About Bag Filters   by Ross G

You might use a filter, but it’s probable you are oblivious they come in many different shapes and sizes, one being in the form of a bag filter. Many applications use filtration bags as a standard.

Liquid bag filters are generally used as a less costly way to take out bulk solids from specific applications. These applications can be coolant filtration, paint strainers; many water pre-filter applications, and ink filtration.

There are a variety of different bag filter options. They generally come in two shapes, welded and sewn, and each has several unique end configurations. Standard bags are the average application of bag filters, but many custom bags are out there for several different filtering needs and applications.

Which type of filter bag you use depends on the application. Temperature, chemistry, and particle size all factor in when choosing one. A large number of filter bags are made from polypropylene felt, so that is a awesome place to start. A lot of people will go with polyester felt for hot temperature applications. For the extremely demanding forms, you should use absolute rated nylon mesh, or NMO.
If you find yourself purchasing a bag filter and not getting the endurance of the bag you’d like, it’s probably because you’ve misjudged the workload of the filter. An extreme working filter has its life abbreviated, and is not determined by hours used or gallons used. Bags that filter clean water could last as long as a year, while one filtering mud could last as little as a three minutes. It all requires the application. Also, a fresh bag may appear new to a standard viewer, but in the closer view of a microscope, it may be more extreme than first imagined.

To know when to change bags, identify the inlet pressure. As its surface area is used up, the pressure rises across the bag. When the pressure rises faster, the bag is used up and should be changed. Bags don’t have a identifiable rule, but generally, you should get a new bag when you see an 8-12 PSI drop.

