Ver-Tech Vault

Recommended

Replaces 30–55 gallon drums with a sealed, wall-mounted storage and dispensing unit that feeds directly into your metering pumps or injectors. Fewer drum changes, less chemical handling, a cleaner equipment room — and easy level monitoring that simplifies refills and reduces downtime.

  • Safe, no-touch handling — 1-gallon containers in a secure system
  • Lower shipping costs — more product per pallet and per order
  • Maximize water efficiency — reclaim-compatible product line
  • Streamlined performance — tailored to fit your wash
Conventional chemical drums in an equipment room

Conventional System

Traditional 30–55 gallon drums connected through pickup tubes or pumps. Simple, widely available and compatible with most injection and metering equipment — the standard setup at many washes.

Drums need regular level checks — running one dry can put air in the system and disrupt chemical flow — plus periodic replacement, manual handling and proper storage to prevent spills, leaks or contamination.

How to clean a large vehicle

For best results, Ver-Tech recommends a two-step touchless process.

  1. 01
    Low pH first
    Apply an acid detergent (STR500 or CIT110) from the bottom of the vehicle to the top with a foam applicator.
  2. 02
    High pH over top
    Apply an alkaline detergent (HEL100) over the acid, again from bottom to top.
  3. 03
    Short dwell
    Let it work for 30–45 seconds. Don't let chemical dry on the surface.
  4. 04
    Rinse thoroughly
    Use warm soft water (90–100°F) at high pressure, top to bottom. Repeat on heavily soiled areas.

Tip: work front to back in vertical sections 8–10 ft wide.
