About our portable wash bays for cars and light vehicles
Portable wash bay systems are generally set up to capture wastewater from the process of cleaning cars and equipment such as mechanical parts. The wash bay floor decks can be orientated to cater to various sites and applications and installed with a pump, controller, oil water separator and pumping station for transfer to the sewer if required.
Our wash bay design is superior
Our well-designed wash bays provide businesses with an efficient process to wash vehicles or equipment. We’ve added custom high-pressure wash-down systems with water supply points to deliver high-pressure water around the vehicle and automatically apply detergent. The cleaning quality from a Cleanawater wash bay is far superior to a manual operation which is inadequate in design and equipment.

- Compliant with regulations

- Eliminate the need for underground civils/ equipment

The portable wash bay system's mobility eliminates the need for in-ground works, making them the best solution for sites where ground disturbance is prohibitive or where there is a possibility of future relocation.

Customer reviews
I have been a plumber for over thirty years and installed many water treatment systems. CleanaWater systems are by far the best for quality and reliability. They provide excellent customer service, from sales staff right through to expert advice and technical help. Can't thank CleanaWater enough!
Iain Paterson, Multilple Trades and Maintenance
We have seen a fantastic improvement since the OdourPro VapourGard™ system was installed 3 years ago. The system mitigates the heavy odours which are released from the site, which has improved conditions for our staff and almost completely eliminated complaints from local residents and businesses
Glenn Claverie, Select Civil
The whole process was very simple, the sales and technical support was great, when needed contact was made easily for assistance during construction and the finished product works and looks fantastic, all in all working with the CleanaWater team to purchase our new Portable Wash Bay was a trouble free process
Doug Neil, Stihl Sales and Service Centre Coffs Harbour
The purchasing of our oil separator, from obtaining a quote through to delivery, was made extremely easy through CleanaWater, the staff are easy to deal with and make the whole process hassle-free, as well as supplying a quality product. I would highly recommend CleanaWater products in the future.
Bret Sheehan, Surefire Plumbing Services
The VapourGard™ system is a great alternative to the other odour suppression systems out there. The unit is easy to use and maintain, does not need a portable water source to dilute the chemical and has a low chemical usage which cuts down on cost.
Nicholas Bhugon, SITA Australia
Cleanawater have been very helpful in getting the solution ordered and out the door to us as quickly as possible. All this in the midst of supply chain issues globally. It’s nice when things still, just, work!
Tom Filipcic, FUCHS Lubricants (Australasia) Pty. Ltd.
In combination with a wide range of operational controls, we have found that complaints from our neighbours have significantly reduced since the VapourGard was installed.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the wastewater go when my portable car wash bay is used?
This will depend on the location of your site and the type of wastewater being disposed of. To remain compliant with local water authorities, the wastewater can be disposed of by:
Making an arrangement with Cleanawater operators for wastewater removal
Discharging directly into a sewerage system but you must have a licence to discharge to the sewer
Discharging to a septic tank effluent disposal scheme (STEDS) — in this case, you or a Cleanawater representative can contact the council to ensure the wastewater will be accepted
Recycling the water through a unit which removes the pollutants, allowing you to reuse the water
What if I don't have access to a sewer system on my site?
If you don't have access to a sewerage system, the wastewater from the washbay can be redirected to a holding tank which can be emptied by a Cleanawater operator. As licenced liquid waste collectors and contractors, we can efficiently remove wastewater while remaining compliant with industry standards.
How do Cleanawater portable car wash bays treat water?
Most industries require similar portable wash bay systems. Generally speaking, our portable car wash bay systems will:
- Filter and remove large particles, dirt, and even debris like plastic
- Collect water in a tank so oils can be separated from the water — this is an essential criterion to remain compliant with local water authorities
However, your business may require extra features depending on your operational needs. If you'd like to find out more about how our wash bays treat water, get in touch with our friendly team of wastewater treatment experts.
