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?
The disposal of wastewater depends on your site’s location and the type of sewage being managed. To comply with local water authorities, the wastewater can be handled in the following ways:
-
Arranging for Cleanawater operators to remove the wastewater.
-
Discharging directly into a sewer system (you must hold a licence to discharge to the sewer).
-
Redirecting the wastewater to a septic tank effluent disposal scheme (STEDS)—in this case, you or a Cleanawater representative can liaise with the council to confirm acceptance.
What if I can't access a sewer system on my site?
If there’s no sewerage system access, wastewater from your portable car wash bay can be redirected to a holding tank.
Cleanawater, as a licensed liquid waste contractor, can empty the tank efficiently while ensuring compliance with industry standards. This is an ideal solution for businesses using portable car wash equipment or managing mobile car wash systems.
How do Cleanawater portable car wash bays treat water?
Cleanawater’s portable car wash bays are designed to meet diverse industry needs. Typically, our portable car wash systems:
-
Filter and remove large particles, dirt, and debris such as plastic.
-
Collect water in a tank to separate oils from the water, ensuring compliance with local water authority regulations.
Additional features can be customised depending on your business’s operational requirements. Contact our team of wastewater treatment experts today to learn more about how our portable car washing machines treat water.
