I wish you luck finding a commercially available filtration system, suitable for high volume recirculating water like a splash pad, that will reliably remove pathogens.

A properly maintained (good luck!) DE filter might do the trick, but they’re messy enough that they’re banned in large parts of the country. Cartridge filters are usually rated at 10 microns, which is nowhere near good enough.



You don’t filter the pathogens. You filter debris and kill the pathogens with UV, chemicals, etc.

It would not be hard to make a significant improvement by just adding UV sterilization.
