Pumping costs at water park cut by 40%

摘要

The UK's largest indoor water park is saving ￡ 13,000 per annum, an improvement of 40%, on the running costs of its water circulation pumps following the installation of four variable speed drives. Four 15kW pumps are used by the Sandcastle Water Park in Blackpool to pump 418 m~3 of water an hour to circulate water through the pool. Tony McNichol, maintenance engineer at the park told us: "The pool is a deck level pool in which water runs over the edge into a balance tank to make up water lost from the system. From the balance tank it is heated and treated in a sanitizer and then pumped back to the pool."
