Sphagnum Moss Information
This summer the City of Saint Paul and Creative Water Solutions, LLC. introduced a new commercial filtration technique using Sphagnum Moss in addition to the chlorine based filtration system already in use. The initial results have been amazing. The pools all have better water quality and clarity as well as a reduction in chlorine use and cost. This makes for a more natural swimming experience as the Sphagnum Moss treated water is better on your skin, hair, swim suit and best of all your eyes. Frequent swimmers have noted their eyes do not burn anymore when they swim. Come experience our 'great water' at the Great River Water Park to find out what everyone is talking about. Below are links to the recent media coverage on this topic.
