| Summary: | When the Cincinnati Zoo wanted to ensure the health of several rare species of Arctic birds in the new Wings of the World exhibit, the staff first examined the purity of the bird's water habitat. This article talks about how staff addressed special equipment concerns to maintain proper conditions such as water quality, clarity, and temperature. It was necessary to find a water purification system that, without the use of chemicals, was highly effective at destroying bacteria, molds, and algae. The solution, a three‐step system that utilizes both ozone and ultraviolet disinfection, is discussed. |
