Car Wash Water Softeners & Spot Free Rinse Water Equipment

 What does the Electronic RO Control Panel do and why is it important to your Car Wash business?

A: The Electronic Control Panel with function indicators provides hands-free and worry-free operation of several functions of the Car Wash RO system. The basic RO functions include the "feed pressure switch" and "tank float switch" which regulates the system operating. The "feed pressure switch" ensures that your incoming water pressure is high enough for the RO system to operate (typically above 25psi). The "tank float switch" tells the RO system to shut down or start up based on your storage tank's water level. These basic functions are built into the RO control panel for smarter regulation and eliminates external switches.

A bonus feature included in our Electronic RO Control Panel is automatic membrane flushing. Most light commercial RO systems on the market today do not provide a membrane flush, which helps extend the life of the membrane by removing the concentrate brine (extremely salty water expelled by the membrane) sitting on the surface. Our light commercial Car Wash RO systems included a manual membrane flush that allowed the user to flush the membrane as they wanted to. With this Electronic RO Control Panel, our customers no longer need to worry about remembering to flush the membrane constantly; this control panel automatically activates a membrane flush both at start up and shut down, ensuring longevity of your RO membrane.

The most important feature on this control panel, however, is the low pressure shutdown. Both public city water users and private well water users can suffer from periods of low pressure which can have a great negative affect on any RO system. If you experience a period of low pressure, a standard RO system would cycle on and off until the pressure is regulated. This can cause wear and irreversible damage to the RO pump motor and external feed pressure switch, resulting in costly, down-time and labor-intensive repair. Our RO control panel prevents this from happening by automatically shutting down the RO system if your feed pressure remains low for an extended period of time.

Each function of the control panel is displayed with varying indicator lights to let you know how the system is running. You won't have to wait until it's too late and there is no water when you turn on a tap. Our Electronic RO Control Panel prevents potential RO malfunctions from happening and allows you to catch the culprit in time, before it has a chance to harm your system. This fully automated control is a must-have for any business owner that wants a hassle-free solution to many water problems. 

An optional feature on our RO control panel is pretreatment lockout. When pretreatment is needed to protect the RO system, a backwashing filter or water softener is used. When these pretreatment systems shut down to clean themselves, they allow unfiltered water to pass by the system and get into the RO if it's running at this time. To prevent possible exposure to unfiltered water a pretreatment lockout switch can be used to shut down the RO system when the water softener or filter is regenerating. Once the pretreatment system is finished regenerating, the switch will reactivate the RO system again. Both the RO system and the pretreatment system will need to be specially fitted with pretreatment lockout. This option is included free of charge when you add any of our pretreatment water softeners, iron filters, or backwashing systems to your RO/DI Package!

In almost all reverse osmosis applications, providing pretreatment for the feed water protects and extends the life of the purification. While there are some exceptions, some type of pretreatment equipment is almost always used to protect the RO system. We offer complete pretreatment capabilities that include, iron filters, sediment removal, water softeners, chlorine filters, antiscalant systems, UV ultraviolet disinfection and more. Contact Sales@RainDanceWaterSystems.com for all your pretreatment needs. Note: Any free pretreatment offers will be included in your quote.

Reverse Osmosis Storage Tank Options:

Reverse osmosis systems produce water as a small stream, so a separate storage tank is needed to store water for use. Use your own storage tank or combine with one of ours!
