The use of water blasting requires that the surface has previously been blasted in the traditional way, as only water can provide a surface profile in the steel. Traces of paint or other coating filtered easily removed and the remaining water is thus completely harmless. Unlike sandblasting may be no dust or other pollutants in the air.
