Water Reclaim and Filtration

When your wash water cannot go down the storm drain, you capture it, filter it, and reuse it or haul it away. We supply fixed and portable filtration systems, plus the UTT 460 trailer that vacuums wash water up at the job.

Start with where the water goes today. A city, state or federal discharge rule usually decides this for you, and the answer is different for a wash bay on a sewer connection than for a crew washing in a parking lot.

A fixed site with a wash bay takes a fixed system. The fixed system we sell is a multi-module unit on 115V power, with sand filtration, a polishing filter, an automatic chlorinator and a polypropylene coalescing tank. Golf courses, truck washes, car washes and rental yards are the kinds of sites that use one.

A mobile crew has two choices. A compact filtration unit mounts in a truck or van, runs on 110V and is designed to filter down to 5 micron or lower. Or you capture everything and carry it: the UTT 460 is a twin-axle trailer with a 460 gallon tank, a 4 HP vac motor and an automatic pump-out, built for containment and spill clean-up.

What we need from you: how many gallons a day you wash, what is in the water (oil, mud, detergent), and who your discharge permit or inspector is. The rules vary by city, so we would rather see the site than guess. Ask for a visit.

What it's for

  • Wash bays that must meet a discharge permit
  • Mobile crews washing where runoff cannot reach a storm drain
  • Containment and spill clean-up
  • Sites that want to reuse wash water instead of buying it

What it's not for

  • Choosing from a web page alone: the right system depends on your site, your water and your permit, so we look first

A dead burner, a citation, a bid due Friday. Your words.
How do we reach you? A phone or an email is enough.
A few more questions (optional)
Downtime, labor, a lost bid. A rough idea is fine.
Brand, model, age if you know it.

Here's what happens next: The Pacoima counter calls you within one business hour, or emails you if you leave no number. The call is 15 minutes. We ask what's going wrong, how you plan to pay, and who else weighs in. At the end we set a next step, or tell you straight that we're not the right shop. Nobody pitches anything until we understand the job.
