Wouldn’t it be great to keep your cameras and windshield clean 100% of the time without the worry of running out of windshield washer fluid? With Brimtech, you can!
During the summer of 2008, the Brimtech Self-Filling Windshield Washer System was born! Brimtech’s founders were on the road and ran out of washer fluid in the middle of a thick cloud of bugs. They discussed how great it would be to have a washer reservoir that could keep itself topped off full. The two started working on their idea the next day. It took many years of Research and development and dozens of prototypes to get it perfect.
In August 2008, our goal then was just to collect water from the air conditioner and transfer it into the washer reservoir. As we played with different prototypes, we discovered that there are a number of factors that we needed to take into consideration, such as unwanted pump startup due to the fluid sloshing around inside of the washer reservoir. How to add and how much detergent and antifreeze agents to add under different driving conditions. How far ahead of the freeze does it need to produce fluid for? Where are the best collection points located at around the vehicle for optimal water collection from rain and snow? Raw water heating and heater selections, communications, easy maintenance, etc.
2009 – Brimtech, LLC was started and filed its 1st patent application for its automatic self-filling fluid system, which was granted by the U.S. Patent Office in 2014.
2013 – Brimtech introduced the world’s first fully automated +32F Self-Filling Windshield Washer System and also began development of the fully autonomous all-weather system.
2014 – Brimtech filed patent applications for its connected autonomous fluid production system that tracks weather to produce custom cleaning fluids for specific climates that the vehicle drives in.
2019 – Brimtech was grant patents in the U.S and Europe for the Brimtech autonomous fluid production system.
