Why Use Pond Water?
Many farmers have a very valuable asset on the farm that they take for granted and completely ignore. The common farm pond contains that wonderful treasure —WATER! When we team this with Drip Irrigation, it’s the perfect complement for a great growing season! Sand Filters are important for any drip irrigation systems using pond, stream or lake water. The sand is used to clean the dirty water and make it suitable for drip systems. Drip tubings are easily clogged when using dirty water, so use the proper filtration!
Sand Filters are an extremely valuable tool to any grower with access to surface water (pond, river, stream etc.). Growers should recognize that pond water is a valuable asset that should be protected from contamination from livestock or silt filling in.
What are Media Filters?
Sand filters, in conjunction with drip irrigation, allow the farmer to provide his crop with regular waterings which are proven to have higher yields than crops depending on rain. This is also a fairly inexpensive way to irrigate.   The filters are simple and have very few moving parts. I have found they work well for many years without requiring any maintenance other than replacing the media every other year.
We carry two different types of Media Sand Filters, the Stainless-Steel Fresno Filters and Fiberglass Triton Filters. Both are excellent and we have been selling them for almost 40 years. Stainless Steel Filters are necessary for larger growers and higher pressures.
We have a 2 acre kit that includes the smaller fiberglass Triton filters, pump, mainline, drip tape, fittings, etc that will get a new grower up and running quickly. Let us help you take the guesswork out of what to order! Give our sales team a call or email your design and specs to us today for advice and/or an estimate.  You may also wish to visit us here at Berry Hill Irrigation.
