Whether you like the savings of a powder base, or prefer a liquid product, Power Blend equals instant savings and instant product.
The S.C.U.B.A. was developed and designeddue to Industry / Operator demand. The S.C.U.B.A. system products are easy to lift, no more struggling with heavy large drums taking up valuable storage space.

Pair with POWER BLEND The Power Blender is a powerful tool in our
efforts to clean using cost effective “ Green” Technology! The customer is loaned the tank and purchases a powdered version of the appropriate foundation. The product comes in a 40 lb. box that contains 2-20 lb. bags. All you have to do is pour the powder into the Power Blender and push a button when you need a batch of products produced! Our highly concentrated product lasts longer than the competition and eliminates the need for systems that attempt to mix product as needed. That means your tank is the same strength no matter how busy your wash!

The Power Blend line is formulated for any car wash need including Self Serves, In-Bay Automatics or Tunnels. Every Power Blend product is concentrated for maximum results and worry free customer satisfaction. Our Power Blend series enables you to achieve the same results with less product. Due to our two-step Power Blend system, all you need is the Power Blend foundation + the desired surfactant and you’re set. It’s one unique, flexible system.
The Power Blend system enables you to: Adjust the amount of suds, instead of having to purchase a higher or lower sudsing product. Adjust the cleaning strength, instead of having to purchase a more concentrated product. Save on refilling, as well as storage, from the reduced footprint. It’s easy, long lasting, and economical.
Quick Tip: Many manufactures produce pre-formulated liquid products with a high concentration of water. The average self-serve car wash facility can save up to 50% on chemical costs by utilizing C K’s Power Blend Signature Series Products. Make your car wash products last longer by using Power Blend’s unique mixing system that uses every last drop of soap. Power Blend Works…Foundation + Surfactant = Power Blend.

With the installation of the Power Blend system your wash becomes your own private manufacturing plant. By utilizing your water and the Signature Series Power Blend process, your equipment can produce your own custom detergent. The increased flexibility is highlighted by your ability to increase the cleaning strength separate from the “show”. Each acid or alkaline function pulls the appropriate Power Blend acid or alkaline foundation into your existing water stream, where it mixes with the appropriate Power Blend surfactant package. Unlike the competition, we offer both acid and alkaline foundations. While the acid is only available in liquid form, Power Blend’s alkaline foundations are available in a powder form for use in the Power Blender as well as in two liquid forms. The reductions also equate to a significant packaging cost, and allows for reduced shipping costs. Those reductions also create a significant reduction in your businesses“Ecological Footprint.”

Did you know:
The terms pH and alkalinity/acidity are frequently confused. pH is a measure of the acid or alkaline strength in regard to quality rather than quantity. Alkalinity/acidity is the measure of the quantity of alkali or acid present.Two different alkalis at equal alkalinity can have vastly different pH values.
so what happens when changed?
A change in acidity or alkalinity of 1 point on the pH scale represents a tenfold change in acidity or alkalinity. Thus, an acid solution with a pH of 4.0 is 10 times as acidic as one with a pH of 5.0 and 100 times as acidic as one with a pH of 6.0. Similarly, an alkaline solution with a pH of 11.0 is 10 times as alkaline as one with a pH of 10.0.

quick tips:Did you know:
The term detergent is quite broad, referring to any agent that will remove one undesirable substance from another. In the removal of soil, a cleaner functions in various ways, involving both physical and chemical actions. These functions do not occur separately or in any particular sequence, but in a complex interrelatable manner. Each function is important and both are usually present in a cleaner to some extent. For cleaning a particular type of soil, certain functions are emphasized more than others to arrive at a balanced product.
So what are the ingredients?
The components of a detergent exhibiting the listed properties can be categorized as follows: 1. Hydroxides 2. Carbonates 3. Silicates 4. Phosphates 5. Chelates 6. Oxidants 7. Acids 8. Surfactants 9. Inhibitors
