AAQUATOOLS WATER-DRIVE PRODUCT AND SOLUTIONS FOR THE WINE AND FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES
Since 1985 AaquaTools Incorporated has been a manufacturer and distributor of high quality water-driven products and solutions and hot and cold high pressure washers to a select group of industries. Our success can be attributed by our ability to find a water cleaning need and fill it with a tool that we manufacturer ourselves or distribute for others.
The majority of our devices are water-driven with a low flow rate yet high pressure which creates high impingement cleaning and saves water. We have featured the KEW line of high pressure washers for over 20 years because of their ability to produce flow high enough to drive our tools and their unparallel track record of performance and reliability.
Though our main business relationships are with the wine, food processing, automotive and solid waste industry, we welcome any industry that could benefit from our over 20 years of expertise.

Container Cleaning
AaquaBlaster LT - The AaquaBlaster LT is the most popular barrel washing tool available today. Fast, reliable and thorough, the AaquaBlaster LT makes fast and easy work of all small container cleaning and is easily adapted from 4 nozzles for oak to 2 nozzles for stainless or plastic containers and/or tanks.
ToteBlaster - The ToteBlaster LT, IBC and Tote Cleaning System is an AaquaBlaster LT fitted with a splash guard and a 2 nozzle adapter. It makes the difficult task of cleaning IBC's and small tanks a breeze. Especially when driven by a AaquaTools HotCart or Nilfisk Poseidon producing 5.5 gpm.
AaquaSteam - Sterilizing is a vital step in eliminating the bottling line of unwanted organisms & bacteria. Steam sterilization is effective and environmentally-friendly since it reduces energy and water usage and can reach a higher temperature than water, 212 °F vs. water 180 °F , and delivers heat rapidly through condensation.
An affordable and efficient cleaning solution for IBC Totes. Clean up with ease using the ToteBlaster from AaquaTools. To learn more visit https://aaquatools.com/ or contact us at 916-635-2922 or sales@aaquatools.com.

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.

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 13.2 gallons per minute. With our pressure washer option, you can enjoy hot water and high pressure up to 2750 psi with a flow rate up to 5.5 gpm.
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. No smelly diesel fumes or burner issues related to diesel, kerosene or less than high quality fuel. Visit our website at www.aaquatools.com for more information or watch our YouTube video for the HotCart.
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.
" 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

" 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

" 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
|
" 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
|
" 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
|
" 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

"In 2010, I purchased a HotCart portable electric, gas fired, hot high pressure washer from AaquaTools to drive my existing container cleaning tools. What a difference from our traditional diesel fired pressure washers. By using tankless water heaters to deliver hot water to their pumps, our sanitation process has improved dramatically. I since have replaced our container cleaning heads with AaquaTools AaquaBlaster LTs, and again night and day in performance and reliability. I would recommend AaqauTools without hesitation if you're looking to improve your sanitation process in your facility."
