sideline for rainy days
« on: March 24, 2008, 03:18:10 pm »
With the weather bad for weeks in the winter have any of you come up with a way of earning extra money on the side

I have often thought about selling reverse osmosis units to our customers and people in general for drinking water. When canvasing for w/c you could post a flyer for the r/o at the same time. The units are easy to install and  our experience with purified water might help.
Your thoughts on this subject would be welcome.

My thoughts exactly, all you'd really need to do then is sell them the brush and youve hung yourself.

Why would a person buy a RO, they can get a filter cheaper, side libe for your job when it is raining is going out there and get wet, I know many people dont and they only dont because they dont like getting wet we are all probramed this way, same as customers,

Didn't think you could drink pure water?

seems to be a misunderstanding the units i am talking are usually fitted under the kitchen sink and would not produce enough water for w/c. these are designed for drinking water. but I can see what you mean.

most of you do gutter and sofit cleaning. another idea is gutter repairs lot easier than cleaning gutters and a nice little earner
