If everything goes to plan we should be in a position to recycle water by beginning of April.
-
What set up you gonna be using mate? Filtered down to tap water quality? Ie: no chunks?
-
Initially trailer mounted purely for filtration / transfer tank later in year hope to incorporate it into new van ... Looking to acheive <100 microns.
-
Why go to all the trouble though Mike?
-
In simple terms progression... we increased safety ropes... started Vac / pump far cleaner.. added WFP... etc
We all know washing uses vast quantities of water, if we can now offer this to the public additional wastes saving / improvement has to be a huge plus / selling aid especially given the current times.
I know some customers dont give a damn with ref to Hs etc... But thats not our target customer. There is an initial outlay plus ongoing costs increased servicing etc but we will build this into our costs.

I applaud you. I think it is a real selling point. The country is staring at drought orders being brought in and if the water companies don't pull it together this is going to become a regular thing.
I looked into a vortex recycling unit, in one of the trailers (when I had them), they said that they could fit and supply for 5k.
I may look into this before the end of the year. I used about 4000 litres today and can use up to 10 000 litres on a busy day. we always have problems with getting to water outlets and taps etc and it is one of my bugbears.
Thanks for the push!!! ;)

Thanks Rob appreciate comments.
Its going to be an ongoing project, which we should be able to incorporate into other pressure washing services.

I agree that it's a great selling point to certain customers but I don't have the need for that selling point up here ;D
-
i can see the selling point of this but i personally think the extra hose for recovering the water will be a constant hastle and cost more time than it will save for a lot of jobs, i wouldnt mind any updates on how you get on with it though

Mike,
If you want to give me a call at some point, as I know someone who has built recycle systems if it is any help.
Rob it is Colin who did the transfer with us when you bought the H&M system so you have met him.
I can see pressure washing needing to go this way in the future, 1 as a selling point and 2 as an environmental issue.
Why this country has never gone the desalination route I don't know.
