Caloundra Gardens is an independent retirement village on the Sunshine Coast, home to extensive facilities including a natural grass bowling green, croquet lawns, wide open spaces, community BBQ areas and a resort-style pool. These shared spaces are connected by kilometres of concrete roads and paths.
The Challenge
Over time, mould and dirt deposits built up across these surfaces, creating slip hazards when wet. For residents, visitors and staff moving between facilities, safety and access were at risk. The owner needed a solution that was fast, efficient and caused minimal disruption to daily village life.
A SPITWATER Solutions Specialist conducted a site assessment at Caloundra Gardens. The walkthrough highlighted long stretches of concrete roads, narrow connecting paths between facilities, and the need for uninterrupted water supply to manage high-flow cleaning.
The assessment confirmed that mobility, reach and consistent performance were essential to complete the job quickly and safely with minimal disruption to residents.
The Solution
SPITWATER recommended the portable HP2430AE petrol-powered pressure cleaner, delivering high flow and serious cleaning power.
- The SPITWATER Model HP2430AE, a heavy-duty, industrial-grade high-pressure cold water cleaner, engineered for rigorous cleaning applications in demanding environments.
- 40m Hose & Reel: Reach long stretches of roadway without moving the machine, keeping the process neat and efficient.
- 22” Pavement Cleaner: Delivers wide, consistent coverage across concrete roads, cutting cleaning time significantly.
- 200L Water Tank: Installed to guarantee a reliable supply, overcoming the high-water requirement of 30 LPM and allowing uninterrupted operation.
This tailored system gave the operator both reach and performance, ensuring large areas could be cleaned quickly and safely.
The Results
By implementing the tailored SPITWATER system, Caloundra Gardens saw immediate improvements in both efficiency and safety. The new setup not only reduced time and labour but also kept residents and visitors moving safely around the village while enhancing overall presentation.
