A small chicken farm in the Waikato district of New Zealand has benefited from the installation of the Agriflow water conditioning system.

Fisher Farm experienced problems with drinking water drip feeders becoming blocked with limescale and therefore jamming up. 
This resulted in constant dripping, and the use of flocculants to reduce Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels. In addition, algae and bacteria in drinking water are a problem when rearing chickens, as they are linked to potentially fatal leg infections of the flock.

 
The owner investigated the possible solutions to the problem, and opted for Hydropath’s ‘A’ range, which is specifically designed for agricultural use and drinking water applications to eliminate limescale, bacteria and algae problems in commercial poultry houses.

The A45 unit was easily fitted to the incoming bore at the chicken farm, supplying water to a large Magnum filter. 
The farm owner was impressed with the results, as immediately the new units eliminated calcium build up, and reduced scale in the drip feeder system.  A noticeable improvement was noted in the stainless steel sinks in the preparation areas, which would previously be stained with calcium deposits.  Following the installation of Agriflow, they are now stain free.
