How to Safely Shut Down and Store Your PurWater and PurClean Systems
Dear valued carwash partners,
Saving Green By Going Green
COMBATTING THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS
Water is becoming more expensive every day. The lack of freshwater resources to meet demand
affects every continent on the globe and was listed in the 2019 World Economic Forum as one of the
largest global risks in terms of potential impact over the next decade. Due to rising populations and
changing consumption patterns, water has become a resource that is rapidly growing more and more
precious around the world. In an effort to be more environmentally responsible as well as save on the
increasing costs levied by local municipalities, the carwash industry has recognized a need for water
treatment solutions that are tailored specifically to the car wash operator. Throughout the last decadethis technology has seen exponential growth in an industry built on the consumption and usage of water. In an era of new technology and continuing innovation, how do car wash operators find solutions that fittheir needs specifically without wasting their other resources – time, money and most importantly the quality of their wash? There are many options for water treatment solutions within the carwash industry today. Finding the right solution for each situation can take time and effort that can be difficult to find while also managing a business. It is important to find a company that will partner with you to offer informed and educated decisions to save you and your customers time and money from beginning to end. It’s also important to find equipment that fits your sites needs without taking up valuable resources or negatively impacting wash quality.
Water Saving Strategy for Carwash Operators & How To Implement
Water restrictions or not, there’s good reason to make a commitment to water conservation and water reclamation in the carwash industry. Water and sewer costs have increased an average of 50% since 2008.
