Automatic Drive Thru Car Wash

If you need to wash a lot of vehicles in a limited space without disrupting existing operations or starting a construction project, Hydro Engineering can provide an above-ground automatic drive-through car wash solution.

The Hydropad wash rack mounted automatic drive-through car wash combines automatic car wash equipment with Hydro Engineering's vehicle wash rack water-capture platform and wash water filtration systems. The result is a complete equipment package for reliable vehicle washing, water capture, filtration, and reuse.

Key advantages

  • Hydropad portable wash racks with walls can be arrayed on existing floors to create an above-ground wash bay.
  • The system can be installed inside an existing building with minimal construction.
  • No costly in-ground trench drains or sumps are required.
  • Power, water, and sewer connections are the primary utilities needed.
  • Wash and rinse water is collected, filtered, and recycled to reduce water use and sewer discharge by 70-80%.

A Hydropad-based wash rack mounted automatic car wash package is a practical option when a permanent concrete wash bay is not the right fit.

System concept

Wash, collect, and reclaim above ground. Assemble the Hydropads, connect power, water, and sewer, and begin washing.
