The Commercial Water Problem
Commercial pools operate under intense demand: high bather loads, strict health codes, and constant pressure to maintain clear, stable water. Backwashing is essential — but it’s also one of the largest hidden operating expenses in the industry.
A single commercial backwash can waste:
— 500–2,000 gallons per cycle
— Significant chemical loss
— Heat energy from warmed pool water
— Valuable labor time correcting chemistry
— Uptime during busy facility hours
Across a year, most commercial facilities lose:
— 60,000–200,000 gallons of treated water
— 10–20% of their annual chemical budget
— Dozens of labor hours spent refilling, rebalancing, and retesting
— Energy costs from reheating replacement water
This is all money already spent — and then wasted down the drain.
For many facilities, backwash waste alone costs more per year than the price of installing an e3 recycling system.
The Return on Investment
Commercial operators choose the e3 recycling system for one defining reason: ROI. Most facilities see measurable savings immediately:— Up to 99% less refill water needed— 10–20% reduction in annual chemical use— Less energy wasted reheating replacement water— More stable chemistry after cleaning cycles— Shorter downtime and faster post-maintenance recovery— Reduced strain on pumps, filters, and heaters— Lower labor hours spent correcting swings or refilling. These savings commonly deliver a 24 month payback, with some high-usage facilities seeing ROI even sooner. The e3 recycling system isn’t just environmentally responsible —it becomes one of the most cost-effective upgrades in commercial pool operation.
A Simple, Effective Solution
The e3 recycling system captures the water normally lost during a backwash, clarifies it, and returns it safely back to the pool. Nothing drains into landscaping, storm drains, or equipment rooms. Everything stays where it should: contained and controlled. Commercial operators benefit from:— More consistent chemistry— Less chemical drift— Cleaner filter beds— Faster recovery after backwashing— Reduced strain on pumps and heaters— Predictable weekly operating costs. The e3 recycling system integrates easily into existing equipment pads and begins reducing waste immediately.
Reduced Labor, Downtime, and Headaches
Traditional backwashing disrupts operations:— Long refill periods— Chemistry swings— Cloudy-water recovery time— Extra testing and rebalancing— Staff tied up during critical hoursWith the e3 recycling system:— Backwash water is captured instead of lost— Pools return to normal levels much faster— Chemistry remains more stable— Staff spend far less time correcting issuesThis means smoother operations, fewer interruptions, and quicker recovery after maintenance.
Built for High-Demand Environments
The e3 recycling system is engineered for commercial capacity and high turnover.Ideal for:— Hotels & resorts— HOAs— Fitness clubs— Apartment complexes— Waterparks— Municipal pools— Schools & universities— Rehab & therapy pools— Aquatic centersIt is NSF/ANSI/CAN 50 certified and designed for reliable long-term performance.
