The drag-out reduction has as a result the reduction of the chemical components that are used in the baths where the coated object is cleaned. In this way, less water is consumed for rinsing and the volume of the produced, from sewages treatment, mud is also reduced.

Apart from the drag-out reduction the consumption of water can be reduced with the use of flow control systems, such as valves that operate with time switches. Moreover, an effective cleaning can be achieved by combining the rinsing of the objects with spraying and then immersing them in a bath for water cleaning.

The performance of the cleaning can be increased pumping air or water into the baths or using a countercurrent rinsing system. In this way not only the baths' performance in increased but also the required water for rinsing is reduced.
