Build your own reclaimer?

Ron you talking floors?
 
Do you want a vacuum recovery system, a filtration system or both? I have done a little experimenting and a little stealing of ideas so taht I might be able to help out on it.

I Have Made One

I have had some success with this type of recovery system, I needed someting to catch the runoff when cleaning service stations. I picked up a cheap 12V chem pump from Tractor Supply Co. and these puppies are said to be able to run dry indefinetly making them great for this job Just get one of the your wife's old torn pantyhose to put on the end of the hose so you dont draw rocks through the pump. I then pump the waste water back into another water tank, I haven't bought the barriers yet but I'm sure this will help a great deal also.

Ron plans are all over the net for the API design of OWS. The API design is the most widely used design out on the market.If you do a some research it can be done. If you have any fab skills it would be easy to build one its is basicly just baffled tanks. the expensive part is the coalescing filter if you put one in. If you do a some research it can be done, i dont know if it would be as cost efficent as just buying one. I will cost the materials out in the next month or so to see if its worth it or not to build one.
 
I would base the design or purchase on how many machines you are going to run plus oversized for the possibility of adding another machine on some jobs and the gun not always on the full time that you are there on the job.

There will be some loss due to evaporation and absorbtion, not sure if there is a formula or average but I would guess the further south you live the larger the % of loss of water you will have.

Like if you have 2 of the 8gpm machines, I would want a system that could handle at least 24gpm so if you added another machine temporarily on some jobs it would probably handle it without having to stop the job or slow down too much
 
Design is rule #1 keep it basic, simple ,and efective. Less moving parts means less parts to break down on the job/road. I have a few blueprints on how i will build mine for what i am going to use it for. and as Chris said having the extra power just in case is always good. youll have room to grow or use it for those strange jobs that we get from time to time. the beauty of fabing your own system is you can custom fit it on your rig and put other goodies on it.

Thats my thinking too, I have a set square footage that the API could fit in too, but if had to redesign my trailer I would set the tanks up diffrently.
