Notice Title
Pool & Rain Water Recovery System
Notice Description
Cambridge City Council (CCC) want to install (not maintain) Pwlltech's pool water recovery system, and other components necessary to support their installation, at Parkside, Abbey and King's Hedges pools. At Parkside, the supplier will also provide rainwater harvesting which would be filtered and then routed through the pool water recovery system in place of mains water to reduce the mains water used. This is for the Water Scarcity Project driven by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), who are providing grant funding for the whole project value. This installation will save up to 90% of the pool water normally discarded to drain and save the energy used to heat replacement mains water.
Procurement Information
There is no known equivalent pool water recovery system on the market and Sterling Hydrotech have a contract for supply from the manufacturer.
