AMPAC USA Delivers High Purity RO/DI System for Disneyland Anaheim

Ampac USA just landed a contract to design and build a Fully Automated High Purity Reverse Osmosis System for The Disney Land Theme Park in Anaheim, California, USA. This RO/DI system will feed the misting systems on the park’s new rides.

Why High Purity Water Matters for Theme Park Misting Systems

Misting systems in outdoor theme parks face unique water quality problems. Regular tap water has dissolved minerals, mostly calcium and magnesium carbonates. These leave white scale deposits on ride equipment, vehicles, guest seats, and other structures when the water dries. In busy places like Disney parks, visible scale doesn’t just look bad, it creates a lot of extra cleaning work. That just doesn’t fit with the top-notch experience these parks promise their guests.

High purity reverse osmosis / deionization (RO/DI) systems solve this. They remove dissolved solids down to less than 10 parts per million (ppm) total dissolved solids (TDS). Compare that to typical city water, which usually has 200–500 ppm TDS. Water treated this way evaporates cleanly, leaving no mineral residue on surfaces. For misting on outdoor rides, this also means nozzle tips stay clear and the misting works perfectly, without needing constant cleaning or early replacements.

AMPAC USA’s High Purity RO/DI System Design for Commercial Applications

The system we engineered for Disneyland is a fully automated high purity reverse osmosis combined with deionization (RO/DI) setup. This two-stage process first removes most dissolved solids and contaminants through the RO membrane, usually cutting TDS by 95–99%. Then, it further polishes the water with mixed-bed deionization resin to get the purest water possible for sensitive uses.

Full automation is a key feature for large commercial setups. Our automated RO systems use programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that handle everything: system startup, membrane flushing cycles, flow rate checks, and alarm conditions. No one has to manually intervene. For a theme park open every day of the year, with tens of thousands of visitors daily, keeping water quality consistent while needing minimal staff oversight is crucial for both operations and safety.

Our commercial high purity RO/DI systems come with important features like stainless steel pressure vessels and frames, which resist corrosion outdoors. They have multi-stage pre-filtration to protect the membranes, real-time TDS monitoring with automatic shutdown triggers, and a modular design that makes maintenance easy, even in tight spaces.

Commercial Water Treatment for Entertainment, Hospitality, and Recreation Venues

The Disneyland project really shows the wide range of commercial water treatment applications AMPAC USA handles. Theme parks, water parks, hotels, resorts, and sports venues all need similar things from their water systems: high reliability, consistent water quality, minimal downtime for maintenance, and compliance with health and safety rules for water that people come into contact with.

We’ve supplied water treatment systems to commercial and industrial clients all over North America and internationally. Our engineering team works directly with facility managers, mechanical engineers, and general contractors during the design phase. This makes sure the system’s size, placement, and how it connects with existing water pipes are perfect for the job.

Whether you need high purity water for misting, cooling towers, food and beverage operations, lab use, or rinsing equipment, AMPAC USA can design and build a system to your exact needs. Our commercial RO systems range from small 500 GPD units to huge multi-membrane arrays that make tens of thousands of gallons per day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of water purification system did AMPAC USA provide for Disneyland Anaheim?
AMPAC USA designed and fabricated a fully automated High Purity Reverse Osmosis combined with Deionization (RO/DI) system for Disneyland. This advanced two-stage system ensures ultra-pure water delivery for critical applications like the theme park’s new ride misting systems.

Why is high purity water essential for misting systems at theme parks like Disneyland?
High purity water prevents mineral scale deposits, primarily from calcium and magnesium carbonates, which are common in municipal tap water. This eliminates white residue on rides and infrastructure, reduces maintenance burdens, and ensures consistent misting performance without clogged nozzles, preserving the premium guest experience.

What level of water purity does AMPAC USA’s RO/DI system achieve for commercial applications?
AMPAC USA’s High Purity RO/DI systems are engineered to produce water with less than 10 parts per million (ppm) total dissolved solids (TDS). This significantly surpasses typical municipal water, which ranges from 200-500 ppm TDS, ensuring water evaporates cleanly without leaving mineral residue.

How does AMPAC USA’s RO/DI system purify water to such high standards?
The system employs a two-stage treatment process. First, reverse osmosis (RO) membranes remove the bulk of dissolved solids, achieving 95-99% TDS reduction. Subsequently, mixed-bed deionization (DI) resin polishes the water further, removing remaining ions to produce ultra-pure water suitable for sensitive commercial applications.

Beyond theme parks, what other industries benefit from AMPAC USA’s high purity water systems?
With over 30 years of experience, AMPAC USA delivers high purity water solutions to diverse sectors globally. Our systems are trusted in demanding environments such as offshore oil rigs, military bases, luxury resorts, municipalities, and food & beverage plants across more than 150 countries.
