Environmental care: Kärcher water reclamation systems.
Kärcher water reclamation systems save money while protecting the environment. With physical particle filtering using a hydrocyclone, all of the waste water is fed back into the washing process, reducing fresh water consumption by up to 85 %.
[A] Discharging wastewater via the reservoir system into the sewage system
[B] Discharging wastewater via the recycled water tank into the sewage system
The recycling cycle
The waste water flows through the sediment basin [1] to the pump storage basin [2]. From there, it is pumped through the hydrocyclone [3] into the recycling water tank [4] and made available for use in the washing process using a supply pump [5]. Excess water can be discharged via the overflow of the pump storage basin into the sewer either directly or via a separator, depending on legal [6] regulations. The waste water can also be discharged to the sewer directly from the recycled water tank [7]. In this case there is no connection between the pump storage basin and the sewer.
