Picture this: It\u2019s a 90-degree day and you\u2019ve got amazing seats for a Minnesota Twins game. If you\u2019re going to have any hopes of maintaining your Twins-fan spirit in the noon sun, staying hydrated is a must.<\/p>\n

Just in time for National Drinking Water Week May 5 \u2013 11, we\u2019re excited to unveil our new\u00a0Pentair Water Filtration Stations<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0at Target Field.\u00a0 Now baseball fans can bring their own reusable water bottles to fill up and stay hydrated, while also helping reduce plastic bottle waste at the stadium\u2014considered the \u201cGreenest Ballpark in America.\u201d<\/p>\n

Check in and win<\/strong><\/p>\n

These aren\u2019t your average water fountains. Pentair Water Filtration Stations provide the same crisp, great-tasting, filtered water you\u2019d expect from our industry-leading products. But that\u2019s not all. When you check in at Target Field using the MLB Ballpark app, you could win a Pentair water bottle to use at the game and on the go. Save money, reduce plastic waste, and stay hydrated while enjoying The Great American Pastime.<\/p>\n

How about conserving water too?<\/strong><\/p>\n

With this initiative, we\u2019re making a big dent in reducing plastic waste\u2014last year our residential filtration solutions helped eliminate the need for over 9 billion water bottles! But that\u2019s only one piece of our partnership with our hometown team.<\/p>\n

Since 2009 we have collaborated with the Twins to help make Target Field the first LEED-certified professional sports venue in North America. Meeting the high LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards meant reducing their reliance on municipal water.<\/p>\n

We collaborated with the team on\u00a0Target Field\u2019s Rain Water Recycle System<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(RWRS), which captures, conserves, and reuses rain water to keep the playing field green and the stadium seats clean. Pentair\u2019s RWRS has been a tremendous success, cutting the ballpark\u2019s municipal water usage in half and contributing to\u00a0Target Field achieving LEED Gold recertification<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for Existing Building: Operations & Maintenance in 2019.<\/p>\n

Starting this year, Pentair\u2019s RWRS also irrigates Target Field\u2019s new \u201cliving wall\u201d in center field. The living wall is 2,280 square feet and filled with 5,700 sea-green juniper plants. The junipers create a backdrop of lush greenery and provide both beauty and a\u00a0world-class hitter\u2019s backdrop<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s one more way Pentair is moving and improving water to make life more enjoyable at Target Field and beyond.<\/p>\n

Pentair is the official smart, sustainable water provider of the Minnesota Twins. Whether you\u2019re at home, work, or play, our comprehensive water solutions help you enjoy life\u2019s essential resource.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
