As you know there are more and more regulations that are telling us what can and can not be put down the drain.
I live in California and it is just about the worst.
I have seen many types of reclaim systems on the market.
Some I like and some I don't
I have nothing to gain here so lets try to discuss the pros and cons of some of these systems.
For Contract cleaners there is a different need than a Trucking company.
Therefore they don't need the fancy expensive systems that cost upwards of $20,000.00. Most times one can be put together for under $10,000.00.
You just need to pick up the water filter it and dispose of it on site.
Some Distributors will tell you that you can reuse the water over and over again.
This can be done but, the distributor will see you about once a month for repairs on your pressure washer. Not the reclaim system.
Dirty water and pumps are just a bad idea.
The water has fine particles of dirt and sand that pass thru the filters. This gritty material is emulsified into the water and it stays in the water. It is like sand blasting your pump Packings, Valves, Unloader, etc.
They wear out prematurely from this dirty water.
The best way is to process it and dispose of it down a Sewer or toilet on site.
I will post more on this subject later.
Please feal free to ask questions.
