The Challenge
The carwash chain faced three primary obstacles:
- Aging softeners across five locations were producing inconsistent water quality.
- Tight, limited mechanical room spaces required high-capacity equipment that could fit within restrictive footprints.
- Maintaining operations during installation was crucial to avoid downtime and disruptions to customers.
The Solution
To meet these needs, our team designed and installed 24×72 240K grain Twin Alternating custom-built softener systems at all five Michigan locations.
Key aspects of the solution included:
- Custom engineering to fit each system into small, unique mechanical spaces.
- Twin Alternating configuration ensures continuous access to soft water, even during regeneration cycles.
- High-capacity 240K grain tanks built to withstand the heavy daily water usage typical of commercial carwash operations.
- Streamlined project coordination, allowing all installations to be completed ahead of schedule.
The Result
The project produced immediate and measurable improvements:
- Consistent soft water supply 24/7, enhancing wash quality and minimizing spotting.
- Improved equipment longevity and performance across all five sites.
- Minimal operational disruption, thanks to the twin-alternating design and efficient installation process.
- Successful multi-site completion ahead of timeline, surpassing client expectations.
Conclusion
By replacing outdated softeners with high-capacity, custom-built Twin Alternating systems, this Michigan carwash chain now benefits from reliable, efficient, and consistent water treatment tailored to their high-demand environment. The project highlights smart planning, precise engineering, and seamless execution across multiple locations.
