Beat the Competition with a Slot Drain System
Car washes do not fail because they are bad, they fail because they are average. Consumers vote with their wallets and the most enticing, most efficient car washes are going to come out on top as the most profitable.
Technology has evolved in both tunnel style and self-serve car washes increase exponentially over the last decade. From cameras and sensors to water purification and reclamation units. But have you considered the importance of car wash drainage systems?
Water and drainage are at the core of a car wash. Make sure your car wash drainage system keeps pace with the rest of the technology in your operation.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
If you are functioning on old grated trench style drains with large pits you could be missing out on multiple fronts. Large grated trench drains and pits can be ugly and hazardous to customers (if they become damaged). They can also be hard to clean which can lead to greater stresses on those expensive water reclamation systems.
Slot Drain Systems are designed for looks, hygiene and durability. They are rapidly becoming the standard in the evolving market of car washes.
Engineered to Withstand Vehicle Traffic
Your car wash needs drains that are engineered to stand up to heavy loads and to last a lifetime. Whether in a tunnel wash or a self-serve, owners need to plan for not only repeated traffic from cars and trucks, but also the possibility of impacts to the drain.

Slot Drain systems are engineered to integrate and fit flush with the surrounding pavement making them durable and beautiful. They are also ASME load rated for heavy loads.
