Frequently Asked Questions

What is the expected return on investment?

In nearly every application, the payback is less than 18 months.
In many areas where conservancy is rewarded with rebates, the ROI is less than 6 months!

How much space is needed for this equipment?

Typical equipment manufactured by NuTek is wall mounted, 22″x 20″x11″ and weighs 62 pounds. Larger units are 2 cabinet installations of similar size, mounted in proximity to one another. All equipment is typically installed behind or on a wall adjacent to your washers.

Do I have to modify my washers or dryers in any way to support this equipment?

No, you do not have to replace your existing washers if they are in good operating condition and are micro programmable.
Sometimes fittings may need to be replaced to assure unobstructed flow from the cold water line but those are minor adjustments.
There are no ozone connections to your dryers.

Will I still use chemicals after installation of NuTek equipment?

Yes, chemicals will be necessary, but depending on your chemical vendor, some chemicals currently in use, may be eliminated. In nearly all instances, dosages are reduced when ozone is introduced, in some cases, by 50%.

Is Ozone safe for my employees?

Yes. The patented design and passive injection technology employed by NuTek ensures that an appropriate amount of ozone is injected on every fill. Working with ozone in the laundry is safer than cleaning your home bathroom with bleach!

Isn’t hot water needed to kill germs?

Hot Water + Harsh Chemicals = A Traditional laundry
Cold Water + Ozone = A GREEN laundry
NuTek’s Ozone Laundry Support System kills 99.99% of Staph, MRSA, C-Diff and other more commonly known bacteria and viruses in the wash cycle AND in cold water. This has been tested by an independent, accredited lab, (also used by Ecolab), in a true wash setting.

How much power does this equipment consume?

The answer varies across the different models, in a typical laundry environment the smallest system averages 6 amps, which equals what an average TV would consume, and the largest system averages 12 amps, which is equal to a microwave oven.

Are financing options available?

Yes, on a qualified basis.

Do I have to change chemical vendors?

No, you do not have to change chemical vendors, but it is helpful to engage your chemical technician at the onset of the introduction of ozone. Not all chemical technicians are familiar with our technology and we will need to work together to maximize your energy savings while assuring excellent laundry results.

Will the savings be measurable?

Yes. NuTek will provide you with a savings proposal based on your current water and utility consumption compared to what you can expect after our Ozone Laundry Support System installation. Most often, our customers see greater savings than anticipated.
