The water is recycled and used again many times, the tank on the far right is the dirty water from the washer and it is pumped then through three filters and into one or both of the other two tanks to be used over again. Using the Quick N Ezy washing machine for cleaning tents, marquees, tarps, yacht sails uses less water than by hand and you are not walking on it. Tanks from the left to right are wash and wax, rinse, recycle.
