HOW THE WFS WATER FILTER SYSTEM WORKS

The WFS Series Water Filter Systems are designed to handle high volumes of washwater such as produced by car or truck washes. These completely automatic treatment units will collect your dirty washwater and process it so that it can be reused in the washing operation. The WFS draws the washwater from your collection sump and transfers it to the holding and collection tank. The solids separator removes much of the heavy sand and grit and deposits it in the collection container for disposal. Additional solids which settle in the holding tank are also deposited in the collection container. The Filter System not only cleans the water, but also adds an oxidizer reagent to kill bacteria and odors. The oxidizer is used to make the water more environmentally friendly and less hazardous for personnel doing the washing. Rinsing normally uses fresh water which is collected with the washwater. Any excess water can be automatically disposed of as treated water, more easily achieving compliance with environmental regulations.


ALL THE WATER YOU WILL EVER NEED

WFS Series Water Filter System are available in sizes to treat up to 72,000 gallons of washwater per day, or more if needed. Even if you have a high volume car wash, a WFS Series is available to treat your washwater. The Filter System maintains the correct amount of water in the system, adding clean make up water from your supply or discharging excess treated water as required. Your water usage and expense will decrease dramatically. And sewer charges, which are often substantial, may be reduced significantly or even eliminated. Fresh water which is normally used for rinsing is added to the washing system. Any excess water can be automatically disposed of as treated water.
