Portable Wash Rack Systems That Set Up In Just Hours

Golf courses have many unique problems in constructing a government approved wash rack. This can be very time consuming and complicated. The Hydropad portable wash rack system addresses these challenges. Imagine getting a wash rack in just one day without:

  • Architects
  • Engineering
  • Permitting
  • Demolition
  • Excavation and hauling
  • Underground pits, plumbing and containment
  • Construction of trenches and catch basins
  • Construction delays
  • Then the realization that you have put it in the wrong place

This wash pad is not a grated surface causing dirt and grass to drop through where it’s hard to remove. Our PATENTED Portable Wash Rack system sheds all water and debris to a side gutter where they are easily removed. Only the Hydropad can make this claim.

All types of golf course and turf care equipment can be washed quickly and environmentally friendly with our washing and wastewater recycling systems. Our Bio-Mechanical approach to water reclaim removes pesticides and chloroform found in wastewater from cleaning lawn maintenance equipment.

Portable Wash Rack System

The components are simple: a patented Hydropad portable wash rack which catches the water, a Bio-mechanical waste water recycling system and Hydroblaster pressure washer.

Select a Site for Your New Wash Rack

Any firm flat surface can handle the Hydropad turf care equipment wash rack. All you need is electric power and a fresh water source. Connections are simple.

Choose a Hydropad System to Fit

Hydropads are modular and connected together they will create any size wash pad. Just use the dimensions of your largest piece of equipment and allow space all around. This pad system is 24 feet long and 14 feet wide. Hydropads come in 8, 10, 12, 14 & 20’ wide x 8’ long. Our lightest weight pad will hold 6,000 pounds per square foot…even your largest piece of turf equipment is no problem!

Select Recycling Equipment

Our Bio/Mechanical approach to filtration is the only way to go. Why? Biological microbes and enzymes can break down and consume many organics but they can’t eat sand. Mechanical filtration can remove sand, free floating and emulsified oils and heavy metals but they cannot remove pesticides and chloroform from grass clippings. Our system does it all. Here’s how it works;

  1. Grass is removed by our self cleaning side gutter.
  2. Solids like sand, dirt and clay are removed to 5 microns nominal by our automatic solids filter, the CMAFU-2
  3. Free floating and emulsified oils are coalesced and skimmed off in the Oil Coalescing System (OCS).
  4. In stage four our Moving Bed Bioreactor (MBR) breaks down and consumes; light oils, fuels, COD, BOD, FOG, BETX, pesticides, fertilizers and chloroform.
  5. In the final polishing stage water is moved through a multi-media filter removing any residual hydrocarbons, silt and heavy metals then back to your washing system.

Plan on Pesticides and Other Contaminants

Pesticides are meant to kill bugs; microbes can be heavily affected by pesticides, but… not ours. Careful selection of the proper bacterial strains insures that toxic upsets from chemicals won’t kill your Bioreaction system.

Give Us Your Worst

Only the Hydro Engineering Portable Wash Rack System can handle the worst equipment you have on the course, even your street sweeper is no match for this system.

Need a Separate System for Golf Cars?

Washing golf carts is much different than washing turf equipment. First, the location will be close to the Club House where space is at a premium and a large system is not required. Golf Carts don't have heavy accumulations of grass, sod or sand like turf care equipment and therefore require much less extensive filtration methods.

In many cases a sanitary sewer connection is available at the Club House and only pre-treatment of the wastewater is required.

There are other factors to consider as well, if the golf cars are electric powered then acid (low pH) may affect the waste stream and require correction before discharge or recycling, Will washing more than one cart be important? If so, just use a longer Hydropad.

Hydro-Biodigesters

This unique bacterial and enzyme product consumes the organic chemicals and pesticides found in wash water from golf course equipment.  Bioreaction takes place consuming these contaminants naturally.  Recycled water odor is eliminated and filter system maintenance is reduced.

How to Sell the Boss

First show the boss what you have in mind. Here is a Power Point presentation in several easy to view files:

  1. Make sure the boss understands…the day the system arrives you will be washing and in compliance.
  2. Be sure to explain…this is equipment, not property and therefore it can be leased just like your turf equipment. With leasing you can get a very low payment because the life of the equipment is so long.
