AaquaTools - Water-Driven Cleaning Products and Solutions for the Wine and Food Processing Industries.
Since 1985 AaquaTools Inc. has been a manufacturer and distributor of quality, high impingement, water-driven products and solutions. These include high pressure washers, rotatory jet-heads, steam generators, spot-free rinse systems, and flat surface cleaners. Most of our devices are water-driven and low flow, yet are high pressure enough to offer an efficient high impingement cleaning that actually saves water. We have featured the KEW line of high pressure washers for over 20 years not just because of their ability to produce flows high enough to drive our tools, but also because of their unparalleled track record of performance and reliability.
AaquaTools has grown over the years to be the wine and food industries largest single supplier of water-driven high impingement cleaning solutions. We also serve the transportation, industrial, and solid waste industries, and welcome any industry that could benefit from our over 20 years of expertise. Our success is due to our commitment not to compromise on quality and performance, and our vision to develop water-driven tools to fill your sanitation needs.

Introducing...
Compact Tankless Hot Water Generator High Pressure Washer
|
||
|
Indoors, outdoors you name it—hot water anywhere! Just provide the water and we’ll heat it up to 185°F with flows up to 13 gallons per minute. With our pressure washer option, you can enjoy hot water and high pressure up to 2750 psi with flows up to 5.5 gpm. The Cube was developed by AaquaTools to replace traditional hot high pressure washers that rely upon water heated through a coil that in turn makes the wash water non-potable and leaving particulates in the wash fluid. Because the Cube uses on-board tank-less water heaters to generate hot water, the finished product is exactly the same as the source water, only heated. The Cube’s digital touch pad allows the operator to set a precise temperature, +/- only 1 or 2 degrees. The tank-less water heaters are fired by clean burning, high quality propane or natural gas, providing more efficiency, increased reliability and makes it extremely user-friendly. No smelly diesel fumes or burner issues related to diesel, kerosene or less than high quality fuel. • Two on-demand gas water heaters • High pressure pump • Low emissions • Digital control touch pad • Quick-Connect compatible • Unit can be wall-mounted or stationary |

Special Features
Constant Temperature Control.
The Digital temperature control system allows for precise control of the water temperature.
Energy Efficient.
Using advanced technology allows for 80-85% efficiency in our product. AaquaTools tank-less gas water heaters provide an endless supply of hot water while heating only the demand that is needed. This performance cuts water heating costs up to 50%.
Low Emissions.
Because of the high efficiency of our tank-less heaters, the NOx emissions are minimized. In addition, because the water heaters only heat water on demand (less “on-time”) they emit less CO than other water heaters.

 HotCart | Compact Tankless Hot High Pressure WasherIndoors, outdoors, you name it. The AaquaTools HotCart will give you hot water anywhere! Just provide the water and we’ll heat it up to 185°F with flows up to 13.2 gallons per minute. With our pressure washer option, you can enjoy hot water and high pressure up to 2750 psi with flows up to 5.5 gpm. By combining the KEW POSEIDON 7-67 and state of the art “on demand” tankless water heater technology”, AaquaTools has developed possibly the most powerful, energy efficient and cleanest burning portable hot high pressure washer available today. Assembled on a robust, stainless steel cart with locking casters and a 50′ hose reel, the HotCart. The choice of the North American Wine industry since its introduction in 2004. Ideal for indoor and outdoor cleaning. Often used in caves when adequate air circulation is present. |
 AaquaSteam | AaquaSteam Portable High Pressure Steam Sanitation/Sterilization SystemSterilizing is a vital step in eliminating the bottling line of unwanted organisms & bacteria. AaquaTools AaquaSteam sterilization system is an efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly solution. It will reduce your energy and water usage and can reach a higher temperature than water, 212 degrees vs. water 180, and delivers that heat rapidly through condensation. Our electric steam generators make for an ideal steam cleaning system. They are small and require no venting. High pressure, dry steam is discharged directly into a steam hose and wand for a quick, efficient operation. The saturated steam from our generators can be controlled as to pressure, which will vary the temperature and BTU transfer of the steam. We offer a variety of models from 1.5 to 500 kW to match any steam application. The AaquaSteam’s pump maintains solid water pressure at 60-80 psi, and includes an automatic on/off solenoid valve to control water flow. Although most of the machine is automatically controlled there are still plenty of manual safety precautions, including a safety valve pressure release, safety valve for the level indicator, water cut off valve, pressure gauge and it’s isolation valve, as well as the steam blow-off valve. |

