Quote
"I had two executive producers looking at the tank two days ago and they were completely blown away by the clarity of the water."
Project Overview
This converted screen production complex less than 30 minutes from central Auckland was hosting the cast and crew of a co-produced China-Hollywood blockbuster movie called ‘The Meg’ in 2014. The underwater action-adventure film from Warner Bros was partly filmed in an underwater dive tank holding 1.267 million litres of water. Traditional chlorine treatment was affecting water clarity while impacting the health and comfort of actors and crew.
Hydroxypure was employed in the underwater dive tank. This unique sanitising system creates crystal-clear water with maximum temperature of 33C.

Crystal-clear water optimising lighting options and image definition

What the client said
“I had two executive producers looking at the tank two days ago and they were completely blown away by the clarity of the water. We haven’t emptied the tank since it was filled. A chemist tests the water every week and it has remained clean and healthy with the Hydroxypure treatment system. We haven’t had any instances at all where the water has triggered any concerns from a health and safety perspective. We are now on the radar of major international studios that are looking for facilities with water tanks. Thanks to the size of the underwater tank and quality of water, we now have the ability to compete with film and television projects from all over the world. Hydroxypure gives us that ultra-clear, pristine water.”
