Does Your Car Wash Need a Water Softener

Why Does Your Car Wash Need a Water Softener?

If you are wondering whether your car wash needs a water softener, think about your customers. Is the rinse cycle at your car wash leaving spots or chalky residue on their vehicles? Have you had to raise prices at your car wash to pay for high water bills or hiring staff to hand dry vehicles? If so, it is only a matter of time before customers try alternatives to see if they can get more for their money elsewhere. So, it will make sense to invest in a water softener if it helps your car wash retain loyal customers and cut expenses, right?

How Does Your System Provide Spot-Free Rinses?

Unfortunately, many municipal water supplies in the Midwest pump hard water to car wash businesses. The minerals, dissolved solids, and contaminants in this water create spots on vehicles after rinse cycles and damage components such as spray nozzles at your car wash. That is why a car wash needs a water softener. It is a solution that gets rid of the contaminants that harm customer satisfaction and cause your operating costs to rise.

SoBrite Technologies reverse osmosis systems use a semipermeable membrane to filter out those harmful impurities in the water. It works by doing the following:

• The machine forces used water from your car wash through the membrane, filtering out minerals, dissolved solids, and other impurities and flushing them away.
• Then, it uses odor control technology to get rid of any harmful bacteria and microorganisms before it sends the water to storage tanks for future use.
• Most importantly, it supplies your car wash with a reserve of water that will not leave spots on cars during rinse cycles and reduces your usage from fresh water supplies with hard water.

What Are the Benefits of a Water Recycling System?

Now that you know why your car wash does need a water softener, it is important to learn all the benefits it can offer. These are some of the most compelling reasons to convert your car wash from a system heavily reliant on fresh water supply to one that uses water recycling systems like the ones from SoBrite Technologies:

• Reduces Operating Expenses
  • The water reclaim system delivers spot-free rinses to customers by eliminating minerals and impurities in the water supply.
  • Thus, customer will be more satisfied after each wash.
  • In addition, the water reclaim system eliminates the need to dry cars by hand, saving on costs for labor and amount of time needed for each wash cycle.
• Gets Rid of Spots During Rinse Cycles
  • The water reclaim system eliminates contaminants such as magnesium, salt, calcium, and other impurities from the water supply.
  • As a result, vehicles can air dry after rinse cycles without forming spots.
  • So, your business can save on expenses by no longer needing to pay employees to dry cars manually.
• Offers Low Maintenance Solutions
  • The water reclaim system will not need a lot of maintenance.
  • Thus, your car wash receives a supply of purified water without a lot of effort.
  • Most importantly, the water reclaim system will stay in good condition with only periodic water quality checks and filter replacement.
