Why Filter Cloths Aren’t Enough for Concrete Washouts (And How Envirochute Systems Inc. Solves It)

Many concrete washout products rely on filter cloths to trap larger debris, but that doesn’t address the high-pH wash water left behind. This wastewater can be just as harmful as the solids—polluting storm drains, seeping into groundwater, and threatening marine ecosystems.

At Envirochute Systems Inc., we’ve designed a solution that goes beyond filter cloths. Envirochute is an all-in-one washout system that manages every byproduct of concrete washouts, protecting your jobsite, the environment, and your bottom line.

1. Complete Washout Management

Filter cloths may catch chunks, but high-pH water still escapes. Envirochute contains both solids and harmful wastewater, offering total protection for worksites across Canada and North America.

2. Protecting Water Sources and Ecosystems

Concrete wash water has a pH of 12–13, making it extremely corrosive. Envirochute ensures this water never reaches storm drains, rivers, or oceans—helping safeguard fish, vegetation, and community water supplies.

3. Meet and Exceed Environmental Regulations

Across Canada and the U.S., regulations on concrete washouts are strict and only getting tougher. Envirochute’s closed-loop design keeps your operation compliant, preventing fines while showcasing your commitment to environmental responsibility.

4. Reusable Wash Water for Cost Savings

With Envirochute, captured wash water can be measured and reused in future mixes. This maintains consistent water-cement ratios, reduces waste, and cuts operating costs—all while lowering your environmental footprint.

5. Cleaner Jobsites, Greater Efficiency

Unlike filter cloth systems that clog and require constant upkeep, Envirochute offers a portable, durable, and low-maintenance design. Crews save time, reduce mess, and move easily between sites.

6. Designed for Drivers and Operators

We know time matters on site. Envirochute was engineered with driver safety and ease of use in mind—reducing downtime and simplifying every washout.

The Envirochute Advantage

A filter cloth can only do so much. Envirochute Systems Inc. delivers a comprehensive washout solution that manages everything from solids to corrosive wastewater. The result? Cleaner jobsites, safer waterways, and guaranteed compliance.