Water Test

Residents want answers after contaminated water discovered   by Peter Gubbe

Winnebago County officials and anxious residents are awaiting results taken from well water in an area surrounding the 1200 block of Soper Avenue in Rockford. Officials are hoping the 21 additional samples taken recently will help them determine the depth and origin of the groundwater pollution that was discovered at the end of July.
Residents in and around the affected area cling to the hope that they are not living above a toxic dump site.
“This is horrible,” said Manuel Lopez, 38, who owns the home at 1223 Soper Ave. A distinct odor of gasoline emanated from the kitchen sink Monday morning. Lopez said his wife drank tap water months ago, and got sick and was taken to the hospital for tests after experiencing vomiting and nausea, he said.
“We cannot use it anymore,” he said, adding that his family with three children must go out of the house to bathe and must drink bottled water inside.
Across the street at 1214 Soper, homeowner Sharon Rush said she switched to city water years ago after seeing orange-colored water coming out of her tap.
“Before we got city water, it smelled,” she said. Rush, who said she paid $4,800 to connect to city lines, said she plans legal action.
According to Winnebago County Health Department officials, between 180 and 200 homes are in the testing area for well contamination. Another 30 homes in that area are connected to city water lines and are not in play in their investigation, officials said. After two samples taken from wells in July came up positive for contamination, an additional 21 wells were tested, and three samples from each well were surveyed.
The goal of taking 21 additional samples is to identify how large an area is affected, by how many pollutants and by what strength. Gasoline, benzene and other cancer-causing chemicals were discovered from original testing done at two locations.
Larry Swacina, director of Environmental Health Services for the Winnebago County Health Department, said it is hoped the sampling from 21 additional wells will determine “the depth of wells and the groundwater flow to determine the size and source of the contamination.”
Swacina said direction of the flow will be key in determining the source. Gas stations have been located nearby, and the Amerock plant was operated only a few hundred yards away. The Mobil station formerly on the corner of Johnston Avenue and Auburn Street has been cited in the past for environmental abuse.
“That Mobil has a past record of leakage of 600 gallons of product,” Swacina said.
Because it is a known carcinogen, the use of benzene as a gasoline additive is limited, but it is an important industrial solvent and precursor to basic industrial chemicals including drugs, plastics, synthetic rubber and dyes.
Swacina said his department is treating the testing “like a criminal investigation. The profile is consistent with gasoline, but we won’t know until we get the results back,” Swacina added. “We notified a large area to be on the safe side.”
Testing was being handled through the Rockford Regional Office of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The Rockford office services nine northwest counties. Clayton Simonson, environmental health supervisor for the Rockford office, said results could be back soon. “Could be today,” he said Monday, when asked about the 21 samples.
The Winnebago County Health Department circulated informational fliers after the original two samples came back from the neighborhood bounded by Cottonwood Airport to the west, Alliance Avenue to the east, Auburn Street to the south, and to the end of the roads between Alliance Avenue and the Cottonwood Airport. Then, they held an informational meeting for residents the first week of August at Northwest Community Center.
Renter Nicole Clark, who lives next door to Lopez at 1225 Soper, was one of the homes in the latest set of samples. She said she signed a waiver to have samples taken. She also said she was told at the town meeting that her house was uninhabitable and that she should leave.
“We haven’t told anyone to relocate,” Swacina said.
Simonson added, “I don’t believe anyone has been told that.”
Because the county health department has limited funds, testing can’t be done at every home, Swacina said. He said the 21 samples were strategically spaced in the area to get a clear picture of the size and source.
Up a slight hill from 1223 and 1225 is homeowner Joyce Larkins at 1207 Soper, who said her water doesn’t smell, but the threat of contamination is still a concern. She said her water was tested two years ago when she moved in, and it passed. On the other side of Clark and Lopez to the north lies the home of Herbert Hyatte at 1233, who said his wife has smelled odors at times from the faucets. “But I’ve owned this house for 30 years, so I don’t worry about it,” he said.
For those residents who want their own results, independent testing can be done. American Pure Water on Forest Hills Road is one such business that sends its water testing samples to National Testing Laboratories. A complete panel runs around $300. Federal standards for water are provided by the federal Environmental Protection Agency office and are posted online.
The regional office will report the results to local residents at another meeting, Simonson said. Any action taken against the alleged perpetrator would be handled at the state level, he added.
“We are here to protect the health and safety of the people,” Simonson said.
Finding the source may provide only consolation to nearby residents.
Nicole Clark said her husband started smelling gasoline from the faucet a week before the county came to test her water. She said her family, which includes four children ages 20 months to 17 years old, have been drinking bottled water since June.
“But we were still bathing in it,” she said. “It smells horrible.”
Clark has since left her home. She said her health started to deteriorate in the past year.
“I have been in and out of the hospital, and I’m a young, fit person and try to take care of myself,” Clark said. She said she has been having headaches and vomiting. Clark said she took her youngest to have blood tests, and those were negative. She plans to have tests by a medical specialist in Chicago who tests for long-term exposure to benzene. The acceptable limit by federal standards is 5 parts per billion for benzene.
“We tested 900 parts per billion,” Clark said of the original two samples taken in the neighborhood. Simonson said because of HIPAA privacy statutes, he can’t release results from individual homes.
The future for residents could involve being hooked up to city water lines.
“We would hope to get the source responsible to pay for the houses to be hooked up to city water,” Swacina said.
Clark said her Arlington Heights property owner and landlord won’t return her calls. She’s trying to retrieve her security deposit and August rent so she can use it to find another place to live.
“Right now, we’re just trying to keep our heads above water,” she said.

First Storm In A Boat   by William L. Gills Aka Bos’n Bill

Dad had given me permission to take a rowboat, a three horsepower Evinrude and two friends, Doug and Steve out fishing for a few hours. That summer day we decided to take an afternoon out on the Northeast fork of the Great Sacandaga Lake, angling for large mouth bass. The air was heavy and damp, the sun breaking through the clouds, enough to make it uncomfortably hot. We pulled up a makeshift anchor, a ten inch hunk of cinderblock on an anchor line of fraying braided cotton and dropped it into the bow of a fourteen foot wooden rowboat. Expressing confidence we could handle any situation that might come our way, like maybe a sinking boat, we agreed to go beyond the limits set by my dad.

