Build the equipment brief around the exhibit
Discuss life support system (LSS) equipment for aquatic animal exhibits with Pureflow Bio. Coordinate water treatment, circulation and equipment access around the species, exhibit arrangement and animal-care team’s operating requirements.
Discuss your projectPrepare your enquiryPlan your system
Aquatic animal exhibits can have different water conditions, waste loads and operating needs. The zoo’s animal-care and veterinary teams should define the required conditions, which then form the basis for the treatment process and equipment selection.
Treatment equipment selection
Review mechanical filters, biofilters, circulation equipment and any specified disinfection stages as a complete treatment train. Confirm equipment materials and duty against the proposed water conditions.
Exhibit and plant-room coordination
Discuss display and holding volumes, isolation requirements, pipework interfaces and service access. Keep animal-care operations and routine maintenance needs visible in the layout review.
Commissioning and ongoing care
Agree operating limits, monitoring, cleaning procedures and commissioning responsibilities with the project team. Equipment performance and any contingency arrangement must be assessed for the specific exhibit.
What to include in your project enquiry
Send the following details to help Pureflow Bio review the requirement and define a quotation.
- Animal species and animal-care team’s water requirements
- Exhibit, holding and isolation-water volumes
- Expected loading, proposed flow and existing equipment
- Site drawings, utilities, service access and project scope
Drawings, equipment ratings, materials, controls, supply limits, installation responsibilities and the project schedule are confirmed in the agreed quotation. No fixed system capacity or project price is implied by this overview.

Frequently asked questions
What is life support equipment for zoo exhibits?
It is the filtration, circulation and water treatment that keeps exhibit water clean for aquatic animals such as fish, otters, turtles, penguins or crocodilians. It typically includes mechanical filters, biofilters, UV or ozone and pumps, sized to the animals and pool.
How is LSS different for mammals and birds compared with fish?
Mammals and birds produce much more waste and often larger solids, and pools see heavy surface use. Filtration needs higher capacity for solids, and fecal bacteria must be controlled to keep water safe for animals and keepers.
How often should exhibit water be turned over?
It depends on the species, stocking and pool volume. Heavily used mammal pools need faster turnover than fish displays. We set the turnover rate with your animal care team during design.
Can existing zoo pools be upgraded?
Yes. Many older exhibits rely on frequent draining and refilling. Adding proper filtration and treatment cuts water use, keeps pools clearer and reduces keeper workload.
What information do you need?
Exhibit drawings or photos, pool volumes, the species and numbers, current water source and treatment, and the space available for a plant room.
