"LiqTech has more than 120 swimming pool water filtration system installations across Europe and Asia Pacific. Today's announcement of having obtained NSF certification opens up a huge opportunity for us in the U.S. market," commented Fei Chen, CEO of LiqTech. "Over the past few years, the swimming pool industry has undergone significant technological upgrades with a focus on being more sustainable and with a high degree of digital connectivity. LiqTech's swimming pool solutions are significantly superior in terms of energy efficiency, water usage and chemical consumption. Further, our solutions are fully automated with remoted monitoring and data gathering. We look forward to expanding our pool system solutions to benefit U.S. swimming pool operators and users."
Compared to traditional media filtration systems that are widely used in commercial swimming pools, LiqTech's swimming pool system solution has demonstrated a convincing value proposition according to its customers. LiqTech's swimming pool systems ensure excellent and safe water quality and contribute to a significant reduction in carbon footprint with up to an 80% reduction in water spending, 60% lower energy consumption, and 30% lower chlorine dosing. At the same time, the system is only one-third the size of conventional media filtration system providing for perfect retrofitting without extensive changes necessary to building construction.
The Aqua Solution® is a LiqTech ceramic filter solution for liquids with suspended solids. LiqTech's Aqua Solution® integrates a dead-end structural design with cutting-edge membrane technology that is specifically designed for water pre-treatment in reverse osmosis applications, wastewater treatment, and swimming pool and spa water filtration. The dead-end design yields more cost-efficient filtration performance compared to other filtration options. As a comparison, for the same treated water flow, traditional sand filters have pore sizes three times larger than LiqTech's SiC membranes. Moreover, LiqTech's Aqua Solution® reduces the number of membrane elements, pressure vessels, water consumption for backwash, and energy costs by providing high flow rates at very low pressure.