It was pretty easy going, waves following us as we cruised as fast as a three horse powerhead could carry us. Anchored thirty yards off Placid Point, Doug plucked earthworms from small carton of mulch, one for each of us. We threaded our worms as quickly as we could, each of us hoping for the first catch of the day and the biggest fish in the lake. We sat there for about two hours without any luck when we heard a faint rumble of thunder somewhere in the valleys of the Adirondack Mountains. We continued fishing. The deal was we’d leave as soon as somebody had a nibble.

Suddenly, the sky turned a deep blue and we could see flashes of light blanching the sky over the steep mountains to starboard. The storm was bearing down on us fast. “Steve, pull up the anchor, we gotta get outta here!”

We reeled in our lines without securing hooks which dangled and swirled in the ever increasing wind. A brilliant flash of light caught us by surprise as the air crackled, followed by a sonic boom which reverberated in the canyon between the surrounding mountains, disturbing the water beneath us. Nickel sized droplets of rain fell heavy graying the blue water around us; the wind becoming ferocious.

Anchor drawn, I pulled on the starter chord, adrenaline kicking in when I realized it might not start. I stood there looking to the oars. “We’re going to have to start rowing you guys or we’ll be blown downwind toward the dam!” Doug didn’t hesitate. We were losing ground fast in the brisk wind and oncoming short troughed, steep crested waves.

I pulled the cord one more time with a sputter. It’s got to start. There’s no reason why it shouldn’t. Did I forget something? I choked the motor and made sure the gas fill was getting air and tried again. This time I gave it my best tug and it snapped to attention.

Buckets of water were coming into the boat over the bow and port forward quarter as we pointed home. Steve shifted to the rowing seat next to Doug to get the weight balanced, bow up. They were using the bailer we had aboard; one lone paint can passed between them to keep up with the flood of water that was threatening to scuttle us.

I thought about that possibility as I squinted into the wind and blinding rain to get a bead on the next wave, the shoreline and our forward progress. As I went to glance over Doug’s left shoulder I noticed a torrent of water running down his drenched forehead, off his nose onto the rowing seat and swamped floorboards. We were moving ahead very slowly, almost as if we were in chains, the boat a third full of water. We were losing the battle.

By this time, we were in life jackets with the ties still loosened. There was no time to tend to them; we had waited too long and underestimated the power of a thunderstorm. Explosions of light continued to harass with a dazzling, frightening display of blue lightening. The air turned cold and hail pelted us with BB shot. We were soaked, shivering and tired from the strain and futility of bailing, but we continued on, lamenting and grousing with occasional bursts of displaced laughter.

As the wind eventually petered to a strong breeze and the waves were no longer capped in white, we felt relief in the knowledge that we were going to make it to home soon and that we collectively endured our first, worst storm ever, vowing never to make the mistake of granting a thunderstorm permission sneak up on us AND granting them, that is each and every one of them from then on, the respect they deserve (emphasis added).

Doug and Steve continued to bail, but their ardor was less as we steered toward the shore and home, the boat resting in the sand in the shallows. We pulled her up as high as we could, stretching the anchor line as far up the beach as it would reach.

We were soaked and exhausted and related our story to our parents as one voice. We agreed not to say anything about going to Placid Point or that we delayed in donning our life jackets. Other than that, everything was fair game for story fodder and still is. We sealed the pact in worm blood.

I love boating like music, always have. I haven’t figured out what the allure is, but it’s always been there and like music, it’s captivated me from an early age. I love being outdoors, in the back yard, in the woods, on a ski slope, but mostly on the water.

