Build your own water reclaim/recycle system

That's cool Greg. You land any wall marts or interior work?

I have 1 Walmart confirmed (washing the front of the building and concrete) and I'm waiting on confirmation for another for concrete only. Also bidding out a Walgreens tomorrow that came in yesterday for quote. I haven't really pursued much yet since our stuff is not all in and together for the recovery end. I'm pretty stoked about the potential with interior though.

Almost forgot I also have a demo to do for a 50 store convenience/gas station chain as well. Did some work for the owners son and it's opened a few doors. Man do they need it too..

Good stuff Greg. Yeah I'd like to get into interiors as well. Just don't know how the market is out here for it.
 
I never had the courage to reuse. When testing my filters I determined they would clog quickly and abandoned any idea of reusing. I do a restaurant interior monthly and it all goes to grease trap. I use 12inch vacuum surface cleaner which fits in tighter spaces for interior.

On interior you can Run the Pump out to sanitary

Landscape area. That's a compliant practice here.

For reclaiming I go to sanitary every chance I get. Grassy area is ok sometimes, but I don't want any problems to arise from dead grass when contaminates build up over time. Grease and oil may not break down faster than the rate it is being discharged. Like for monthly cleaning of a high volume establishment where there is heavy build-up.

George, we have an OWS and a 4 cartridge 20 micron filter set it runs thru before reaching the landscape area.

You have the Sirocco OWS Chad? Can you provide some feedback on the unit your using as far as how often you have to clean it and such?

I clean it out after each use. Light duty work is not bad. We cleaned a couple parking garages earlier this year and we had to clean everything out every 4 hours and they were bad.

What size unit are you running Chad? I could see parking garages plugging it up rather quickly.

It's the mid sized 14hp model.
Yeah the parking garages are a different animal. Your typical outdoor shopping centers etc don't plug up as bad.

Filtration is very modular..
just add what the jobsite requires..
..but certainly "take responsibility" for what you suck up..
example.. parking lots have a LOT of sand and silt and hair you wouldn't expect..
a SandTrap is great for the heavy sand,
..adding the Slid-In-Filter stops leaves & cigarette butts.
a set of FilterSocks on the downspouts of the Auto-Pump-Out tank catches hair ..
..Hair is a cRAzy problem in parking garages..
It seens that every woman brushes her hair before going into a store, and drops the hair-wad from the brush onto the ground..
we find the hair in the "bleeder-port" on the sump pump.. which impedes the reliability of Pump-Out.
FilterSocks totally solve that problem. our new units all have them. (if you need them, call me.)

Silt.. is the toughest.. especially since a parking lot sweepers only gets "the big stuff".. leaves and paper trash.
Silt management is about making filters not plug up too quickly..
..and the jobSite "tells you" what it needs.. so..
if the filters you have load up during the job..
get another bank of filters to add "DirtLoad capacity"..
so you can stay focused on cleaning.
call me for details, or come to our educational event next week and learn a LOT more !
 
Thanks for the info Jerry. I'll have to give you a call for the filter socks as my unit doesn't have them (and to pick your brain a bit:) ). Excited to put this system to work! I've been busy building out this truck so I've done anything more than fire up the engine and check suction thus far.
