1. A water restoration system comprising:
at least one influent conduit having a first end opposite a second end, the first end configured to be disposed within a water basin, the second end in fluidic communication with a filtration chamber;
at least one influent pump fluidically coupled to the at least one influent conduit, the at least one influent pump configured to remove an amount of water from the water basin and into the at least one influent conduit; and
the filtration chamber comprising:
a reaction chamber having a top surface opposite a bottom surface and at least one sidewall joining the top surface and the bottom surface, such that the top surface, the bottom surface, and the at least one sidewall together define an interior compartment;
an amount of a filtration media disposed within the interior compartment of the reaction chamber; and
a mixing and aeration chamber having a bottom surface that is disposed below the top surface of the reaction chamber and at least one sidewall joined to the bottom surface of the mixing and aeration chamber to define an interior compartment therein;
wherein the influent conduit is configured to introduce at least a portion of the removed amount of water into the reaction chamber,
wherein the reaction chamber is configured to introduce the filtration media to the removed amount of water,
wherein a portion of the filtration media and a portion of the removed amount of water are configured to be ejected from the reaction chamber;
wherein the filtration chamber is configured to convert the removed amount of water into treated water within the mixing and aeration chamber via aeration from oxygen particles within air surrounding the reaction chamber and via mixing of the filtration media into the amount of water; and
wherein the treated water is configured to be reintroduced into the water basin to continuously treat untreated water within the water basin.
