What
Zeobrite® Commercial Users Have To Say |
“We
saw increased water clarity within 3 days… ..We
have backwashed the pools (3 pools) every 3 weeks instead
of every 2 -3 days. In addition, our combined chlorine
levels have stayed at 0.5 ppm or less.”
Ann Gisriel, Aquatics Director

“
The chief complaint we had (when using sand) was that
we had to backwash so frequently because of our high
bather loads. We had some systems that needed to be
backwashed three times a day. Using zeolite the job
now only needs to be performed once a day.”
Kevin Vallandingham
Water Quality Manager

"The
pool is located on a golf course, is surrounded with
trees, and had a problem with clarity. After changeover
to Zeobrite® and a week or so of operation, the
water became crystal clear. I have been able to maintain
good clarity even during the extreme heat of this summer.
The pool needed backwashing once a week with the sand
media, I only backwash once a month with your
media."

Commercial Information |
 |
| And
you thought Zeobrite®
was just for backyard
pools. |
| |
| Zeolites
were first used in the 1970's in the U.S in the filtration
of wastewater and radioactive material. In the 1980's
they were first used in pools and in the 1990's they were
starting to be used in commercial pools. |
|
| Today
the use of
Zeobrite®
natural
zeolite filtration media for potable
water systems is widespread. It is still used in filtration
of wastewater and municipal pools, but the effectiveness
and cost benefits has made it a popular choice for many
hotel and motel pools, amusement park pools as well as
large public aquariums. |
|
| Zeobrite®
ADVANTAGES |
| IMPROVED
WATER CLARITY |
Microporous
zeolite media contains a large surface area for entrapment
of suspended particles down to colloidal size.
Angularity of zeolite grains and tapered internal
pore spaces allow for removal of suspended solids
by bridging, straining, adhesion, adsorption and flocculation.
|
| IMPROVED
FLOW RATES |
Headloss
is decreased compared to silica sand due to more void
space through the media.
Depth of filtration is achieved with turbid particles
being able to load deeper into the media.
Zeobrite®
can function as a rapid-rate or slow-rate filter media.
|
| CONSERVATION
OF WATER |
Backwash
to achieve a clean bed is performed rapidly with air
sparge and 20 percent bed lift.
Once the bed is broken up with surface scour and /or
air sparge, Zeobrite®
cleans in 5 to 6 minutes with 15 to 18 gpm/ft2 water
flow.

| Costs
Savings With Zeobrite® |
| It
is estimated that for a 150,000 gallon indoor pool using
a conventional sand filter that requires backwashing weekly,
the total annual savings could exceed $4,000.
