Probably the most cost-effective solution to washpad water recycling,
water conservation and compliance with anti-pollution legislation, e.g.
The Groundwater
Regulations 1998 (
115 KB) and the Water
Framework Directive (opens in new window).

New Groundwater Regulations are expected to come into force in November 2008 and will affect you if washing down vehicles and machinery. See the DEFRA and NETREGS documents:
This will mean that washpad water recycling will be even more in demand as greater control of groundwater pollution will be made.
With over 100 systems installed in the UK and the Irish Republic, ClearWater has probably the fastest growth rate and has to be worth considering!
ClearWater is a silent, below-ground (safely out of sight) biological washdown water treatment and recycling system comprising tried and tested components utilising harmless micro-organisms to clean effluent water from washdown areas. Requiring minimum maintenance and with exceptionally low running costs, each system offers performance and real value for money.
Washdown water may contain mud, grass clippings, oils, greases, fuels, pesticides and herbicides. Our system and harmless micro-organisms turn this toxic environment into clean water for re-use on the washdown pad, or it can be used to supply water features such as lakes or streams, without harm to wildlife.
Established in 1967, we have many years experience supplying and fitting oil interceptors, washdown areas and sewage treatment plants. ClearWater was a natural progression for us as demand for a system to meet the requirements of current legislation and prevent pollution grew and water conservation became an issue. ClearWater offers you a biological washdown water recycling system that is:
[+] Wireless Interceptor Oil Alarm |
|
[+] Automatic Shut-off Valve |
The systems comprise purpose designed, compartmentalised tanks. These
are leak free, corrosion resistant and are installed below ground (all you can see are the
turret tops!). These tanks are fully guaranteed for 12 months following system
commissioning and an annual inspection / service is offered. Each tank has various
components fitted to complete the system, ensuring complete aeration throughout and
effective operation. The total storage capacity in the standard system is 5000 litres of water
allowing ample time for biological treatment.

ClearWater grass trap
& silt filter (above)
and Primary Filter (below
Contaminated wash-off water flows from a purpose-built wash pad
through a Primary Filter and then the Grass Trap/Sand filter, (both of which remove most
solid matter) and enters the underground tank. Micro-organisms then break down the
contaminated effluent in the oxygen-rich environment, producing clean water and carbon
dioxide. Water then passes through a large coalescing filter to the secondary storage for
settling of any suspended solids remaining in the now clean water. The clean water
passes to final storage and is fed by powerful, submersible pump/s to water gun/s for
effective wash-off. This wash-water then returns into the system for treatment.

Large Silt Trap
For larger washpads where quantities of mud may be present, we recommend the installation of one of our large Silt Traps (pictured left).
We believe that buying a ClearWater Washpad Water Recycling System with full installation, commissioning and pad build will be a sound investment. Not only will you have an attractively priced system but one that blends with the environment. Running and maintenance costs are important however. With few moving parts and less to go wrong than other systems, maintenance costs are minimal. We do charge an inexpensive annual maintenance fee which covers a full year’s warranty and then a visit from one of our trained engineers every 12 months to inspect and service the system, renewing filter and any other necessary parts. Ask our competitors if they offer such a comprehensive warranty and what their charges are!
Our micro-organisms have been produced specifically and exclusively for our systems for the work you are carrying out, i.e. washing down grass cutting machinery with all the contaminants (oil, grease, petrol, diesel and, not forgetting...grass!) Our micro-organism prices, however, are not expensive! (we have been told that we are far cheaper than some on the market!)
A ClearWater system uses less electricity than other similar systems, keeping your costs down.
Finance is available too, if required
We offer complete flexibility with ClearWater. We can supply and install bunded diesel fuel stations, fertiliser mixing tanks, petrol and chemical storage, extra electrics for additional equipment - in fact, a complete turnkey package!
