The TideRite Reclaim System
What a Reclaim Pressure-Washing System Does
A reclaim system recovers the wastewater your pressure washing creates — vacuuming it off the surface and into onboard storage instead of letting it flow into storm drains. That single capability changes the kind of work you can bid, because many commercial and municipal customers cannot allow wash water runoff on their property.
Jobs Where Water Recovery May Be Required
Wash water recovery commonly comes up on fuel stations and fleet yards, parking garages, drive-thru lanes near storm inlets, municipal contracts, and any site near water-sensitive areas. Customers in these markets frequently require contractors to demonstrate how wash water will be contained before awarding work.
Recovery equipment may help meet bid requirements when water capture is specified.
Evaluating Recovery Capacity and Equipment
When comparing reclaim setups, look at how the system captures water at the surface, how much recovered water it can store relative to your fresh water supply, and how practical it is to work with on a real job — hose handling, setup time, and how the rig fits on constrained sites. A system you can deploy quickly is a system your crew will actually use.
Local Wastewater Rules
Stormwater and wastewater discharge rules are set at the federal, state and local level, and they differ significantly between jurisdictions — including how recovered water must be disposed of after the job.
Important: reclaim equipment alone does not guarantee regulatory compliance. Operators must verify the requirements that apply in each jurisdiction where they work and follow local disposal rules for recovered wash water.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a reclaim pressure washing system?
A system that recovers wash water from the surface being cleaned and stores it onboard, instead of letting it run into storm drains. It lets contractors work on sites where runoff is not permitted.
Do I need a reclaim system to pressure wash legally?
It depends on your local stormwater rules and the sites you work on. Many jurisdictions restrict wash water from entering storm drains, and many commercial and municipal customers require containment. Verify the rules in your service area.
Does owning reclaim equipment make me compliant?
No. Equipment alone does not guarantee regulatory compliance — you must follow the wastewater capture and disposal requirements of each jurisdiction where you work.
What kind of work does a reclaim trailer help me win?
Recovery capability is commonly requested on fuel stations, parking garages, fleet yards, municipal contracts and water-sensitive sites — markets that often screen out contractors who cannot contain runoff.
