Extraction systemClarke

The Wash & Rinse extraction system puts down soapy water, scrubs the carpet with its cylindrical brush and then rinses the carpet with clean water. By using clean water at the end of the process, more dirt is removed because the system rinses out both soap and dirt. The result is a lower re-soil rate for carpet, reduced cleaning costs and extended carpet life.

Self-cleaning showerheads: Campus experiences reduced water usage and maintenance
Sloan Valve Company

Water savings and reduced maintenance were reported at Indiana State University, Terre Haute, after Act-O-Matic self-cleaning showerheads were installed throughout the campus.

The showerheads incorporated 2.5 gpm flow control, which meets federal and state water-conservation requirements, and a disc that discharges waterborne particles for greater spray efficiency and less maintenance. The Acto-O-Matic fits into a standard ½-inch I.P.S. inlet and features a universal ball joint and thumbscrew volume control to ensure increased water economy and user satisfaction. The showerhead is available in four finishes, in both Standard and Institutional models.

“The chrome-plated, all-brass showerhead virtually takes care of itself, especially in our hard-water system,” says Jim Eslanger, the university's senior mechanical engineer.
