Tekleen Self-Cleaning Water Filtration for Car Wash Systems

The Challenge: Maintaining Water Quality in Car Wash Operations

Every car wash operation faces a constant battle against water contamination. As vehicles move through the wash cycle, they introduce a mix of road salt, sand, organic debris, oil residues, and other contaminants. Without proper water filtration, these particulates lead to clogged nozzles, excessive equipment wear, and increased maintenance costs.

Car washes typically rely on multi-stage water filtration, but traditional methods require frequent maintenance and filter replacements, driving up costs and downtime. Tekleen’s automatic self-cleaning water filters provide a smarter, more efficient solution—delivering continuous water filtration for your car wash without any interruptions.

Why Tekleen?

Unlike conventional filters that require constant monitoring, Tekleen self-cleaning water filters remove debris automatically without manual intervention or disruption to the clean flow of water. Designed for reliability, Tekleen systems ensure uninterrupted performance, optimal water quality, and long-term cost savings.
