Water Wash Spray Booths

Water wash spray booths are typically used by product manufacturers that, specific to their industry, work in a number of spray-painting environments. These are industries that have a particular need for equipment that removes paint particulate from a work area.

In addition to an annual 14-month service, stipulated by LEV testing requirements, a water wash spray booth ideally needs to undergo a daily clean and check. The daily check procedure is broken down as follows: • After use, check the unit filter using the manometer on the side panel • Give the spray area a thorough clean • Check the water level and adjust if too low

A water wash booth uses recirculating water instead of filters, to remove paint particulate from the air. The benefit to the quality of work a water wash spray booth can bring, is two-fold: it’ll improve working conditions overall, and because no filters need to be replaced, money is saved, and productivity is increased.

There are a number of advantages when it comes to using water wash spray booths: • No filters to replace means less production interruptions, and reduced cost • Some particulates, fumes or VOCs are flammable and can ignite – a water wash booth removes that risk • Overall working condition improves drastically when water is involved, as opposed to filters – water captures and neutralises more paint particulate, in general

There are a number of ways to clear the waste by product that spraying with a water wash booth creates. • Clear the waste yourself by hand spading it into waste bags and disposing of it in waste (not a harmful by product) • Some people prefer to employ a professional company who can use a lorry with suction pump attachment to clean away the waste allowing you clean down with clean water. • Always ensure which ever way you remove waste that you keep the Ph level at a neutral number and also treat the spray booth with denaturants to ward of legionnaires and other bacteria that can be harmful to humans.
