PURE WATER,

ZERO CHEMICALS.

AQUATICS CHALLENGES Aquatics venue owners experience a common problem: managing operating costs. Whether your property includes a water park, surf park, a lazy river, spa facilities, or a natatorium, revenue often struggles to outpace overhead.

In response, aquatics venues may try to improve their margins by increasing fees, reducing their hours, pausing construction plans, and cutting programming. These measures undoubtedly provide some cost savings. But they don’t help grow revenue.

Growth in the aquatics industry comes from rethinking water treatment.

WATER TREATMENT DRAWBACKS Most water treatment systems need expensive consumables like chemical supplies and filter media.

The cost of chemical disinfectants has been rising drastically. For example, the US market price of chlorine increased 50% from 2022-2024. Filter media also represent a significant operating cost. They must be replaced or cleaned on a weekly basis. This requires several hours of downtime.

With traditional water treatment systems, you don’t just pay for consumables.

You pay for maintenance and downtime as well.

Traditional aquatic venue treatments often lead to hidden expenses and complexities.

• High energy usage from chemical-based and membrane systems • Maintenance burdens from filters and frequent chemical dosing • Health risks from disinfection chemicals that irritate skin and eyes • Operational inefficiencies from filters clog and require regular replacement Despite new membranes and regenerative media, filtration hasn’t fundamentally changed in thousands of years. Chlorination was invented when doctors still treated patients with mercury.

And while UV-C and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) represent progress, their high energy consumption reduces their ROI. Worse, numerous pathogens and toxic compounds are resistant to these purification methods, posing revenue-impacting liabilities.

Many of these solutions entail fixed operating costs and inefficiencies that drain your budget.

As a result, it becomes harder to grow revenue and provide excellent guest experiences.

SOLUTION DETAILS

CONTINUOUS PURIFICATION

VVater Aquatics represents a breakthrough in water purification. It enables aquatics venue owners to modernize their facilities, achieve their sustainability goals, and reduce operating costs.

Waterborne contaminants harm revenue. Sudden outbreaks usually lead to temporary shutdowns and potentially negative PR. Yet most water treatment methods have blind spots when it comes to waterborne contaminants.

• Cost-savings: Less energy and no consumables means less overhead.

• Sustainability: Shrink environmental footprint and conserve resources.

• Modernization: VVater builds and replaces aging aquatics infrastructure.

At the heart of the solution is VVater’s Farady Reactor, which uses small amounts of electricity to purify water to the highest standard. The Farady Reactor destroys microorganisms, alters mineral content, and eliminates volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like pesticides and pharmaceutical residue. Inside the Farady Reactor, a revolutionary purification process takes place. This is the Advanced Low Tension Electroporation Process, or A.L.T.E.P.™ Thanks to VVater’s innovative contract model, and the Farady Reactor’s energy-efficient engineering, it provides a more efficient cost per gallon in terms of both CapEx and OpEx. The Farady Reactor also delivers one of the shortest hydraulic retention times (HRT) on the market, at < 8 minutes. This means it takes less than 8 minutes for water to be treated and released by the system.

Compared to competing solutions like reverse osmosis, AOPs, or regenerative media filters, VVater Aquatics customers can potentially realize substantial savings.

• 18% less CapEx per Gallon • 40% less OpEx per Gallon • 73% less hydraulic retention time • 90% less energy consumption

BUILD NEW OR BOLT-ON The aquatics industry comprises a diverse range of verticals and venues, each with its own special requirements. A major advantage of VVater Aquatics is its modularity, allowing us to customize it to each customer.

VVater Aquatics can be delivered in a number of ways: • Build new: VVater builds new treatment systems for new developments.

• Replace in-place: VVater upgrades your venue’s water treatment system.

• Bolt-on: VVater integrates new solutions with your venue’s existing system.

For example, chlorine has limited effectiveness against cryptosporidium and giardia; UV-C often fails to kill legionella and adenoviruses; and regenerative media filters are powerless against pesticides and pharmaceutical residues.

VVater Aquatics enables you to fill in those gaps in effectiveness. VVater’s innovative technology destroys more pollutants than any other treatment solution. This is because our solution uses a fundamentally different approach to purification. Rather than adding chemicals or filtering the water, VVater Aquatics applies electricity to the molecular structure of compounds within the water.

With a VVater Aquatics solution, venues gain the ability to produce water that continually purifies itself.

As it purifies water, the Farady Reactor produces hydroxyl radicals. These are electrically charged molecules formed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Hydroxyl radicals circulate through the water and destroy bather-load contaminants.

As a result, VVater Aquatics customers are able to offer their guests pristine, chemical-free experiences without the risk of revenue-impacting outbreaks.

SURF PARKS VVater Surf is a next-generation water treatment solution for the surf park industry. VVater Surf helps venue owners grow their margins by controlling water-related operating costs.

Consumables represent fixed operating costs for surf parks. For an average surf park, chemicals might account for upwards of USD $50,000 in yearly overhead, and filter media must be replaced or cleaned for several hours every week. Water usage is another fixed cost.

A 7-million-gallon surf pool might use around 24 million gallons per year, depending on its design. Waterborne disease outbreaks can also impact revenue via temporary shutdowns and unfavorable media attention.

VVater Surf represents a comprehensive approach to these challenges. VVater Surf ends your reliance on consumables, conserves water resources, and prevents waterborne illnesses.

VVater Surf purifies water without a single chemical, biological, membrane, or filter, greatly reducing operating costs. Surf park owners can also use VVater’s solution to recycle wastewater and create their own sustainable water source that fortifies their parks against future scarcity. VVater’s Farady Reactor enables you to purify feedstock water of any quality, from reclaimed greywater and blackwater to brackish water. This gives surf parks more options for where they source their water.

WATER PARKS As water parks face the challenges of aging infrastructure and increasing operational costs, it’s crucial to adopt solutions that drive sustainability and efficiency. Rising water and energy rates, coupled with stricter health regulations, demand a proactive approach to water management.

VVater Aquatics eliminates the need for costly chemical supplies. It drastically reduces energy consumption as well. Enhanced sustainability provides venue operators with a way to slash operating costs.
