Expanding Reclaim Water Use While Controlling Costs

Like many high-volume express car wash facilities, Auto Suds West already operated a reclaim system designed to capture and reuse water from the wash process. However, limitations in reclaim water quality restricted how much of that water could be reused throughout the wash tunnel.

As a result, the facility continued to rely heavily on freshwater in several stages of the wash process, including vehicle preparation. This kept water consumption and sewer costs higher than desired and created potential exposure to additional municipal fees tied to water demand.

With more than 100,000 vehicles processed annually, the Auto Suds West team began exploring ways to improve reclaim water performance so more recycled water could be used reliably throughout the wash process.

Integrating Moleaer Nanobubble Technology into the Reclaim System

Auto Suds West partnered with Moleaer, the global leader in nanobubble technology, to integrate its nanobubble solutions into the facility’s reclaim water loop.

Moleaer’s technology generates trillions of nanobubbles that remain suspended in water and support improved water treatment and reuse processes within reclaim systems. By improving water quality and stability in the reclaim system, the facility was able to increase the use of recycled water across additional wash stages.

Implementation occurred in two phases:

Phase 1: Partial Implementation
Nanobubble-treated reclaim water was introduced into several stages of the wash process while vehicle prep continued to use freshwater.

Phase 2: Full Implementation
Vehicle prep operations were converted to use nanobubble-treated reclaim water, further expanding recycled water use throughout the wash tunnel.

The system was integrated into existing infrastructure, allowing the facility to improve reclaim performance without major operational disruption.

Results: Immediate Water and Cost Savings

Following the integration of Moleaer’s technology, Auto Suds West observed measurable reductions in freshwater consumption per vehicle.
