Water Recycling System

What is Water Recycling System?

A water recycling system filters and reuses recovered water on a hydrovac or combination truck, extending runtime between refills by turning captured slurry or jetting water back into usable supply.

A water recycling system separates solids from the water the truck recovers, then feeds the filtered water back to the high-pressure pump. On combination trucks this lets crews jet sewers far longer between hydrant fills; on some hydrovac units it reduces water hauling and downtime.

Recycling boosts productivity and cuts water consumption, which is valuable on long municipal cleaning runs and remote sites. Availability varies by unit, so it is worth confirming when matching equipment to a job. Submit a free Vac4Rent request and rental companies can identify units with recycling.
