Solution
Thompson’s high volume hydroblasting with big pump.
Result
The cleaning was completely faster than any other method or provider had been able to prior. The customer noted that this decanting style bottom is not something that can usually be cleaned in 12 hours or less, stating, “it has been my experience working with the Big Pump technology that to accomplish the final cleaning in 12 hours most owners have pumped the smelt pools. I have no issue with not pumping smelt, but everyone should be prepared for duration longer than 12 hours. If it can be cleaned in 12 hours, I would bet on Big Pump to be the technology that can do it.”
