Why do I do what I do?
​
My family.  Point blank.  MY FAMILY!

I have been married twelve years to the love of my life.  We have three children, from ages six to twenty!  

Having a wife that supports my business bent and adventuresome spirit is a life-changer.  Every man should be so blessed.

I work a lot.  I work hard.  I am a go-getter.  I am an entrepreneur. 

I want the best, but its really not about me.  It is more about them than me!  I get a lot of joy thinking that my serving passion through business results in good things for their lives.  

They matter supremely to me.  They are my motivation.  

I do what I do for my family.  

What are your biggest motivators?  I would love to know.  

Hit me up at sales@thebackflowcover.com and fill me in!

Happy Holidays!
​Thanks for reading!

How Much Is Too Much For An Insulated Quality Backflow Cover?

12/8/2020

0 Comments

 
Just this last week I talked to a customer who needed a very large insulated backflow cover.  He had some “sticker-shock” when I quoted him a price.  He wasn’t expecting to spend so much.  His need was for a very large cover.  

Which brings up a very great question:  How much is too much for a quality insulated backflow cover?  Let's talk about it...

It was more pricey than what he was expecting.  He didn’t buy.  But, here’s what he didn’t understand.  
  1. He didn’t understand the quality of our cover.  We use synthetic insulation instead of the old fiberglass which comes apart and separates over time, reducing its capacity to insulate.  The outer shell is a rugged, UV and fire-resistant vinyl fabric, stitched together with heavy-duty double stitched mini-rope!
  2. He will be replacing a cheaper cover much sooner, making his costs even higher.  In the end he will pay more.

IF the backflow device cover you are buying lasts two, and even three times longer than a cheaper version, EVEN THOUGH THE INITIAL COST IS HIGHER, IT COULD COST YOU LESS IN THE LONG RUN.

So, how much is too much to pay for a quality insulated backflow cover?  The answer:  Consider how long a cheaper version is going to last you!

​Let's talk, email me, be informed!

When Should I Have A Backflow Cover?

12/1/2020

A very common question I get is, when should I have a backflow cover?  My response is always the same:  IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLATION OF YOUR BACKFLOW PREVENTER!  

I always advise clients and potential clients that covering their device will improve on its longevity.   Why does this matter? Because repairs are costly, freeze damaged housing is extremely costly to replace.  Here in Florida, it takes $650 to $1,000 to replace a residential back flow preventer.  Spending a little bit now saves a LOT in the long run.  

I have found that people are VERY quick to buy a back flow cover AFTER they have a problem.  AND, by then, they are sorry.  How many times has a customer said, “I wish I would have talked to you sooner.”    I have advised customers who didn’t listen, only for them to return, realizing the mistake they made, AND the money it cost them.

When Should I Cover My Backflow Preventer?

11/24/2020

Most people think a back flow cover is only for winter time.  But, I tell my customers to leave it on ALL YEAR LONG!!

They are glad to hear it!  When I tell them that they can set it and forget it, they are ecstatic!  

Most people wonder if leaving the back flow cover on through all the seasons is OK?  

Not only it is ok, but preferable.  Keeping your cover on all year keeps your back flow preventer from taking the brunt of the elements.  Instead of wearing your expensive device out, allow your back flow cover to do what it was made to do:  Take on the elements!

When should I cover my back flow preventer?  ALL YEAR!

The REAL Cost of NOT Having A Backflow Cover

11/17/2020

If you are lucky, your backflow can be repaired after freeze damage... Hope you caught that... IF you are lucky.

If you are lucky, and the technician can fix it, it will cost you a couple of hundred bucks. If you are unlucky... You will have to have it replaced FOR A WHOLE LOT MORE!

Not to mention... When your backflow device freezes, it will be on a very cold morning when you and your family did not plan on being without water.  

Great backflow covers protect against freezing and allow you a worry-free winter!

I have had customers call me up and tell me how their backflow device and my cover were covered in freezing snow yet their device was still working wonderfully.  

The real cost of NOT having a backflow cover? Can be quite high!

All Backflow Covers Are NOT Created Equal

11/10/2020

You can buy cheaper backflow covers.

But, you cannot buy better backflow covers.

What's the difference?

Cheaper backflow covers don't last half as long as quality backflow covers.   Our backflow covers are made from a very tough mesh fabric coated with vinyl making it waterproof with high resistance to dirt, mildew, oil, salt, chemicals, and destructive UV rays.

Cheaper backflow covers don't give your backflow device overall protection from the elements.  The outer shell breaks down quickly, which causes your insulation to break down, which means your backflow device is not protected against the elements. This leaves your device susceptible to damage, needing repair, or even replacement.

Uhmm... NOT, 

All backflow covers are decidedly not created equal!

Why Have A Backflow Cover?

11/3/2020

Customers often ask me why they should invest in quality backflow covers? I give them a couple of reasons...

1.  FREEZE PROTECTION
  1. When your valve freezes, you will be without water until it thaws.
  1. The backflow device will often need to be replaced; the cost could be high; Two-three times the cover price.


2. SUN/HEAT PROTECTION

With a great back flow cover, the cover takes the beating.  The backflow cover is absorbing all the destructive UV rays from the sun. 
The internal components of your device last longer.  And, a longer lasting device means you save money in the long run!

When A Cheaper Backflow Cover Costs You More

10/27/2020

Picture
Most people don't understand that not all backflow covers are created equal.

Many backflow covers use cheaper construction materials and the outside elements quickly degrade and break down.

A recent customer contacted me after having purchased a cheaper backflow cover a couple of years prior. The outside shell had broken down, degraded by the outdoor elements. The insulation on the inside had been exposed, causing it to fall apart. And, the cover was filling with water. It was an eyesore, lost its ability to protect the backflow it was covering, and now it must be replaced.

THIS DIDN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN!

We have backflow covers all over the U.S. that were installed decades ago: THEY ARE STILL IN OPERATION AND HAVE EVEN MORE YEARS IN THEM!

Our backflow covers cost more upfront. But they last 3, 4 or even 5 times longer than our competitors.

I know what you're thinking... A CHEAPER BACKFLOW COVER COULD POTENTIALLY COST ME SO MUCH MORE!!

EXACTLY WHAT I AM SAYING!
