Water is the lifeblood of every car wash business, but without proper monitoring, thousands of gallons can be wasted daily—driving up costs and hurting profitability. NOWi’s car wash water monitoring system ensures that every drop is accounted for, helping operators optimize efficiency, cut costs, and even qualify for sewer credits.
Why Water Monitoring Matters for Car Washes
A car wash's water efficiency is typically measured in gallons per car (GPC). Too high, and you're wasting water; too low, and your equipment may not be functioning correctly. Many car washes struggle with:
✅ Excessive water usage, increasing utility costs and waste
✅ Undetected equipment failures, leading to poor wash quality
✅ Difficulty obtaining sewer credits, without accurate water tracking
✅ Lack of visibility, making optimization nearly impossible
With NOWi’s real-time water monitoring, car washes can finally gain control over their water usage, reduce waste, and ensure operations run smoothly.
How NOWi’s Smart Water Monitoring Works
Our system tracks both incoming water usage and the number of cars washed, providing real-time data to help car wash owners and managers optimize their operations.
🔹 Water Flow Monitoring: Tracks total usage and calculates gallons per car (GPC) in real time
🔹 Car Counting: Provides accurate per-car water usage for better efficiency tracking
🔹 Automated Alerts: Detects excessive water use, leaks, or potential equipment failure
🔹 Sewer Credit Reporting: Accurately tracks water discharge for rebate eligibility
🔹 No WiFi Required: Reliable data transmission without dependency on internet connectivity
🔹 Easy Installation: Installs in minutes with no plumbing modifications
Optimize Gallons Per Car to Maximize Profits
Car wash operators should aim for an optimal gallons per car (GPC) range to balance efficiency and performance. Our system flags anomalies, so if:
🚨 GPC is too high, it may indicate a leak or inefficient nozzles
🚨 GPC is too low, equipment malfunctions could be affecting wash quality
By tracking the exact number of cars washed alongside total water usage, NOWi’s system ensures precise GPC calculations, allowing you to adjust settings, detect issues early, and maintain peak efficiency.
Earn Sewer Credits & Reduce Water Bills
Many municipalities offer sewer credits for water that does not enter the sewer system. However, without a water monitoring system, car washes miss out on these savings. NOWi’s system accurately measures sewer discharge and car counts, making it easier to apply for and receive sewer rebates—putting money back in your pocket.
