I was doing fire damage cleaning for a company that repaired/cleaned fire
damaged homes and their contents. I must have charged to much cause they
spent 15-20,000 bucks on something like a bathtub. Apparently it uses a
combination of water and chemicals, and sonic? vibration? I haven't had a
call from them yet to fix one that died after being baptized. I would have
to assume that it's kills them on a regular basis. I don't see how you
could completly submerge a tv, cabinent and all without having some damage.
According to them, they can put all most anything in it. I would have
thought they just wanted to ditch me for some illegals that would do the
same work for half the price, (No way I could live in the same house as my
in-laws) But I actually got to see the unit. It wasn't anything special to
look at.
