Equipment Wash Bays & Golf Course Water Management

Golf course superintendents and facility operators face a critical compliance challenge: maintaining pristine courses while meeting strict federal, state, and local environmental standards.

While conventional oil-water separators and sludge traps are installed at many equipment wash pads, the resulting runoff often fails to comply with stringent EPA guidelines and Clean Water Act (CWA) regulations. Discharging non-compliant, hydrocarbon-laden wastewater can lead to severe environmental penalties and violations of local NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permits.
With the GOtec® wastewater treatment system, DEHOUST delivers a fully engineered, compliant solution. The system purifies wash bay runoff to meet or exceed strict discharge codes for municipal sewers OR—even better—recycles it as a sustainable closed-loop solution for immediate reuse in equipment cleaning, turf irrigation, or toilet flushing. Engineered for scalability, GOtec® processes from 130 to 2,650 gallons (500 to 10,000 liters) per day, delivering hygienically safe, high-quality non-potable water that mitigates environmental liabilities.
Beyond environmental compliance, the GOtec® system delivers substantial financial benefits by drastically cutting municipal water costs. In the US, commercial facilities face escalating water rates and heavy sewer surcharges for discharging high-load wastewater. By recycling wash pad runoff onsite, operators can reduce their freshwater consumption and subsequent sewage fees by up to 80%. This dual-use efficiency lowers monthly utility bills, mitigates regulatory fees, and ensures a rapid return on investment (ROI) for your facility.
