8V or 12V golf size batteries) or can be installed with a simple snap of the watering tube connection into each HydroLink system.
• It's fast. HydroLink can fill a complete set of batteries in less than 30 seconds!
• It's precise. HydroLink is designed to accurately signal when your battery needs water, automatically shut off valves to prevent overfilling, and prevent internal and external flames with dual flame arresters.

IBS Services Group, a large commercial cleaning operation in Long Island City and Manhattan, has relied on ProTeam backpack vacuums exclusively for over 20 years.

"We've achieved really excellent results. I wouldn't even make a comparison," says Owen O'Mahony, vice president of IBS. "I'd say we cover 7,000 to 8,000 square feet an hour on average. Once people are trained properly, they can vacuum up to 12,000 to 13,000 square feet an hour."

Studies show that ProTeam backpacks cover ground more than three times faster and 43 percent more effectively than a commercial upright. A ProTeam backpack saves up to $5,280 a year in productivity costs in a 10,000-square-foot facility and up to $52,800 in a 100,000-square-foot facility — all while improving indoor air quality.

The ProTeam design also reduces moving parts and motor damage, has an easily accessible tool belt, and allows for a natural, ergonomic range of motion for the operator.

Capital Hotel and Hospitality Services Inc., cleans high-end hotels, restaurants and other large facilities in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and northern Virginia. One challenge that they were facing in many of their facilities was keeping grout clean in the restrooms. John Marino, owner and president, saw a demonstration of Buckeye Marauder and was convinced it was the product they were looking for.

"Marauder does a great job of cleaning tile and whitening grout," Marino states.

Additionally, the company was searching for the best possible cleaner and disinfectant to use in restroom cleaning. Buckeye Terminator is the solution for both cleaning and disinfecting in one step.

Now they are able to clean and disinfect in one step, saving them a significant amount of time. Another benefit of Buckeye Terminator is that it has a kill claim for MRSA, a major concern in many facilities.
