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 system comprises three high quality rotationally moulded polyethylene tanks. These are UV stabilised, leak free, corrosion resistant and are installed below ground (all you can see are the turret tops!). These tanks are fully guaranteed and, subject to our commissioning and an annual inspection/service, this is renewable. Each tank has various components fitted to complete the system, ensuring complete aeration throughout and effective operation. (these components carry a 12 month warranty)The total storage capacity in the standard system is 3000 litres of water (larger capacities available).

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) entering the first 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 to the second tank for primary storage and settling of any suspended solids remaining in the, now clean, water. The clean water passes to a final storage tank and is fed by a low-wattage, submersible pump/s operating at 50 psi to water gun/s for effective wash-off.

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 Course Care ClearWater washpad 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 too, however. With very few moving parts and less to go wrong, maintenance costs are minimal. We do charge an inexpensive annual maintenance fee which covers a full year's warranty and a visit from one of our trained engineers each 12 months to inspect and service the system and re-validate your tanks warranty for a further 12 months.
Our micro-organisms have been produced specifically for our systems and for the work you will be 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, too, keeping 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!
