Hi all, first post here. My partner and I just started up a new pressure washing company. We'll be a "mobile" platform and purchased a box truck with a new Landa PGHW washer. We have both done some pressure washing in our own respective businesses (commercial building maintenance) but it makes sense to ramp up and make the investment. We plan to market ourselves to larger corporate commercial accounts and operate within environmental parameters - from all ends, a water reclaim system is a must have.
We've been doing research on the various models of reclaim systems but wanted to get some firsthand testimonials and hear from those that know these things best. We've narrowed it down to three manufacturers - Sirocco, Hydrotek GRV40, and the Hot n Mighty. We don't mind spending a premium for a reliable, high quality system but at the same time we do not want to spend unnecessary money's on something too intense for our purposes. Our truck will be outfitted with two 500 gallon tanks - one with supply water and one as a holding tank for the reclaimed water. We plan to discharge of the reclaimed water off site and don't plan to re-use the water as supply although that would be an added benefit - reason being, we've heard that the reclaimed water can never be filtered to a "clean" enough level and can damage the pressure washer...any credence to that? We will be running up to two pressure washers per job (both under 5 GPM) and will mainly be doing cement flat work as well as building facades.
How is everyone's experience with the Sirocco, Hydrotek GRV40, and Hot n Mighty systems? Any feedback at all would be appreciated - we're really concerned with reliability, quality, strength, and price point. Also, any tips for configuring these in the box truck? If we're not re-using the reclaimed water how do these systems differ from just buying a normal everyday water pump?
Thanks in advance for any and all help. Much appreciated.
