Technology for the elimination of disinfection by-products enabling recycling of washing waters from sand filters in swimming pools

The project aims at research and development in the field of recycling technologies for washing water from sand filters in swimming pools with an emphasis on the issue of the possible accumulation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs), which can represent a potential health risk. A filter based on an innovative sorption material (surface-modified carbon nanotubes) will be developed, which will effectively eliminate the monitored DBPs. The filter will be designed as part of the washing water recycling technology. The output from the technology will be usable as dilution water, i.e. it will meet the indicators for drinking water according to Decree No. 252/2004 Coll. and at the same time it will effectively eliminate selected DBPs. The technology will be semi-operationally verified in the real operation of the swimming pool.

This project is funded with state support from the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic
