LiqTech International, Inc. announced it has entered a new agreement for the distribution of LiqTech's Aqua Solution swimming pool water filtration systems covering the Middle East. The agreement helps to expand LiqTech's fast-growing swimming pool systems market in this key geographic market. LiqTech has partnered with UK and Dubai-based Barr + Wray to distribute the Aqua Solution to Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Compared to traditional media filtration systems that are widely used in commercial swimming pools, LiqTech's pool system solution has demonstrated a convincing value proposition according to customers. LiqTech pool system ensures excellent and safe water quality and contributes to a significant reduction in carbon footprint with up to an 80% reduction in water spending, 60% lower energy consumption, and 30% lower chlorine dosing. At the same time, the system size is only one-third the size compared of a conventional media filtration system and is therefore perfect for retrofitting without extensive changes to building constructions being necessary.

The Aqua Solution is a LiqTech ceramic filter solution for liquids with suspended solids. LiqTech's Aqua Solution integrates a dead-end structural design with cutting-edge membrane technology that is specifically designed for water pre-treatment in reverse osmosis applications, wastewater treatment, and swimming pool and spa water filtration. The dead-end design yields more cost-efficient filtration performance compared to other filtration options.

As a comparison, for the same treated water flow, traditional sand filters have pore sizes three times larger than LiqTech's SiC membranes. Moreover, LiqTech's Aqua SolutionTM reduces the number of membrane elements, pressure vessels, water consumption for backwash, and energy costs by providing high flow rates at very low pressure.