Sony SLT-A35 Digital SRL Camera – The Beginner’s Camera Choice   by Lilly D. Coppinger

The Sony SLT-A35 was rated one of 2012′s best entry level Digital SLR cameras. This camera is one of Sony’s Single Lens Translucent (SLT) designs. This lens transmits 66.66% of the light to the CMOS sensor and 33.33 per cent of it to a tiny electronic display built into the camera’s roof. This model incorporates almost all the features of the original A33 and A55, but includes an improved 16.2MP EXMOR APS-C CMOS sensor and handful of extra processing options. The chip has been redesigned to improve power consumption, and improved thermal performance. The camera has an aerodynamic look to it with smooth edges.

Sony’s new sensor offers sharply-detailed, low-noise still and HD video images. The camera’s powerful processor optimizes image data, insuring sharp, crisp images with rich, natural color reproduction. A maximum sensitivity of ISO 12800 and extension to ISO 25600 allows natural still images and HD video in low light.

Sony has successfully offered live view without compromising their fast autofocus system. The SLT has an electronic viewfinder, it doesn’t have a movable mirror to direct light up to the viewfinder. Instead, it uses a fixed, semi-transparent mirror to provide light to the focusing sensor, allowing light through to the imaging sensor. This is an automatic live view camera that gives fast autofocus, and the actions of the camera are the same whether you’re using the eye-level viewfinder or the rear screen for viewing. When you move your eye from the large LCD at the camera’s rear to the eye level viewfinder you view the action via the smaller LCD. What you get is full time live view. This is a small, relatively inexpensive beginner’s camera and one of the favorites in its class.

Features:

*.1080i 60 video.

* 1.4x magnification at 7 frames per second.

* 8.4MP (a 1.4x crop from the middle of the sensor that Sony is calling Tele-zoom. High Speed Shooting).

Marine Pellets

Cleaner Shrimp Guide   by Indy

A very regular offering in the trade, the scarlet cleaner shrimp is found in many pet stores almost all of the time. They are heavily collected from the Indo-Pacific plus are a mainstay in the marine tank trade. Its scientific name is Lysmata Amboinensis.

Extremely well-liked with hobbyists, most have had them in the past as well as probably at present as well. They are reasonably priced primarily because they are easily collected in numbers. They are a tough shrimp that acclimate well to life in an aquarium.

The cleaner shrimp gets its name from the service it performs in their natural habitats. Just like their shy cousins, the fire shrimp, they aggressively inspect the bodies of fishes for parasites to eat. Because of this, most bigger predators do not devour these shrimp.

However, this doesn’t occur all the time. Lionfish, Triggerfish plus smaller cat sharks will all devour the cleaner shrimp if given a chance. Fortunately, many fish understand the job of this shrimp in addition to would rather approach them with a clean up instead. This behavior is replicated in the saltwater tank, making them an exceptional addition.

Besides parasites, they also eat a broad mixture of meaty foods. Pellets, frozen foods, flake foods are all readily eaten. Should it chance upon an amphipod or munnid isopod, those are fair game as well.

Pellets produced by New Life Spectrum are good a great option for a sinking pellet. However, if a cheaper brand of pellet food is given, they will live just fine. Ensure it is fed a good blend of food for diversity.

Many have successfully bred the scarlet cleaner shrimp in captivity. Pairing them yourself is a basic task. All that is needed is to put two shrimp in the same tank. They are hermaphrodites that are able to change sex depending on to the situation. That means any two have the potential to pair up plus mate.

When a pair has been established, they will routinely spawn in the aquarium. To the familiar hobbyist, raising the larvae would prove daunting as the food as well as water quality essential for such an endeavor is difficult to obtain.

What do butterflies eat?   by Piedro Molinero

When flirting with butterfly gardening, it is good to know a little bit more about these small and beautiful animals you want to attract to your backyard. To know which flowers and plants to grow for feeding butterflies, their eating habits are from particular interest for starting a butterfly garden.

As you probably already know, butterflies go through different life cycles. All butterflies life cycle starts as an egg, then it turns into a caterpillar, afterwards it becomes a pupa and in the end it comes out as a butterfly.

