Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my wash down bay is AQIS compliant?
AQIS wash bays need to meet specific guidelines. These differ from regulations for typical wash down bays based on criteria classification.
Contact AQIS (Department of Agriculture and Water Resources) or call Cleanawater on 1800 353 788 to confirm your criteria eligibility.
I have a wash down bay – what upgrades do I need for AQIS compliance?
This is determined by AQIS. For water treatment, this may be as small as installing a 100 micron filter.
Does an AQIS wash bay need a roof?
Generally, no. This will be determined by your criteria classification.
Contact AQIS or Cleanawater on 1800 353 788 to confirm.
What detergents and degreasers should use in wash down?
Quick-break, biodegradable detergents and degreasers should be used at all times.
Quick-break degreasers allow oil and water to separate within minutes of application. This helps your oil separation system function effectively in removing oil before discharge. Non-quick break compounds may keep oil and water in suspension for several hours, allowing oil to pass through an oil water separator.
How do I best retain solids that accumulate in my quarantine wash bay?
Quarantine wash bays can benefit from silt traps and baffled pits. For wash down environments with high levels of solids, beach pits and drive-in sumps are ideal.
What permits do I need to install a wash down bay?
Typically, AQIS approval and trade waste approval are required if discharge is to sewerage. Inspections will be required by AQIS to approve the wash down area.
