Siemens Water Technologies signs 10-year contract with Walt Disney World Resort

03 March 2010

Siemens will provide sanitising technology, monitoring and onsite services for the pools, fountains and theme parks at Walt Disney World’s 165 recreation sites in Lake Buena Vista, Florida

The agreement, which was signed in January, incorporates more than 50 OSEC electro-chlorination systems. This Siemens technology uses salt and electricity to generate hypochlorite on site by eliminating the need to handle or transport chemicals such as chlorine.
 

The Strantrol Impact controllers and automation units for the disinfection process allows Siemens to remotely monitor the recreation areas to ensure high quality water at all times. Siemens technicians will continuously service and manage the water on the Walt Disney World property. Recreation water from these systems will be used at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels and at the Epcot, Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme parks.
