Instant Car Wash™
- Lots of cars to wash?
- No sewer connection available?
- Concerned about pollution or just want to maintain a 'green' image?
These were design requirements that lead to the groundbreaking design of Hydro Engineering, Inc's. Instant Car Wash (ICW)™.
ICW includes a wash water filtration system and a Hydroblaster pressure washer. The wash water filtration system includes a media filter that removes solids and uses Hydro Engineering Biodigesters to eliminate biodegradable contaminates like oil, bugs, and detergents, while also eliminating pathogens.
Recycled wash water is used by both Hydroblaster and a microfiber soft bristle brush to wash car, followed by a fresh water rinse. ICW is paired with a Hydropad wash rack platform that captures wash water so that it can be returned to ICW for reuse.
A flow through microfiber brush and recycled water are used to release road film from vehicle without cleaning chemicals. As a result, the amount of rinse water required is small virtually eliminating wash water discharge to sewer.
ICW can be used with cleaning chemicals but chemicals accumulate in recycling system and can cause foaming. Biodigesters consume cleaning chemicals and help control foaming issues, but additional rinse water is required which typically requires a sewer connection.
Here's how it works:
System is provided with three wash tools; a Hydroblaster, soft touch flow through wash brush and rinse wand.
- Hydroblaster pressure washer is activated by pulling trigger on wash wand. Wash vehicle with filtered, recycled water to remove accumulated dirt and debris.
- Open recycled water flow control valve on brush wand and use the microfiber brush to sweep road film from entire vehicle surface.
- Use trigger controlled rinse wand supplied with fresh, (or even better) DI or RO spot free water to rinse vehicle.
- Use blower, water blade, and/or towels to dry vehicle.
System requires power, water, and can be operated without a sewer connection. No construction is required.
