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
How big are your wash bays?
Our Mark II Portable Wash Bays are a unique modular system that lets you expand your wash bay for whatever purpose or size. The modules come in two sizes; small, 3.25m wide x 2.4m deep and large, 6.5m wide x 2.4m deep. By connecting multiple decks, you can increase the depth of the wash bay to your requirements. Each module adds an extra 2.4 metres while maintaining its 3.25 m or 6.5 m width.
In some cases, the modules of portable wash bays can be adjusted to fit site constraints. By shifting the orientation, the long sides can become the depth and access to the bay is made from its 2.4m edge. With this flexibility, you can connect and orient your wash bays in whatever way best suits each specific situation.
What configurations are available?
Whatever you need, we have the perfect wall, ramp, vehicle wash mat and shelter options for you. Our configurable solutions can be tailored to your exact needs.
Popular configurations include drive-through (two walls), drive-on & reverse-off (three walls) or just open spaces with no walls at all. Whatever you need for your wash bay project, our products will provide a low-maintenance and cost-effective solution.
What can be washed with portable wash bays equipment?
Our clients have used our portable wash bays for a wide variety of purposes, from motorbikes and plant equipment to forklifts, excavators, cranes and more. Our smaller decks can accommodate up to 1 tonne per tyre across the entire deck, while our larger decks can handle up to 6 tonnes per tyre.

Are the decks slippery?
Cleanawater's deck and ramp modules are treated with a specially-selected non-slip polyurethane coating to enhance security and avoid accidental slips.
How do they hold up in the weather?
Our wind-loaded rated walls will withstand the harsh conditions in most Australian environments, while the wash bays are designed with hot-dip galvanised steel for superior protection.
Are your portable wash bays available for hire?
We've been listening to our customers and understand that many would like access to hiring options. We are currently looking into ways in which we can make this available.
Could there be a blockage under the deck?
As debris may accumulate over time, we've crafted our mobile wash bays with 45° angled pipes beneath the decks instead of 90°. This allows for easy clean-out and unclogging of any obstructions that arise.
How do you clean out the gutter?
The gutter channel has been specifically crafted to accommodate a standard channel spade, making removing any blockages that may form easy. All you have to do is lift off the gutter grate and clear out the clogged-up area.
What can be washed in your portable washing bay equipment?
Our portable wash bays have been utilised for a range of purposes across multiple clients, such as:
- Large cranes
- Motorbikes
- Plant equipment
- Forklifts
- Cars
- Trucks
- Excavators
Our decks can accommodate up to 1 tonne per vehicle tyre across their entire surface area. For our larger decks, this capacity rises exponentially, supporting 6 tonnes or more per single tyre.