Sanitation is Rule No. 1
Thanks to the growing number of wine, beer and spirits facilities opening across North America, the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium is attracting a considerable number of new owners looking for the latest designs in production equipment. While I also tour the exhibit floors looking for “the new,” prior to the 2017 show I promised readers I would also walk the Unified floor looking for the time-tested, must-have equipment for any facility.
It was natural then to visit with Robert Astle and Steve Buchan, owners of AaquaTools, Inc., from Rancho Cordova, California. Included in their long list of quality cleaning equipment is their high-pressure/high-temperature washer, the self-contained and portable HotCart. Regardless of your thoughts about “new process” equipment, you will always have a need for sanitation.
The AaquaTools HotCart washer has always incorporated three of my basic “E”s: Effectiveness, Ease of Use and Ease of Maintenance.
Effectiveness
Buchan is considered the “design and idea” man at AaquaTools and Astle is the engineer/mechanic who assembles products to bring to market. 
There are two things that immediately catch your attention. First is their choice of dual tankless, on-demand heat exchangers from Noritz America Corporation, which replace smelly, diesel-powered, steel tank-reservoir designs. Instead, Noritz exchangers use commercial grade, copper-alloy only. The exchangers have been around for a long time, and the HotCart uses the Model 1991 commercial units. Working together in parallel, they provide increased efficiency by stabilizing temperature fluctuations and boosting the flow rate.
The compact designs are 85 percent energy efficient and use propane as fuel, capable of producing 185° F water or 380,000 BTUs in mere seconds. Concurrently, there are two 40-pound (9-gallon) propane cylinders on board the HotCart, exactly like you would see on an RV. These exchangers come with full American National Standards Institute certification. They have a built-in, digital touch-pad for easy and precise temperature control within (+/-) 2 degrees. Included are flame sensors, along with overheat and freeze protection—the latter is for those of you who live in the snow. Direct electronic ignition means no pilot light waste. They are both encased in durable stainless steel.
The next thing you see is an 8.8 horsepower on-board, high-pressure pump with a flow rate of 5.5 gallons per minute up to 2,750 psi. This is a serious amount of pressure but can easily be throttled down at either the wand handle or a dial on the pump housing.
The pump is from Nilfisk/KEW, which is another long-time industry standard with wide representation throughout the United States. What is unique is these pumps contain special seals in their construction, which allow for both high temperature and pressure to pass through the same pump simultaneously.

The AaquaTools HotCart by AaquaTools was developed for the food and wine industries to replace traditional hot high pressure washers that rely upon water heated thru a coil that in turn makes the wash water non-potable and leaving particulates in the wash fluid. Because the HotCart uses onboard tankless water heaters to generate hot water, the finished product is exactly the same as the source water only heated. The HotCart’s digital touch pad allows the operator to set a precise temperature +/- only 1 or 2 degrees. The tankless water heaters are fired by clean burning, high quality propane creating significant reliability, increased portability and an extremely user-friendly environment.

Curbside Cart/Toter Cleaning System
When attached to an optimally matched high pressure washer, CartClean from AaquaTools is designed to clean the interior surface of trash containers. The cleaning efficiency is achieved thanks to stream jets at a low flow rate but high pressure, thus providing high impact washing. Stream nozzles rotate around a turret to provide complete orbital cleaning coverage of all interior tank surfaces. It is possible to use different chemical cleaning solutions; in this case we recommend that you contact our technical staff for specific information. By incorporating our stainless steel platform, Cart’s can be cleaned quickly and safely for just pennies per wash.
" I love your “HotCart”, and it has made my life so much easier. From barrel cleaning, to general cleanup around the tasting room and processing center. The team at AaquaTools has been great at answering my questions on service and operations. Love it and don’t know how I operated without it. Thank you for such a great product. " - Steven Gaiser - Owner and Winemaker, Distant Cellars - Fiddletown, Ca.

" We used many competitor products for years at our winery, and since we’ve started using and incorporating AaquaTools products we couldn’t be happier. The products which we have many now, work as they are stated to work and do so reliably for us. We are not gentle on equipment at the winery and find that they are built with than in mind. We also find that when we do have issues or repairs the response time is great and the equipment gets back up and running quickly. We are extremely happy with using AaquaTools as a supplier. " - Bruce Devlin, Ballentine Vineyards - St Helena, CA

" We have been customers of AaquaTools for over 10 years. The HotCart that we own, our second, is an indispensable tool for our small winery, giving us continuous hot water for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, tanks, barrels and floors. It is used daily along with a barrel blaster, we own two, one for tanks and one for barrels. When needed we have received responsive advice and service. " - Terry Brandborg, Brandborg Vineyard & Winery - Elkton, Oregon

