In the last 5 years, Regenerative Media Filtration has become increasingly popular for aquatic facilities of all types. The benefits of finer particle removal and turbidity control are coupled with numerous environmental advantages including water conservation and wastewater reduction. In addition, the operating premise of the system saves chemicals, energy and fuel along with significant savings in filter room space. Recent developments in the features, functions and benefits of regenerative media filtration have kept the technology moving forward. Today’s systems provide superior protection against waterborne diseases and are very user friendly. The session will address the design and operational considerations as well as the water quality documentation. Barry Gertz is a second-generation President of Neptune-Benson, Inc., Coventry, RI. Neptune-Benson, Inc. was started in 1956. It is a professional engineering corporation specializing in the design and manufacture of aquatic filtration systems and recirculation components. He is an engineering graduate from the University of Rhode Island and has 30 years of experience in the aquatics industry. He is actively involved with several of the industry’s professional organizations, for which he has presented many seminars and training sessions on filtration and recirculation systems. Recently inducted into the World Waterpark Hall of Fame, Gertz is currently serving on an important NSF committee to examine alternative filtration media to enhance filter performance.
