We Reclaimed 80-90% of Water Needed to Operate Their Car Washes
Turn Challenges into Opportunities with GreenEdge!
Experience how we empowered car wash facilities to reclaim 80-90% of the water needed to operate, eliminate troublesome odors, and ensure a steady supply of reusable water.
Discover the power of GreenEdge's BioJac™ technology in action.
My old system only reclaimed 30% of the wash water, and there was always a significant problem with odor. The BioJac™ system provides a continuous stream of odor-free reclaim water and has allowed me to reclaim up to 90% of my wash water. I only use fresh water to rinse.
