ACPool Recycling of backwash water from sand filters
Recycling of backwash water from sand filters in a swimming pool
We guarantee to recover 80% of the water and save you energy as well.
You can save up to 200 CZK per m³ of water on your water and energy bills.
You will obtain dilution water for pool refilling by treating backwash water from sand filters to drinking water quality.
You reduce organic substances and eliminate bound chlorine through catalytic decomposition.
The adsorbent is certified according to EN 12873-3.
You passively disinfect water without the use of chemicals.
Worry-free adsorbent – it can be regenerated without removal from the system and lasts for years.
You reduce the carbon footprint associated with operating a swimming pool.
WHAT IS ACPool TECHNOLOGY?
ACPool is a revolutionary Czech technology that leverages the exceptional properties of the patented adsorbent ART CARBON, which is based on modified carbon nanotubes uniquely immobilized on a carrier. This advanced material effectively removes a wide range of organic substances from water, even at very low concentrations.
THE RECYCLING OF BACKWASH WATER FROM SAND FILTERS CONSISTS OF SEVERAL INTERCONNECTED WATER TREATMENT PROCESSES:
Accumulation and sedimentation of backwash water in a tank.
Filtration with a sand bed and a sleeve filter with a filter cartridge.
Adsorption and catalytic decomposition on ART CARBON material (1. microbial barrier).
Intermediate water collection for backwashing sand filters, flow rate comparison, and chlorination.
Secondary water disinfection using a medium-pressure UV lamp (2. microbial barrier).
Desalination of water using reverse osmosis - only a portion of the treated water.
Water disinfection by dosing sodium hypochlorite (3. microbial barrier).
Note: The composition of technological units may vary depending on spatial constraints.
MORE THAN JUST WASTEWATER RECYCLING
ACPool is the only technology on the market that can truly remove disinfection by-products (DBPs) from water, thanks to the catalytic properties of the ART CARBON adsorbent. Other technologies either fail to completely remove these substances or break them down into smaller fragments, which unfortunately remain in the water.
This technology helps reduce the concentrations of undesirable substances in pool water, thereby improving its quality and ensuring better health safety.
