Recently opened California carwash reclaims 97 percent of water

MANTECA, Calif. — Clean Drop Car Wash is able to reclaim 97 percent of its water or more, which is a great thing for a wash that is in the area of a drought, according to the Manteca Bulletin.

MANTECA, Calif. — With water concerns and drought in California, a carwash that is able to reclaim 97 percent of its water, like Clean Drop Car Wash has done, is a step ahead, according to the Manteca Bulletin.          

The article explained the process that allows water to be recycled at such a high rate: “Water carrying rich material washes over a series of channels, and the heavier particles settle on the bottom — sending the water and the lighter, non-precious mixture back out of the end into a returning pool where it can be recycled again.”

The owner of the wash, Hercules Vourakis, wants to use as little water as possible, while providing customers with a great carwash. “When you drive up and select your wash there isn’t the typical up sell  … The machine knows which car you are in line and it goes from there,” said Vourakis. He continued that the wash can be a one person operation.

The wash also has free vacuum terminals, and 160-horsepower fans that dry your car after the wash.

Reaching new reclaim heights

There is a lot of variety in the carwash industry. Not only are there different types of washes, but the design, equipment, chemistry, staffing and service can greatly vary from one site to the next. However, there’s one non-negotiable constant in every wash: Water.

Since water — and lots of it — is so essential to this industry, it only makes sense to strive for ways to maximize every single drop. That’s where the reclaim process comes in. Collecting, rehabilitating and reusing as much water as possible is essential to protect the environment, the availability of resources and a carwash’s bottom line. That’s why industry leaders are currently driving innovation to find ways to reclaim even more water than ever.
