Aqua Parks and Aquariums
Seals and penguins in the UK and Europe are happier since Microtech/Aligator stepped in to help.
Merlin Entertainments Group, owners of international aquarium brand SEA LIFE™, were looking to reduce the growth of algae in their water tanks. The water in the tanks was opaque, sometimes resulting in less than 1 metre of viewable water.
Together with Bi-Water Leisure, Microtech/Aligator installed mechanical filtration and two Bacteriological Control Units at the SEA LIFE Weymouth site in the UK. The units inject low levels of copper and silver ions into the water that inhibit algae and bacteria growth. The result was a clear, safe pool for the seals without the use of chemicals – much better for the seals and the environment.
We have continued to work with Merlin Entertainments on other sites, including SEA LIFE Scarborough (UK), SEA LIFE Blankenberge (Belgium), the Seal Sanctuary Gweek Cornwall (UK) and the new Penguin enclosure at London Zoo.
