Following a series of on-screen prompts, visitors must repair a
virtual exhibit to save whale sharks, manta rays and hundreds of
fish. Participants build the proper filtration system to achieve
optimal water quality levels. Visitors will learn how sand
filtration is safe for the animals and provides a level of water
quality closest to their natural habitat.
Xylem’s Neptune Benson sand filters used in the exhibits provide
critical filtration to remove particulates from the water,
establish a healthy balance of bacteria and create a safe habitat
for more than 40 species. Water is continuously recirculated
through the sand filters in each of the exhibits, allowing Georgia
Aquarium to reduce its overall water consumption and reuse the
majority of the 11 million gallons of water found in the
facility.
“We seek to educate and engage our visitors using various
experiences that foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of
the animals in our care,” said Hiroshi Okuda, Senior Director of
Strategic Marketing & Corporate Partnerships at Georgia
Aquarium. “Our relationship with Xylem and the Clean Water
Challenge game enables us to teach our patrons about how clean,
sustainable water is an essential part of our animal care.”
Georgia Aquarium is a nonprofit scientific institution that
provides industry-leading aquatic research, conservation efforts,
and exceptional care of its animals. The facility conducts crucial
research by working with animals, both in the aquarium and in their
natural habitats, to develop new standards of care and veterinary
practices.
“The Clean Water Challenge game provides a fun, interactive way
to inform visitors about the direct impact water quality and
filtration have on aquatic life in an aquarium environment,” said
Scott Holzborn, Vice President and General Manager of the
Disinfection and Aquatics Division at Xylem. “The water filtration
ecosystem is central to the animals’ well-being and we are excited
to team up with Georgia Aquarium to help educate people about
reducing the impact on water the world’s most valuable
resource.”
Visitors can play the Clean Water Challenge game and check out
Georgia Aquarium year round.
