Sand filters have been used in commercial swimming pools for over 100 years, but how has this technology evolved over time and are we really using sand filtration to its full potential? This presentation examines filtration practices and the opportunities available to pool operators to significantly enhance the efficiency of their whole water treatment system, whilst reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Topics include:
What is good water quality
The damaging effects and energy impact of poor water quality
Types of pool pollution and how best to deal with them
Comparison of UK and European filtration design standards & practices
Filters – necessary design features to optimise efficiency
Benefits of optimised filtration
Impact on energy & carbon emissions
Other opportunities for efficiency gains
Filter media properties, selection & maintenance.
