CLARIFIERS
Deposits collect inside of the clarifier dome, inside the pipes, on the rakes, and sometimes on the floors and walls. As the build-up increases, efficiency decreases.

With high volume 20,000 p.s.i. waterjets, these hardened mineral deposits are quickly eliminated without damaging underlying coatings.
