Coin Op Water Reclamation

[CDJ]

Hi all,

I'm a relatively new owner -- about 1 year into it -- and I'm interested in any water reclamation systems that other mat owners have had installed. Are there any out there?

I know that for On Premise Laundries, EcoLab and other companies will require no money down for reclamation equipment; they're offered on a pay-as-you-save basis. Is there anything like this for coin-op?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I may be wrong, but I don't believe there is anything that will work (sure in theory they work). The problem is that in a self-service environment you have little if any control over what chemicals the customers dump into the machines. Most membrane systems cannot tolerate chlorine bleach - just try to tell your customers not to use chlorine. The other problem is one of perception not reality. If customers (yes they are stupid) find out you are reclaiming water they may desert you as they think it is of poor quality.
