The specific figures fc r <br /> fresh water use and discharge amounts are:given below:. y <br /> FRESH WATER CO\�L��TION <br /> Normal ly, fres.^. water is used only during' an bptronal- -fc-.1 <br /> shampoo and the final rinse or wax. The remainder of the <br /> various cycles use 100% recirculated, filtered water. =z <br /> average wash selection for a large vehicle will req' -re <br /> approximately 7 gallons of fresh water. <br /> AVERAGE CONSUMPTION PER CAR: 7 GALLONS <br /> i <br /> WATER DISCHARG° TO SEWER <br /> A substantial amount of water is "lost" at a car`wash location <br /> do to several factors . These are: 1 . Vehicle carry out; 2 • <br /> Evaporational loss from the floor and walls; 3. Direct <br /> atomization to the air from the water nozzles . Typically 205 <br /> of the total water used (fresh and reclaim)- will need to be <br /> replaced; this occurs during the fresh water rinse and averages <br /> approximately 3 gallons per vehicle (some locations actually <br /> achieve a balanced condition) . <br /> Therefore, the water discharged is equal to the total fresh X <br /> water used (7 gallons) minus the water "lost" (3 gallons) . is <br /> AVERAGE DISCHARGE PER CAR: 4 GALLONS ? <br /> I believe these figures are factual and would welcome any <br /> additional questions.
