Annual Environmental Goals
Description of Action: 
Work to educate NJ swimming pool owners that there is a better water to discharge and reuse their swimming pool water
Provide Environmentally Preferable Products Services
Description of Action: 
Our company has one product. Our product is designed to eliminate chemically treated swimming pool water from entering our wetlands and waterways. Today swimming pool owners routinely pump thousands of gallons of swimming pool water into our wetlands, storm water sewers and waterways. Most of them have little choice due to the powerful water flow coming from a 2 horse power pump and a 2" hose. The force of the water would seriously erode the pool owners landscape. So their solution is to pump it to a hard surface like a driveway. Properly balanced pool water is safe for humans. Properly balanced pool water is toxic to animals. The Eco Pool Drain waste water fountain sprays the water upward six to seven feet. The aerated water then returns to the ground over 100 square feet or more. In doing so the force of the water has been tamed and the erosion minimized. Re-purposed / recycled swimming pool waste water can be used for irrigating a lawn. Projected money saved is .48 per minute of operation by re-purposing this resource. The Eco Pool Drain Waste Water Fountain re-purposes/recycles swimming pool waste water. Swimming pools are routinely releasing waste water for various reasons. Common examples are the release of excess water after a heavy rain, lowering the pool water level so fresh water can be added. This product is designed give pool owners a better option than pumping off this waste water down their driveway and into the nearest storm water sewer. The Eco Pool Drain waste water fountain is designed to minimize erosion by spreading the water out over 100 square feet or more. Spraying the water up into the air as a spray also reduces the chlorine content. Approximately 20% of the chlorine dissipates into the air.