Most of its eating during all these butterfly stages, this creature does when it is a caterpillar. For some types of butterflies, this caterpillar stage is the only time in its whole life when it will ever eat. The caterpillar eats and grows until it bursts and drops its skin for a new one. This process can be repeated many, many times and in a couple of weeks the caterpillar can be a lot larger than it emerged.

But also butterflies have the equipment to eat. They have a head, they have a thorax, and they have a venter as well. Just rather than the typical insect mouth, those butterflies which do eat, have a tube. When not in use this tube rolled up like a coil spring but can be pushed deep into the glands of flowers to absorb their nectar.

The best way to find out which kind of nectar and food plants to offer your butterflies is to take a hike around and explore your location. Discover which species of butterflies live in your area. For best results have a butterfly identification book handy and make some notes about what these specific species of butterflies use for nectar and food plants. Although this might take some time and effort, you will appreciate the result.
Once you discovered the local butterfly species and prepared a list of flowers and plants they prefer, you are ready to start designing your butterfly garden.

Layman’s Dojo – Japanese Edition (Katana)   by Ryan Ford

Japanese Edition (Katana)
Article 1- Knowing What to Look For in A Blade

How would you be able to identify the quality of a weapon without first knowing what to look for? In this first article we will briefly cover the parts of a sword and the best metals to look for with your intent toward the weapon in mind.

First, lets lay down the groundwork with a bit of terminology:

-Kissaki- The tip of the blade, also known as “Sharp pointy end”
-Boshi- This is the curved edge of metal leading from the Kissaki to the edge (Cutting side) of your weapon.
-Hamon- This is the wavy pattern on the sword caused by the cooling process during forging. It has little to do with the quality of the weapon (Except for some exceptions), but is a major value in regard to aesthetics (i.e. It’s what makes it pretty), and is something to look out for if you are a Collector.
-Mune- This is the back of the katana. (The not cutting side)
-Hi- The groove running down the spine of the blade; also called “Blood groove”
-Ha- The cutting edge of the katana. This is obviously important, seeing as it is the major funtion of the weapon.
-Habaki- The blade collar. (A band of metal wrapped around the bottom of the blade, adding stability and aesthetics)
-Tsuba- The hand guard, seperating your fists from the offending blade of an opponent.
-Tsuka- The “handle”. Where the posessor holds the sword.
-Tsuka Ito- This is the wrapping that goes around the handle, adding grip and possibly aesthetics.
-Kashira- The pommel, or “Butt End” of the sword.
-Tang- The portion of the blade that runs through the handle, there are a few variants.
-Full Tang- Neccesary for those of you who will be actually using this weapon, as it ensures a durable and well made sword that is not going to bust apart on the first unlucky tree that you go whacking at!
-Half Tang- On this type of blade, the tang only goes halfway through the handle, not affording much in the way of stability, but no big deal for those of you who are collecting.

Allright, with that down pat we can get into the materials used, and what types are best for your intent. There are many metals and variations of formula used in sword smithing, I will cover just a few. We can break things up simply with a question of “Stainless Steel, versus Carbon Steel”

-Stainless Steel- These are swords used primarily in decoration only. They are not suitable for use in combat or the rigors of day to day practice. (If the weapons states 440 Stainless, keep an eye out for 440-C, it is more durable and higher quality than 440-B or A
-Carbon Steel-These are the more usable weapons, being able to survive some tough love from the owner, and should hold up well in combat environments.

Furnishings For Your Bearded Dragon’s Cage   by Troy Smith

Would you like to find out about how to furnish your bearded dragon’s cage? Assuming you will be providing food and water, consider the following additions:

Bearded dragons are certainly one of the most tame and family friendly pet lizards out there. If you have one or are thinking of purchasing one, the following information will help you understand how to create a bearded dragon den that is a comfortable home for your pet.

