Reliable Dosing Systems for Car Wash Applications

Are you running a high-performance car wash? If yes, then consistent chemical application is non-negotiable. Doesn’t matter if it’s a tunnel wash, in-bay automatic, or self-serve system; the right chemical dosing setup can dramatically impact the quality of the wash. It can also improve operational efficiency and chemical savings. At Water Treatment Supply, we provide advanced metering and dosing solutions. These are built to withstand the demanding environments of modern car wash systems. Our dosing systems are engineered for commercial reliability. These systems are compatible with a wide variety of car wash automation platforms.

The Importance of Dosing Accuracy in Car Wash Systems

Car wash chemicals, including detergents, waxes, and pre-soaks, need precise dilution and application. This helps it to perform effectively. Over-dosing leads to product waste and possible surface damage, while under-dosing compromises cleaning results. That’s where a dedicated car wash metering pump system becomes essential.

Our solutions ensure every drop is delivered with precision. This minimizes chemical waste, reduces equipment wear, and maintains wash consistency across every cycle. Proper dosing also helps meet equipment warranty standards by ensuring chemical delivery falls within recommended specifications.

Our Car Wash Metering Pump System Offering

WTS supplies industry-grade, reliable pump systems tailored for the car wash industry. These systems are designed for compatibility with a wide range of wash chemicals. They offer longevity and need minimal maintenance. Each system is pre-tested for performance and chemical compatibility. This is done to ensure operational efficiency from day one.

• Solenoid Metering Pumps for Car Wash

The solenoid metering pump for car wash systems is a popular choice for automatic chemical injection. These pumps are compact and cost-effective. They are ideal for low- to medium-viscosity fluids. Their pulse-based mechanism ensures accurate flow control, even with fluctuating water pressure.

We offer solenoid pumps from trusted global brands. These are engineered to operate efficiently in harsh, wet environments commonly found in car washes. These pumps integrate easily into tight equipment spaces, thus making them ideal for retrofitting or system upgrades.

• Digital Dosing Pump for Car Wash Systems

Our digital dosing pumps offer unmatched programmability. These make them ideal for car washes with varying wash programs. Digital pumps also support integration with car wash PLC systems for synchronized, automated chemical delivery. These systems allow for:

• Easy flow rate adjustments
• Timed or triggered dosing
• Error alerts for blocked lines or empty chemical tanks

With precise calibration and user-friendly digital interfaces, these pumps reduce chemical waste while maximizing application efficiency.

• Pulsatron Dosing Pump: A Proven Workhorse

We also supply the trusted Pulsatron dosing pump. It is known across industries for its durability, chemical compatibility, and smooth operation. This pump line is particularly favored in large-scale car wash operations that require reliable dosing under varying flow rates and backpressure.

The pump is available in multiple models and output capacities. Pulsatron pumps can be seamlessly integrated into existing wash bay setups or installed in new builds. We offer Pulsatron pumps with various diaphragm materials to suit different chemical compositions used in car washes.

System Compatibility and Customization

Our car wash dosing systems are compatible with a variety of common wash solutions, including:

• Alkaline and acidic pre-soaks
• Foaming detergents
• Drying agents
• Triple foams
• Tire and wheel cleaners

Every car wash setup is different from the others. All the more reason to first assess your system’s pressure, flow rates, and chemical requirements and then choose the right combination of pumps and controllers.
