Water Recycling System

Don¡¯t throw water away —
keep it clear 24 hours a day

Nanobubbles and an active catalyst purify, disinfect and deodorize water from saunas, pools, food plants and fish farms so it can be reused.

70–80%Lower energy cost

01 SYSTEM

Water purification and recycling

Used water is purified by the nanobubble and catalyst system and circulated again. Organic matter breaks down, pipes stay clean and bath water stays clear.

Collect used waterUsed water gathers in the bath or recycling tank.
Remove sludge & disinfectIn the purification tank, the nanobubble and catalyst units remove sludge automatically and disinfect.
Return clean waterWater cleared of color, turbidity and bacteria is pumped back.
Keep circulatingUsed water returns to the tank and the cycle repeats.

02 TECHNOLOGY

Nanobubbles and active catalyst

Nano-micro bubbles

More dissolved oxygen than ordinary water reduces pollutants and odors. They also generate over 10 times the negative ions of a waterfall.

Active catalyst

NaOCl solution contacting a metal-oxide catalyst produces superoxide ions (O©ü⁻) and OH radicals that drive oxidation-reduction reactions in the water.

The result

Sludge and organic matter float up and are removed, keeping water clean and clear around the clock.

Metal oxides used: Na©üO ¡¤ CaO ¡¤ Al©üO©ý ¡¤ MgO ¡¤ B©üO©ý ¡¤ Li©üO ¡¤ BaO ¡¤ ZrO©ü ¡¤ TiO©ü ¡¤ ZnO ¡¤ PbO ¡¤ SrO ¡¤ Fe©üO©ý ¡¤ CeO©ü

03 BENEFITS

Clearer water, fewer water changes

Disinfection & deodorization

Kills common bacteria and Legionella and removes odors.

Scale & sludge

Detaches scale and reduces sludge.

Lower chemical cost

Less algae and fouling means less spent on cleaning chemicals.

70–80% lower fuel & water bills

Sharply cuts sauna boiler fuel and water costs.

Clean facilities

Baths, floors, walls and pipes no longer feel slimy.

Heat-exchanger protection

Removes hardened scale from heat exchangers and condensers.


Kimchi plant brine recycling — purifying and reusing salting brine cuts salt costs by 70%.
04 OPERATION

Installation and operation

ItemDetails
InstallationReplaces the existing sand filter ¡¤ hot, warm and cold baths, resort pools
OperationWater changed only once or twice a month ¡¤ 70–80% lower water and fuel bills for a typical bath
Water qualitySame quality morning and evening ¡¤ clearer than with a sand filter, passes E. coli tests
Bathing comfortNeutralizes chlorine by-products (trihalomethanes) ¡¤ catalyst water with antibacterial and deodorizing effects
MaintenanceNo consumables to replace periodically — eco-friendly and easy to maintain
Financing (Korea)Low-interest loans from the Korea Energy Agency¡¯s energy rationalization fund can reduce the installation cost