Dragons absolutely love to climb. The new dragon owner will have to invest in a solid, large, wide climbing branch. Most pet stores will have pieces of sand blasted grape vine that you can buy, as well as various other suitable climbing constructs. For bigger dragons, or young adults, large pieces of driftwood work well. Bear in mind to pass on any any paint or varnish as this could be harmful for your dragon.

Big stones will make a bearded dragon feel like it’s in its natural habitat. Suitable stones can be found in large quarries, by rivers, at home and garden retailers and perhaps even at your local pet shop. Thoroughly clean the stones with fresh water prior to setting them in the cage with your bearded dragon. Also, if you are utilizing a glass terrarium, be careful not to let the heavy rock break the glass bottom.

The local pet shop should also offer electric heated rocks. In the desert, stones get hot in the sun all day and preserve the heat at night. A heated stone is an ideal place for your dragon to be warm and happy when you turn out the lights at night. Be sure to look for the type that is internally controlled so that it does not get too hot and burn your pet bearded dragon.

Faux plants are a fantastic addition to a bearded dragon cage. Living plants are challenging to maintain in the appropriate terrarium habitat and certain types may result in injury to your lizard. Additionally, live plants require continual watering which may serve to raise the humidity of your dragon’s cage, potentially causing associated health problems. Fake plants are therefore ideal as they can be removed, cleaned and never die or rot. Picking the right plastic plants will supply fantastic hiding spaces as well as some color for your happy bearded dragon.

The concluding companion to your dragon’s terarium should be a specialized hiding place or shelter. Nearby pet suppliers should carry suitable shelters such as carton structures, synthetic rocks and even log halves that have been hollowed. Be resourceful. Some enthusiasts have utilized cinder blocks and various trinkets discovered around the house or the yard. If you do make use of household items, stay clear of things that are painted, coated or otherwise may be covered with chemical compounds. The chemicals may injure your pet dragon. He has a little body and needs very little exposure to become sick and expire. In addition, avoid things with sharp sides so your pet is not at risk of hurting himself.

The additions to your pet dragon’s cage discussed in this essay will likely go a long way in ensuring that your pet bearded dragon lives a long and happy life!

Desalination Part 3 of 4: Getting Better All the Time   by Cherish Hill

Continued from Desalination Part 2: No Salt, Please……….

In the late 1970s John Cadotte of America’s Midwest Research Institute and the FilmTec Corporation created a much-improved membrane by using a special cross-linking reaction between two chemicals atop a porous backing material. His composite membrane consisted of a very thin layer of polyamide, to perform the separation, and a sturdy support beneath it. Thanks to the membrane’s improved water flux, and its ability to tolerate pH and temperature variations, it went on to dominate the industry. At around the same time, the first reverse-osmosis plants for seawater began to appear. These early plants needed a lot of energy. The first big municipal seawater plant, which began operating in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in 1980, required more than 8 kilowatt hours (kWh) to produce one cubic metre of drinking water.

The energy consumption of such plants has since fallen dramatically, thanks in large part to energy-recovery devices. High-pressure pumps force seawater against a membrane, which is typically arranged in a spiral inside a tube, to increase the surface area exposed to the incoming water and optimise the flux through the membrane. About half of the water emerges as freshwater on the other side. The remaining liquid, which contains the leftover salts, shoots out of the system at high pressure. If that high-pressure waste stream is run through a turbine or rotor, energy can be recovered and used to pressurise the incoming seawater.

The energy-recovery devices in the 1980s were only about 75% efficient, but newer ones can recover about 96% of the energy from the waste stream. As a result, the energy use for reverse-osmosis seawater desalination has fallen. The Perth plant, which uses technology from Energy Recovery, a firm based in California, consumes only 3.7kWh to produce one cubic metre of drinking water, according to Gary Crisp, who helped to oversee the plant’s design for the Water Corporation, a local utility. Thermal plants suck up nearly as much electricity, but also need large amounts of steam. “A thermal plant only is practical if you can build it in such a way that it can take advantage of very low-cost or waste heat,” says Tom Pankratz, a water consultant based in Texas, who is also a board member of the International Desalination Association.

