      Hi,

      I am completing the washdown facility task and am looking into the possibility of recycling the water which poses the question of what size is the weed matter to be filtered. As this will effect the direction taken with filtering etc of the waste water.

      Thanks for your help

        Hi Michael,

        Thanks for your question, and great to see you’re looking at maximising environmental benefits through water recycling.

        Generally it will be seeds and small plant matter which is caught in vehicles. Your design should account for anything else that might be on the car too, for example rocks, dirt or mud, and be robust enough to filter that out too.

        Hope this helps!
        Rachel
