WASTE WATER DISPOSAL

The dirty recovery water from Hot Water Extraction (HWE) systems must be disposed of in a specific manner. The regulations vary across the country, but there are obvious common sense rules that should be followed: NEVER dump into the street, driveway or parking lot. Do NOT dump into a storm sewer, creek or other body of water. All Bane-Clene detergents, such as Preface®, TLS® 2000, PCA™ Formula 5, LCA®-256, Super LCA™ and Booster™ are fully biodegradable. Our deodorizers and spotters, except Saf-T-Solv™, are also biodegradable. The pH of the waste water with Bane-Clene chemicals is normally 7.5 to 8.5, eliminating the requirements in most municipalities calling for neutralization. We do suggest contacting the local authorities to apprise yourself of any and all regulations. Before dumping into yours or any other SANITARY sewer system always filter out solid material so as not to clog drains, pumps, etc. Dumping into a septic system is risky; it requires plenty of excess capacity.