" We have been working with AaquaTools since 2008. We are a small winery and therefore a low dollar client. Nonetheless, we have consistently received high dollar service and sales attention from this company. In 2008 we purchased a new Poseidon hot pressure washer which we used to hot pressure wash our barrels, floors and tanks for the last 12 seasons. This machine finally suffered serious mechanical failure after that time which probably amounted to <12000 barrel washing cycles or 1000 hours of service under load. Buying a new Poseidon to replace our old machine was an easy decision to make. AaquaTools shipped the machine quickly and provided excellent technical support after the purchase. " - Aaron Lieberman, Iris Vineyards - Eugene, Oregon
|
" The 30 kW steamer that we use from Aaquatools is an awesome machine. I have researched/used various steamers and been told by other suppliers you cannot reach 200+ degrees using two steaming wands (for wine barrels). This is not the case with the 30 kW Reimers Steamer provided by Aaquatools. Moving to a new company in which I inherited this steamer, I rented wands that read temperature within the barrel to test the machine. It easily reached 200+ degrees inside the barrel within 4.5-5 minutes. The prior product I used could not do so using even a single wand. I highly recommend this steamer for wineries looking to steam barrels both efficiently and correctly. " - Lucas Martens, De Loach Vineyards - Santa Rosa, CA
|
" We really went back and forth regarding our decision to purchase the AaquaTools Hot Cart. Buying the Hot Cart was the best decision we made. It already has paid for itself in 2 weeks. The combo of power and heat generated has been invaluable in our startup winery. I honestly cannot envision running a winery without one. " - Thomas Nye, Blind Horse Winery - Kohler, WI
|
" We've been using the AaquaBlaster for a couple of years now and it's been just the ticket for our small winery operation. It's fast and easy to hook up to our KEW and delivers enough blasting power out of the four heads to REALLY clean barrels. Not "wash" them but CLEAN them! The flashlight doesn't lie.... I can't imagine NOT using it as a regular part of our barrel program. " - Squire Fridell, GlenLyon Vineyards & Winery - Glen Ellen, Ca
|
" At Chateau Potelle, we have been using Aaquablaster for about 1 year to clean our barrels. We have been very happy with the performance and reliability of the Aaquablaster. It is a sturdy barrel washer and the most important for us is that it does a very good and consistent cleaning of our barrels. " - Yannick Rousseau, Associate Winemaker, Chateau Potelle - Napa, Ca
|
" Our HotCart3 has been flawless since we purchased it. I\'m especially impressed with the efficiency of the tankless water heater, also how quiet it is when we utilize the hot water generator without the pressure washer. One suggestion; the piping coming down out of the water heater could use a bracket for support. My fear is that while moving the HotCart if the water supply hose were pulled on, it could potentially cause damage up into the tankless water heater itself. " - David Baker, Hook and Ladder Winery - Santa Rosa, Ca
|
" The AaquaBlaster we purchased from AaquaTools works great. We use it on all our barrels, tanks and kegs. I no longer have to crawl into tanks for cleaning. I just hook up the AaquaBlaster to our KEW 5003V and set the temperature to 185° and walk away. " - Michael Roser, Winemaker, Cooper Vineyards - Plymouth, Ca
|
" We have been using the Aaquatool pressure washer with the ICS Blst-N-Vac barrel washer for about a year and a half. The high temperature and pressure water combines with rotating spray jets keeps our barrels tartrate free for more effective cleaning and sanitizing with ozone or SO2. The vacuum empties 99% of the liquid from the barrel for easier handling and less mess. We have washer over 2000 barrels and the unit has been mostly maintenance free during this time. The few replacement parts we needed were available within a couple of days. I recommend this unit for those who want truly clean barrels. " - Pete Hedges, Winemaker, Hedges Family Estate Winery
|
" Outstanding customer service. It gives us confidence knowing that we are killing bacteria with our HotCart and AaquaBlaster. Our work environment is cleaner. Clean up is quicker. " - Clyde Vaughn, Owner, Stony Ridge Vineyard, Livermore, Ca
|
" I purchased and did my best to destroy an Aaquatool 360 (or prior incarnations) at Abacela Winery in Oregon and again at Agate Ridge Vineyard, also in Oregon. Despite my best efforts those units are still going strong. I have no doubt Aaquatool is the premier device for this application. Thanks. " - B. Kiley Evans, Winemaker, Agate Ridge Vineyard
