ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses a process to implement and maintain water bodies larger than 15,000 m3for recreational use, which comprises the following steps:a.—providing a structure able to contain a large water body larger than 15,000 m3;b.—feeding the structure of step (a) with inlet water;c.—measuring water pH;d.—adding an oxidizing agent to the water contained in the structure of step (a),e.—adding a flocculating agent in concentrations within 0.02 and 1 ppm with maximal frequencies of 6 days and cleaning the bottom of the structure of step (a) with a suction device to remove precipitated impurities from the bottom of said structure, and;f.—generating a displacement of surface water containing impurities and surface oils by means of the injection of inlet water according to step (b), which generates said displacement in such a way to remove said surface water arranged in the structure of step (a), which together with step (e) replaces traditional filtering.
