Attention Caliber Users!

Just a question, and I don't know if it's my imagination, but do your lots seem to dry quicker then your competitions? Since I started using Caliber this season, I noticed that not only were my lots melting faster, that they also seemed to be dryer, with a white film on the pavement. :feedback

YEP, that is the way it seems to work for me too. I have about 2 miles of private road in an upscale neighborhood. I have been using regular magnesium chloride solution for 3 years. They wanted something more "environmentally friendly" so we stepped up to Caliber. I can put it down a little thinner and have it do a good job. It also seems to work at a lower temp.
Good stuff IMHO...:D

Caliber tends to impress me. After January which averaged 10C below normal and daily snows of an 1or 2", my lots didn't develop any packed snow, and when we did get sun they were the 1st ones bare. Yesterday we got freezing rain to rain and back to a few snow showers in the evening, I didn't have to salt any of my lots this morning, or yesterday, and mine were bare and by 11 am dry and a white film on them! As most of my contracts are seasonal I love it.
The best part is the only special equipment I purchased was a barrel pump and a plastic mop bucket. I just count the number of turns of the barrel pump handle ( 28 = 8 liters. about a 2 gallons), and I pour that on over the salt loaded in the spreader (trynex 1875) 525 lbs. The auger mixes the salt and caliber, and very little leaks out. This also works really well with the Trackless drop spreader, except it holds about 1300 lbs, so we dump about 5 gals on it. The biggest difference between Caliber and Magic is the Caliber seems to travel through the salt like penetrating oil, and is of a consistence mixture. Great product.
