Looking for a reclaim system that is compact / efficient, low cost and that works.. - I have a 7 bay self serve and would like to supplement both wash water and weep water with this reclaim water. My facility does have (3) settling tanks already burried in the floor of the equipment room.. I am open to all suggestions / product recommendations.

In my experience, it's extremely difficult to even have a working reclaim at a self-serve only location with the crap people put in the drains. Your requirements of compact/efficient/low cost make it impossible. The best reclaim systems that work have a large tank and aerator to allow stuff to break down, which means it can't be compact. They're all expensive, even the ones that are junk. The most efficient "reclaims" I've seen are the ones that just pump the gray water onto the grass and don't treat it at all, and they don't pay sewer.

Even with seven wand bays, I doubt that you use enough water to achieve benefit cost with any type of reclaim system. Debris can be kept out of system with strainer. Mitigating used oil and other dumping would require biological reclaim. Reclaim can make sense for sites with in-bay.
