The Extreme Clean: Only requires a collection pit to pump wastewater to the reclaim system.

The competition: Retrofitting existing car washes is very expensive, floors and drainage systems require major changes, extensive plumbing must be added. Then include interruption of washing for days or even weeks.

The Extreme Clean: The existing collection and drainage system is utilized, only a wastewater pickup point is required. Pumps are installed in the collection system in only hours. Most often without discontinuing washing operations.

The competition: Most reclaim systems require multiple large in-ground pits that are costly to install. These installation costs generally make even the least expensive system more costly once installed than the Extreme Clean.

The Extreme Clean: Above ground (cone bottom) tanks are an integral part of the Extreme Clean system. Solids that settle out in its tanks and can be easily purged and removed from the system.

The competition: These large under ground pits provide the settling time for solids to settle out and then require frequent maintenance to clean out the accumulated solids.

The Extreme Clean: Extensive oil coalescing and active skimming is standard on the Extreme Clean, 95% water free oil is removed from the system and deposited into a waste oil container for disposal and/or subsequent sale for recycling. Hydro-Biodigesters bacterial product (HBD) live within the sludge consuming hydrocarbons grease and oils.

The competition: Oils and sludge are accumulated in these underground pits (sumps) require sludge to be pumped from them. In most cases this waste must be hauled away as hazardous material.

The Extreme Clean: The Extreme Clean cannot interrupt washing operations. The system can even be turned off and wastewater will still pass through uninterrupted. Extreme Clean owners don’t loose money due to loss of operation and turned away customers. 

The competition: Most systems on the market will interrupt washing operations when they breakdown or require maintenance. This requires the operator to bypass the reclaim system to maintain washing and continue to make money. This also requires that the operator be notified that the system is down so bypassing can be accomplished.

The Extreme Clean: Only continuous media filters (CMAFU) and backflushable media filters are used. All are automatic and require little user attention. The Extreme Clean system backflushes automatically, on demand in just minutes and each night (as programmed). No down time here!                                                                                  

The competition: Most systems use cartridge or bag filters that require taking the system off line for costly replacement or cleaning of these filters.

The Extreme Clean: Hydrocarbons (oils) are completely removed with the Extreme Clean.                                

The competition: Rainbows on the finished vehicle from oils don’t make happy customers.

The Extreme Clean: “We Won’t Put a Skunk In Your Trunk” The Extreme Clean system uses Hydro-Biodigesters to eliminate odor. Targeted bacteria, enzymes, micro and macronutrients work together to out compete natural bacteria providing a smell free system. See Biodigesters for more information.                                                      

The competition: Most reclaim systems stink! Foul smelling cars don’t bring customers back. Ozone and other corrosives are used to kill naturally occurring bacteria and are almost never 100% successful. These do damage to customer’s vehicles and car-washing equipment and are very costly to use.

The Extreme Clean: Is manufactured by Hydro Engineering Inc. We have over 1500 wastewater treatment systems in daily operation. With three GSA (Government) contracts covering our equipment and 25+ years of experience in the business we know how to make it work. 

The competition: Experience is lacking in the reclaim business.
