Insights from Moleaer's Josh Bachner on Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast
As car wash operators face rising water costs, tighter regulations, and increasing pressure to improve wash quality, many are rethinking how water is treated and reused onsite.
In a recent episode of Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast, host Brian Ankney sat down with Josh Bachner, SVP of Marketing and CorporateDevelopment at Moleaer, to discuss how Moleaer nanobubble technology is helping car washes operate more efficiently, without major system overhauls.
Improving Reclaim Water Performance
For many carwash operators, reclaim water systems are a constant challenge. Odors, suspended solids, and inconsistent water clarity can affect wash quality and customer experience.
Moleaer's technology helps reclaim systems in several ways:
- Highly efficient gas injection, including oxygen or ozone
- Reduced odors by increasing dissolved oxygen levels
- Improved solids separation, making suspended material easier to remove
- Clearer reclaim water, leading to more stable system performance
These improvements help operators get more value out of reclaimed water while reducing operational headaches.
Better Cleaning and Faster Drying
Nanobubbles also play a role on the freshwater side of the wash. When applied to clean water, Moleaer's technology enhances how water interacts with vehicle surfaces.
In practical terms, this means:
- Improved dirt removal from vehicle surfaces
- Reduced reliance on wash chemistry
- Faster water runoff, supporting improved drying performance
Bachner compares nanobubbles to microscopic “scrubbing particles” in the water, helping lift dirt more effectively while allowing operators to use less chemical and fewer drying agents.
Easy Integration into Existing Car Wash Systems
One key takeaway from the podcast: Moleaer's technology is designed to integrate easily into existing car wash infrastructure. Depending on the application, installation can be as simple as adding an inline unit to an existing reclaim loop or installing a compact standalone system. In many cases, installs can be completed without extended downtime.
Proven Beyond the Car Wash Industry
While nanobubble technology is newer to the car wash market, it’s already deployed across thousands of full-scale installations worldwide in industries like wastewater treatment, irrigation, aquaculture, and surface water management. That real-world operating history gives car wash operators confidence that the technology is proven, scalable, and reliable.
