Water Reuse
• Exhibit saltwater• Complex filtration and backwash
system to flocculate out solids to recover saltwater back to system
• Freshwater• Water park systems are reused in
Ski Lake system water• Park fountains employ the use of
condensate water• Recovery of splash out water

Water Recycling
• Flamingo exhibit• Water is filtered and treated, then returned to
system
• Saltwater systems• Addition of sludge pumps into backwash basins to
optimize amount of saltwater available for reuse• Recovery of splash out water
• Reverse osmosis of saltwater• Reuse salt-free water into
cooling tower system

Water Recycling
• Ice plant blow down water• Reject “hard” water extracted from
production and recovered to holding tank• Water pumped to cooling tower system• Reduction of make-up water to cooling
tower• Reduction of sanitary sewer• Reduction of energy consumption at
cooling tower