Economies of scale, better membranes and improved energy-recovery have helped to bring down the cost of reverse-osmosis seawater-desalination. Although the cost of desalination plants and their water depends on where they are, as well as the local costs of capital and operations, prices decreased from roughly $1.50 a cubic metre in the early 1990s to around 50 cents in 2003, says Mr Pankratz. As a result, reverse osmosis is preferred for most modern seawater-desalination (though rising energy and commodity prices mean the cost per cubic metre has now risen to around 75 cents). Experts reckon that further gains in energy efficiency, and hence cost reductions, will be increasingly difficult, however. According to a recent report on desalination from America’s National Research Council, energy use is unlikely to be reduced by much more than 15% below today’s levels–though that would still be worthwhile, it concludes.
Sometimes, using desalination within water management may be the only way to ensure supply.

To achieve these reductions, researchers want to find better membranes that allow water to pass through more easily and are less likely to get clogged up. Eric Hoek and his colleagues from UCLA, for example, have developed a membrane embedded with tiny particles containing narrow flow channels, producing a significant increase in water flux. The membrane’s smooth surface is also expected to make it harder for bacteria to latch onto. Depending on a plant’s design, the new membranes could reduce total energy consumption by as much as 20%, reckons Dr Hoek. The technology is being commercialised by NanoH2O, a company on UCLA’s campus.

Meanwhile, the possibility of making membranes out of carbon nanotubes, which consist of sheets of carbon atoms rolled up into tubes, has also garnered attention. A study published in the journal Science in 2006 demonstrated unexpectedly high water-flow rates. But insiders think it will be a decade before the idea is ready for commercialisation.

As desalination becomes more widespread, its environmental impacts, including the design of intake and discharge structures, are coming under increased scrutiny. Some of the damage can be mitigated fairly easily. Reducing the intake velocity enables most fish species and other mobile marine life to swim away from the intake system, though small animals, such as plankton or fish larvae, may still get caught in the intake screens or sucked into the plant.

Benefits of a POS Software for Hotels   by Brian Kent

There are various benefits to automating your hotel with a point of sale (POS) system. Using a POS software in your business can help you access vital data that otherwise would be impossible with the conventional cash register system.

Item sales details, stock status reports, purchase history as well as monthly, quarterly or seasonal sales reports are just some of the information you can instantly acquire using a POS. These data are the keys to help you take real control over your business. It ensures that every aspect of your business delivers maximum profit. In addition to the enhanced customer and inventory tracking, using a hotel POS system can help tighten up security and cut down pilferage and food wastage.

Here are some other benefits you can get in automating your hotel with a POS system:

Reduced Costly Inventory Overheads

Placing orders from foods to linens as well as from alcohol to cleaning materials requires filling out a multitude of requisition forms. Sometimes, when the hotel is at its peak, completing an inventory information sheet is sometimes bypassed to ensure the shortest turnaround time. However, this practise can also lead to pilferage, wastage and loss.

However, a hotel point of sale solution can automate these activities. It will show the stock on hand, the items left on the shelf and it can also show who and when the order was created of which can be saved for random stock check and future references.

Make Better Buying Decisions

Since all items in your hotel are all accounted for, the POS system can instantly notify you on what to buy. Moreover, because the POS can also give you the true value of the stocks in your shelves, you will know exactly the quantity of products you need to buy to meet the needs of your guests. This gives you a fool proof solution for overstocking and under stocking.

Efficient Online Reservations

Online reservations have never been made easier and more convenient for hotel staff. Now, this process can also be automated and entered into the hotel POS system with an embedded link to the hotel’s official website. Once a reservation has been made online, the POS will automatically update the entire venue system. This means that a hotel will never be overbooked or under booked!

Aside from the advantages mentioned above, you will also reduce time spent on stocktaking, balancing tills, recording sales transactions, transferring stock and changing prices.
