I am expanding to offer water recovery. My questions are this:
Do you have to recapture your water to a vacuum, then sump pump it out of the vacuum and into the large tank? Can you not just purchase or fabricate a system where you vacuum the water strait into the large tank? Obviously I am not trying to re invent the wheel but it seams to me that if you can take out a step then it will be more cost effective to set up. I am looking for the fastest most cost effective way to reclaim. Due to the cost of filtering systems I do not be feel that filtering the water over and over is an option at this time. I have already contacted several dump locations throughout my wash area. I also have a call into the city as well as the county in regards to the current laws and regulations regarding the hauling and disposal of wastewater. What is your system of recovery/reclaiming? Please post equipment details and pics if possible. Thanks in advance. Rick
PS- I have a 3500psi @ 4.5gpm -200deg wash unit- two 525 gal water tanks on a 16ft trailer. I already do resturants (exterior only) and gas stations and this is where I am expanding.
