Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about how water recycling works
How long does the recycling process take?
The complete recycling process is fast and continuous, so there's always recycled water available. Your washing machines never wait for water.
Will recycled water affect linen quality or whiteness?
No, the water from whites and colours will be separated. Recycled water is clear, colorless, and odorless. Hotels and hospitals using our systems report the same or better linen quality.
Can all the filtered water be reused, or just some of it?
45-65% of water will be filtered. Of that, it is expected that most, if not all water will be reused.
What happens if the recycling system breaks down?
The system is designed with automatic failover. If any issue is detected, washing machines automatically switch to 100% fresh water. Your laundry operations continue without interruption. The system has 99.2% uptime, and our remote monitoring catches issues before they cause downtime.
How much space does a water recycling system need?
2-5m² of floor space. Systems can be installed indoors or outdoors in weatherproof enclosures. We design around your space constraints during the free site assessment.
How does the Wientjens Blue Ocean system compare to other water recycling technologies?
The Wientjens Blue Ocean is an all-in-one system combining water recycling, heat recovery, and energy recapture in a single unit. It uses advanced disc filtration to achieve 45-65% water savings with 99.2% uptime.
