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.
