Take Control with Innovative TRUE-VUE 2  

by Chipper New, Chemical Sales Manager / Howco Inc.

Those of us serving the car wash industry get inspired by the continual equipment and chemical innovations and improvements that make car washing a better process for both the operator and wash customers. TRUE-VUE 2, a compact chemical management system that constantly monitors and maximizes your chemical operations, is a notable example of advancement in both those areas. 

TRUE-VUE 2 is a management tool that allows car wash operators to see their chemical usage, supply, and cost in real time, allowing monitoring from any web-connected device. The system uses high-quality analytics hardware and sonar sensors to deliver accurate and reliable readings.  

This tool can be shared with employees as well as distributors such as Howco. It will also notify the designated supervisors when the chemical application needs to be adjusted for more or less product. This is a great tool that helps us better serve our customers, as we can be proactive in meeting their needs. 

Also notably, the TRUE-VUE 2.5-gallon product containers, made of durable but recyclable plastic, are smaller and lighter than other options, so they’re easier to handle -- no heavy drums to deal with. This also saves on shipping costs.  

Howco offers the TRUE-VUE 2 Standard Model, which comes with 10- and 20-gallon reservoirs, choice of rack system, stingers, and installation; and the TRUE-VUE Deluxe Model, which also includes sensors, monitoring hardware, cables, and set-up and training on the portal.  

The TRUE-VUE 10- and 20-gallon reservoirs feature: 

• Visible volume-scale markings. 

• Snap-and-seal lids to help prevent contamination. 

• Drop-and-go chemical refilling process. 

• Color-coding system for ease of use. 

• High-quality, durable HDPE plastics. 

• A compact space-saving system. 

• Optional chemical monitoring hardware and software. 

The TRUE-VUE system uses the power of hyper-concentrated chemicals to maximize the number of cars each 2.5-gallon container can clean. These products are designed to wash more cars; just one of these containers can clean up to 2,300 cars while reducing time spent refilling reservoirs. Safety seals on the containers allow for safe and easy chemical reloading, and the compact containers stack easily, helping organize and maximize your back-room space.

• Average usage per car. 

• Average cost per car.
