StarWashClearStream™ Water Clarification System
Our state-of-the-art StarWashClearStream™ Water Clarification System redefines how carwashes manage waste water and reclaimed water. Through water reuse and backwashing innovations, we recycle up to 85% of car wash water—turning dirty water into reusable water—so your wash operations can conserve water and money. This means fewer gallons going to the sewer, reduced water usages overall, and a more eco-friendly car wash facility.
Whether you run a small car wash business or a large-scale vehicle wash system, our equipment is built to seamlessly integrate with your existing setup, helping you tackle any water quality challenges while meeting strict environmental regulations.
Here’s what makes our water reclamation system stellar:
-
Advanced Filtration Technology
Our process harnesses cutting-edge filters, including multimedia filters and advanced membrane technology, to remove contaminants from used carwash water down to the microscopic level. This rigorous filtration leaves you with recycled water that is nearly as clean as fresh water. By employing wastewater treatment systems and industrial water treatment methods, we address issues like chemicals, sediment, and odor control for a consistently high-quality result. Our system also features robust pumps that move water seamlessly through each filtration stage, ensuring reliable performance during every wash cycle.
-
Odor-Free Operation
With integrated ozonation and UV treatment, our ClearStream™ system keeps recycled wash water fresh, ensuring your customers never encounter unpleasant smells. This odor control strategy helps maintain a pleasant environment for cars, washer operators, and the entire wash bay. By preventing the buildup of foul odors, you uphold a professional standard that increases customer satisfaction and trust in your carwash.
-
Smart Water Management
Our intelligent control mechanisms automatically adjust water flow and pressure washer demands based on your tunnel car wash or wash bay’s real-time needs. This ensures that every gallon of water is utilized efficiently, reducing waste. Whether you’re washing cars, trucks, or other vehicles, the system monitors volume of water used to optimize both performance and operating costs. From scheduling backwashing cycles to maintaining water filter integrity, the system’s smart technology continuously adapts to maximize water reuse and minimize fresh water consumption.
-
Eco-Friendly Performance
By reclaiming 85% of water, our system achieves significant reductions in water consumption, making it an ideal solution for car wash businesses seeking to conserve water and lower their environmental impact. You’ll reduce the amount of wastewater going down the sewer, comply with municipal water supply guidelines, and benefit from water storage features that allow for fresh water rinse applications. This means fewer gallons of water are wasted, and more reusable water is diverted back into the wash process—supporting sustainability goals and promoting overall water conservation.
-
Cost-Effective Solution
Lower water usages translate into tangible savings, reducing both your water and sewer bills. You’ll see a swift return on investment as you cut down on municipal water supply reliance and decrease overall costs associated with chemicals, maintenance, and process inefficiencies. By recycling water through state-of-the-art wastewater treatment systems, you can preserve your equipment’s lifespan, reduce expensive downtime, and retain more money in your bottom line.
-
Seamless Integration
The ClearStream™ Water Clarification System is specifically engineered to work flawlessly with any StarWash washing equipment and can also adapt to existing vehicle wash systems. From large-scale automatic car wash operations to smaller car wash facilities, our solution simplifies your wash water recycle needs by blending innovative technology with easy-to-operate controls. Because our system is compatible with a range of washers, pressure washers, and pumps, it’s a versatile choice for any business looking to improve water efficiency without sacrificing cleaning quality.
By integrating industrial water treatment and wastewater treatment systems, we address poor carwash water issues and optimize water efficiency at every step.
How Does a Car Wash Reclaim System Work?
A car wash reclaim system takes used carwash water—often full of dirt, chemicals, and other contaminants—and processes it through multiple stages of filtration, backwashing, and recycling. This transforms dirty water into reclaimed water that can be reused for washing, rinsing, or other applications. The process typically includes separating larger debris, filtering out finer particles, and disinfecting the recycled car wash water to ensure it meets high-quality standards. Operators can then store this cleaned water in a water tank, ready for use whenever wash demand is high. This cycle reduces the volume of water used and lessens your reliance on fresh water, translating into major cuts in operating costs and a more sustainable approach for your car wash business.
The Importance of Water Reclamation for Car Wash Businesses
A robust water reclamation system benefits car washes in multiple ways. Besides the clear environmental advantage of conserving water, reclaimed wash water saves operators money on utility bills and helps reduce the amount of wastewater requiring treatment. Reliable wastewater treatment systems ensure compliance with local regulations, preserving your car wash facility’s reputation. In addition, water reuse protocols help maintain strong water efficiency in your wash operations, tackle potential issues like poor carwash water, and provide a consistent flow of recycled wash water for ongoing washing needs.

How Much Does A Reclaimed Water System Cost?
The cost of a reclaimed water system for car washes can vary based on factors like equipment size, desired water capacity, and the level of water filtration technology required. While upfront investment can include pumps, filters, water tanks, and control systems, the long-term savings on municipal water supply and sewer fees often outweigh initial expenditures. Additionally, factors such as chemicals used, maintenance intervals, and the volume of water used also affect total costs. By recycling water effectively, you’ll see substantial ROI and lower utility bills in both the short and long term.
How Much Can Car Wash Operators Save with the Right Reclamation System?
Car wash operators can see significant financial benefits when they recycle and reuse car wash water. In many cases, reductions in water usage can lead to thousands of gallons of fresh water saved each month, which directly lowers operating costs. By harnessing water reuse technology, you’ll also reduce strain on local wastewater treatment facilities and municipal water supplies, potentially qualifying for rebates or incentives. Over time, these cost savings compound, enabling you to reallocate funds to business growth, new washing equipment, or other strategic investments.
