Does your business deal with the agricultural industry? If not, perhaps you should consider the impact that clean safe water can have on a farm operation of any size and type. From increased product shelf-life, to decreased vet expenses and improved profitability, clean water can add significantly to the bottom line of just about any agricultural operation.

Farm operators are always open to new technologies and ideas that will improve the profitability of their operations and / or improve the health of their herds. Vegetable farms are successfully improving and extending the shelf life of their products by washing the crops in clean, treated water to reduce surface contamination. The industry also views food safety as a prime directive and reducing surface bacteria on produce is seen as a major advancement in general food safety protocols.

Livestock farmers have long known that healthy animals are a result of good farm practice and healthy feed. Largely overlooked is the fact that healthy water as part of the food chain can have a large impact on the health of the animals. It will come as no surprise that good tasting, clean water is preferred by animals of all breeds, and water uptake is generally improved when the water supply is free of foul taste, odour and pathogens.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that dairy cattle will produce more milk and require less veterinarian intervention when the animals are watered with high quality, clean bacteria-free water.
