Started over 40 years ago by Don Havens, Hydro-Spray has developed into a strong car wash equipment company, producing quality equipment while developing a loyal customer base. Don would probably be the first to admit that mistakes were made along the way, but one thing remains clear; he always strived for continual improvement and excellence in manufacturing, sales, and service. That philosophy continues today and has supported Hydro-Spray’s viability during times when others have struggled. What are the components of that philosophy? The first is a great product!

Building on the in-bay technology invented by the Bernardi Brothers and further developed by Turbo Wash®, Don Havens developed an in-bay automatic that earned the reputation of a wash system that exhibited superior cleaning ability and rugged reliability. The fact that many of these original units are still in service today is a testimony to the sound design, durability and desirable functionality of the machines. Since then, Hydro-Spray has become a leader in self-service technology producing some of the finest state-of-the-art self service equipment on the market today.

Second, Hydro-Spray recruits and develops talented marketing and technical personnel that envision the future of the automatic and self-service car wash industries by applying appropriate technology to further enhance the performance and reliability of the equipment. Their long-time association with the car wash industry and their continual learning and application of the knowledge gained, has further strengthened the ability of Hydro-Spray to remain viable during the toughest of times.

Hydro-Spray's third founding component has been a dedication to on-going innovation and development of equipment. Starting with the sound design of the Classic In-Bay Automatic known for its improved functionality and control, using new computer technology, the Rainmaker improves the overall washing experience by being able to size the vehicle in bay. We're very proud of our ability to meet all the vehicle washing demands of the motoring public.

Along with additions to the machinery’s capability, innovations such as the 'PRECI$E Control System' were introduced to enhance the owner’s ability to market their facility and exercise control remotely from home or office. Unique sales tools such as the automated 'Frequent Washer Program' and 'Birthday Club' enables the car wash operator to build repeat business while further increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty. 

Finally, Hydro-Spray personnel’s dedication to the car wash industry and its owners/operators keeps the company strong and vibrant. Throughout its history, many of the company’s leaders have been car wash operators themselves. They faced the same challenges their customers face; increased competition, weather fluctuations, changes in market and economic conditions. This gives them empathy for, and an understanding of the needs and concerns of all car wash operators. This also gives them firsthand knowledge of your company’s equipment performance, leading to many improvements for ease of operation and day-to-day maintenance.

Today, the new Hydro-Spray, under the direction of owner and President, Cliff Reed, carries on the tradition of quality and superior performance. Under his youthful and energetic leadership, along with a diligent day-to-day, hands-on management style, Hydro-Spray continues to flourish. By producing excellent equipment, recruiting talented personnel and pursuing innovation as well as remaining dedicated to the car wash industry, distributors and equipment owners, Hydro-Spray will continue to be an industry leader for many years to come.
