• Powering wash-water pumps, pressure washer systems, or mobile cleaning rigs when grid power isn’t available

• Supplying electricity on remote job sites (construction, field servicing, emergency response)

• Providing backup or supplemental power to lighting, tools, small motors, or EM systems tied to water treatment, recycling, or sanitation systems

• Integrating with compressor, welder, or air-blower units to form self-contained mobile equipment packages

• Always operate generators outdoors or in well-ventilated areas to avoid carbon monoxide buildup

• Use appropriate grounding and bonding practices to protect personnel and equipment

• Protect the generator from water ingress or flooding, especially when it’s part of a mobile wash or recycling system

• Use correctly rated extension cords and transfer switches if powering buildings or critical loads

• Follow local codes for fuel storage, exhaust routing, and sound mitigation

Good maintenance helps avoid downtime. Recommended practices include:

• Regular oil and filter changes according to engine manufacturer schedule

• Checking and cleaning air filters, spark plugs, and fuel filters

• Running the generator under load periodically to prevent wet stacking or fuel gumming

• Inspecting fuel lines, batteries/electrical system, and cooling airflow

• Draining fuel if storing the unit for extended periods, or using fuel stabilizer

• Verifying output voltage, frequency stability, and grounding before each use

If you’re planning a mobile water-treatment or cleaning rig, it’s wise to reach out early with a list of all your electrical loads, run times, and mobility or site-power constraints. US HydroTech can help recommend a generator model (or package) that matches your anticipated needs.
