AND I NEED GOOD INFO...
Recovery and reclamation is a topic that is largely ignored in our area.
There are few if any (myself included) that actually know any, all, or even a little bit about the rules, regs, and procedures as they apply here.
The reality is that enforcement WILL be here eventually and I can either be with 'em or against 'em..We all know who is gonna win the battle between Good ole' Cujo and The Man...
Not to mention that is the law, it really is the right thing to do and it's a good marketing tool.
I have done some research on some of what's available such as the Water Boy recycle system and the Steel Eagle recovery/recycle unit, but the reality is that I could spend some hard core cash and still not have the system I -- want/need/is right -- for my application.
I think it is reasonable to assume that a system I would need would be fairly small scale, compared to say someone who does nothing but parking lots or restaraunts all day every day. We do a fair amount of commercial work and residential along with it, but it is also reasonable to say that in reality, most residential waste water stays in the flowerbeds until you get to the driveway. so the actual amount of water to be cleaned/claimed is relatively small.....I think....
Now that I have admitted to not even really knowing what I don't know... What say the Experts on a start-up system??
For baselines:
figure that the budget is insanely small,
volume produced is under 5gpm,
most common cleaning application would be post construction clean of mud/clay/dirt from curb, gutter, sidewalks & small driveways
residential cleaning of driveways and sidewalks.
small volume of oil/grease
no current usage for restaraunt applications
no current usage for interior applications where sanitary sewer floor drains do not already exist.
I am thinking currently that a small sump type system with feedback to something like a Water Boy may be the best answer... But... the reclaim/recycle/vac unit from Steel Eagle looks pretty damn nifty too..
I just have a hard time believing that it's as simple as the pictures and the websites (of each company) make it look...
Please,
I am looking for good info from everyone including prices, problems, atta-boys, maintenance costs, brand names, and the whole shooting match.
I'm also guessing that there are others out there who want the same info, but won't ask becasue they don't want anyone to know they aren't reclaiming/recycling.... Help us help ourselves....
