As livestock producers in the USA grow in size, so do the water demands. \u00a0It is not always possible, and certainly not cost effective to bring municipal\u00a0or rural water supplies to the farm, therefore drilling wells to supply water for on-site livestock is the best, and many times only option. \u00a0However, if your water supply is less than ideal, this causes potential issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can help. \u00a0Ozone is used by many municipalities around the USA <\/a>to treat drinking water. \u00a0As the technology improves we can now bring this same quality of water to your livestock operation cost effectively. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Drinking Water Disinfection<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Ozone and H2O2 can be used to disinfect drinking water on your\u00a0farm.\u00a0 Both well water<\/a> and rural water can benefit from water disinfection.\u00a0 By reducing bacteria in water cows will be healthier and water will taste better.\u00a0 Drinkers will grow less bacteria, algae, and require less cleaning. \u00a0Livestock will drink more water when treated with ozone or H2O2.<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Well Water<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Well water commonly requires treatment to remove minerals or pathogens<\/a>, even perfect well water may have no bacteria in it when pumped from the ground.\u00a0 However, without any added disinfection this water can grow bacteria in it as soon as it is flowing through your pipeline and in your tanks.\u00a0 This bacteria can spread illness, and make for generally unhealthy water in the drinkers.\u00a0 Bacteria can easily be oxidized by ozone or H2O2, just as it is normally oxidized by chlorine in municipal water supplies.\u00a0 However, using ozone or H2O2, dissolved oxygen levels in the water will increase and create healthier water without the added chloride contamination.<\/span><\/p>\n
