New Karcher Mississippi Water Recovery System
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The Mississippi Recovery is for pressure washing contractors, fleet washers and construction crews who need to keep wash water out of storm drains. It vacuums up runoff through a 2-inch hose and scupper head and pumps it to a holding tank at up to 30 gallons per minute.
What stands out is how it fits into a mobile setup. It runs on a standard 120-volt, 15-amp circuit or a 3,500-watt generator, the base bolts onto a trailer, and the 3-stage vacuum motor is rated for water up to 120°F, so it can work behind surface cleaners and hot water machines. A high water shutdown protects the unit, and the filter basket is reachable from the top for clearing solids.
The trade-off is that the system only contains what you route to it. The 27-gallon tank fills fast, so plan on a holding tank, or plumb an auxiliary tank to the bulkhead fitting, and add the optional water dikes or drain covers to stop water from running past the scupper.”
Recover wash water at up to 30 gpm and keep it out of the drain.
The Kärcher Mississippi Recovery (1.103-516.0) collects wastewater from pressure washing and transfers it to a holding tank at up to 30 gpm. A 3-stage vacuum motor delivers 100 cfm and 100 in of sealed lift through the included 50 ft, 2 in high-temperature vacuum hose and scupper head. The system is rated for water up to 120°F and works with surface cleaners and hot water machines.
The 27-gallon recovery tank is high-density polyethylene with UV protection, and an optional caster wheel kit adds site mobility. The unit runs on 120 V, 15 A or a 3,500 W generator, with a 15 ft power cord and simple curbside controls. A bolt-on base mounts it to a trailer, a high water shutdown protects the unit, and a bulkhead fitting can be plumbed to an auxiliary tank for larger volumes.
