More often than not, today’s aquatic facility operators face uphill battles catering to short-staffing, rising chemical costs, and health-conscious patron demands – all while under budget restraints. With resources spread thin, nimble aquatic facilities have leaned on supplemental sanitation, like Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) and medium-pressure UV, to do more with less. We will explore and answer your questions about new sanitation opportunities that take time, money, and guesswork out of today’s operational challenges. This session addresses the ways an aquatic facility’s sanitation method can help or hinder the time and money spent on staff training, chemical costs, energy use, and more. In addition, this session will review independent case study data from real aquatic facility operators who monitored performance of AOP and medium-pressure UV supplemental sanitation methods as well as cost savings, air quality, water quality, and patron experience. Attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of the future direction of supplemental sanitation in waterparks, aquatic facilities, and health codes.
