Water savings in industrial laundries
Currently, efficiency, sustainability, and water savings are increasingly relevant topics. That’s why at DOMUS, we are committed to promoting water savings and responsible water use in industrial and professional laundries.
Our constant effort to find ecological solutions for industrial laundries has led us to conduct numerous studies to investigate the real needs of a modern and environmentally friendly laundry, ranging from energy savings to water management and washing efficiency.
These analyses, together with a significant investment in R&D, allow us to design machinery with the latest technology year after year, capable of responding to the real problems and challenges that industrial laundry owners face on a daily basis.
For example, DOMUS industrial washing machines include a wide variety of efficient features such as the weighing system, to ensure that washing cycles use only the necessary amount of water and chemicals, contributing to the reduction of water consumption and the preservation of the environment.
In addition, it is also possible to save even more water and energy by connecting the washing machines to the ECOTANK or the new ECOTANK XL water recovery tanks.
What is ECOTANK?
ECOTANK is a water recovery tank that can be easily connected to front-loading washers or models with a sanitary barrier from our catalogue, thanks to the advanced TOUCH II microprocessor technology.
It is an innovative product designed to improve the performance and efficiency of industrial washers. Industrial laundries can optimize their resources even further and achieve significant savings of up to 70% in annual water consumption (combining the Ecotank with a washing machine with weighing system), making them the ideal choice for a wide variety of environments such as hospitals, care homes, industries, correctional facilities, hotels, and residences while caring for the planet and striving for a more sustainable future for all.
How does ECOTANK work?
The ECOTANK tank is quickly installed and configured to the washing machine thanks to the TOUCH II microprocessor. Each tank has a connection for the water inlet and another for the steam, water and drain outlet. It also has two water level sensors in each tank indicating the minimum and maximum water level.
Types of ECOTANK:
We offer two types of ECOTANK tanks depending on the capacity of the washing machines:
Current water regulations
Currently there are certain regulations according to the BOE (Official State Gazette) depending on the water regulations such as:
- Temporary suspension of exploitation.
- Recovery of catchments for supplying the population.
- Admission of dilution.
- Authorisations for actions involving depletion of the water table.
- Procedure for the temporary modification of the conditions of use of the public water domain.
- Determination of monthly water consumption limitations.
Other ways to save water in your business
Water consumption in a company can be significant and costly, so it is very important that companies find ways to reduce consumption and their water footprint. Here are some tips on how to save water in your business:
- Install water-saving devices
- Recycle and reuse water
- Monitor water consumption
- Promote awareness and education on water saving among your employees.
- Upgrade, if necessary, obsolete equipment and processes that do not benefit water saving.
- If your company has gardens or green areas, you should regulate irrigation systems such as drip irrigation or sprinklers with timers.
In summary, if you own or manage an industrial laundry and want to save water and energy significantly, do not hesitate and add ECOTANK or ECOTANK XL water recovery tanks to your industrial washers.
