Cautic or Powerstroke?

[MHasterok]

Looking to see what is more cost effective. I currently use caustic, and mostly do flatwork at restaurants. I pay $55 locally for a 50lb bag. I usually mix about 1 cup per gallon.

Looking into Powerstroke. Any of you that use it, let me know how it works for you on grease. What amounts do you mix? Downstream & pump sprayer. I saw Envirospec has 55 gal drums for $239, I think with free shipping. I have a few customers that want earth friendly products, but I need them to be just as effective as caustic.

I have used both. In my opinion the Power Stroke works well but not as well as the caustic and not as cost effective. IMO

Thanks Mark. Any good fishing trips lately? Man I miss living near the ocean!

I have used power stoke for a few year at my restaurants. I been using caustic on the heavy stuff . Starting to use alot more because the caustic is only 19.00 for 50lb bag.

E-Spec sells drum kits for around $150 for PowerStroke. The kit actually makes two 55's of downstream strength solution, so it's pretty cheap. I can put my hand on a bucket of Powerstroke, but caustic would sting a bit. We use both regularly.
