Boomerang Car Wash

Boomerang Carwash® provides a quick, environmentally friendly process to serve our guests. The state-of-the-art process and high-tech equipment minimizes the impact on the community utilities and natural resources.

Chemicals

Chemical consumption is an important economic and environmental concern.   All chemicals are biodegradable and provided by one of the most trustworthy companies in the detergent industry.  Management of chemical utilization is not only important to the economics but the environment, and flow values are tested regularly.  Detergents are supplied in their purest form reducing packaging, freight, and fuel costs.  They are mixed with water on site and controlled to the milliliter.  Additionally, chemicals are delivered in a high-tech system which uses a combination of pressured air and water to deliver the solution to the vehicle, reducing the demand for water by itself.

Water

Home washing and Self Serve facilities have little control over water consumption on a per car basis.  Water volumes used during an average home wash can easily exceed 100 gallons as stated by the International Carwash Association. Most self serve facilities have no water conservation or reclamation equipment, and home washing water directly enters our local rivers and streams.   Boomerang Carwash® invests in  three key water treatment processes to keep us under 30 gallons of fresh water used per car:

Reverse Osmosis Systems – purify city water to zero microns per gallon.  Each facility purifies and stores over 3,000 gallons of water at all times.  Purified water is used in the final rinse process in order to provide the best result.

Water Softener Systems – soften all fresh water used in the tunnel.  This process maximizes the chemical dilution during the mixing process.  Less chemical has to be used on a per car basis which leads to less water needed for rinsing.

Water Reclamation & Recycling Systems – control the amount of water utilized per wash and collect wash water for reuse.  The reclaim process is a major investment in technology and saves over 7.5 million gallons of water annually at each facility.  The process begins with the facility design and underground water collection tanks which collect water as it drains from the tunnel.  Solids are separated from the water during their journey through the tanks.  The water is then pumped back into a reclamation filtering process and used again in the early stages of the wash process.  This reduces fresh water consumption by an additional 60%.  The solids left in the tanks are professionally disposed of in accordance with government regulations.  This ensures we send no damaging agents into our rivers and streams.
