SINGAPORE: One-fifth of a swimming pool can be filled with water from Boon’s Carwash, which uses roughly 500,000 gallons per quarter.
The company in Sin Ming Lane now uses stronger chemicals and high pressure to use less water, which results in a 10 % usage reduction. & nbsp,
However, with rising water charges, it is looking to take additional action.
” When we wash the car, a significant amount of dirt comes out of it. Therefore, a program will be needed to recycle all of this water and filter it to make it cleaner water, according to its founder Boon Junn Whye, adding that business areas like the one where his company is located are not designed for that.
He continued,” We have been speaking with water recycling companies to see if they have any new systems that could be fitted into our constrained space, and we have also spoken with a number of friends from the same industry who could help( us ) recycle the water.”
The company is also looking into using mechanical devices that could streamline operations while using less water.
In order to deal with rising water production and supply costs, the regional water company PUB announced last week that it would raise its water price by 50 cents per square meter over the course of two years. & nbsp,
When the bill arrives, we’ll see how it actually affects us in terms of the cash because water is something we are greatly dependent on, Mr. Boon said.
