FARM DAIRY WATER – WATER EXCLUSION
.
If you have been issued with a Water Exclusion sticker you will now be encouraged to improve your water to the standards required by Fonterra. We can help you with this.
.
We recommend two solutions, depending on your water quality and the amount of management you would prefer to handle during the year.
.
Homespring – will remove bacteria (ecoli.) with no maintenance during the year
Ultra Violet (UV) – will disinfect the bacteria so it can not replicate itself, which does require maintenance during the year, and how much depends on your water quality.
