Pressure Washers


It's time to start thinking economically and environmentally friendly about how you use your wash water, and how much is wasted. The reality of how much water you use to wash one car will amaze and even shock you...
If you used a good pressure washer (Mi-t-m pressure washer pictured here) you can expect to use 30 to 60 gallons of water at 4 to 5 gallons per minute to wash one car. A low flow hose nozzle uses 45 to 90 gallons of water and a standard garden hose with no nozzle uses 100 + gallons of water per car! As you can see, a pressure washer makes a world of difference. Your pocketbook and your backyard will thank you for it.

Erosion Control


Erosion Control...Yes its almost that time of year again. US Hydrotech has plenty of technologies that deal directly with erosion control such as Ertec ProWattle shown in the picture here at a well known winery in Sonoma County. ProWattle provides the same benefits of a traditional straw wattle but with the added benefits of being able to pick it up, clean it off and use it again. Ertec ProWattle is not just a erosion control fence, its also has filter media built into the technology that allows maximum filtration where other traditional straw wattles fail. This will allow you to drastically lower your erosion control costs and your waste costs at the same time. Feel free to check out more of our erosion control technologies on our website:

Rainwater capture and reuse


Prepare yourself for this season of rainwater harvesting with technologies from US Hydrotech such as Aquadra rainwater harvesting tanks and Contain rainwater harvesting tanks. These tanks are an environmentally and economically efficient way to harvest plenty of gallons of water from the sky to water your plants and gardens.
Rainwater harvesting tanks are not just a great way to reduce your water bill and dependency on city water or a well but they also provide a great sound barrier. The tanks are modular, which means that they can be installed in line with each other to create a fence that will reduce traffic sounds for example. Feel free to learn more about this great technology by visiting out website or sending us an email!

Goff's Curtain Walls


Hello all,
We just finished installing Curtain Walls at a major food manufacture here in Sonoma County. Curtain walls are great for separating different processes within a larger area to avoid cross-contamination. Curtain walls are durable too, they can be used to separate processes such as painting and welding, for example. Feel free to visit our website or send us an email for more information on this wonderful technology that helps save the environment, and your wallet.
