This North Yorkshire farm had been dealing with high levels of iron and manganese in their borehole water for some time. Although they had installed a borehole filtration system years ago, the farm continued to face challenges. The existing system was only partially effective, leaving behind residual iron that caused ongoing problems.
The presence of iron and manganese wasn’t just a minor inconvenience—it was directly impacting the farm’s operations. From damage to equipment and pipes to issues with the livestock’s water supply, the situation was becoming more problematic.
To resolve these issues, we implemented a full water treatment solution. This included upgrading the filtration system and installing a new 5000L water storage tank. The new tank allows the farm to store filtered borehole water, ensuring a steady supply. It also provides the option to switch back to mains water if needed. This flexibility is especially important for farms that regularly maintain their borehole systems. Now, the farm can rest assured that their livestock will always have clean water, even during maintenance or if there are unexpected issues with the borehole.
Given the high iron levels in the raw water and the volume being drawn from the borehole, we recommended adding a clean water backwash facility. This ensures that when the system undergoes a backwash cycle, it uses clean water from the tank, rather than contaminated water from the borehole. This improvement helps maintain system efficiency and minimizes further contamination, ensuring optimal water quality.
With the upgraded filtration system, clean water backwash, and new storage tank, the farm now has a reliable water supply. The filters are working at full capacity, providing enough water for daily activities. Most importantly, the farm’s livestock always have access to safe, clean water.
Existing Systems
At Prosep Filter Services, we actively take on various water treatment systems installed by other companies. We welcome new customers and look forward to collaborating with them.
Water Testing
We begin every water treatment design with a thorough and accurate water analysis. The engineers at Prosep Filter Services use a UKAS Accredited Laboratory for this process. They have completed formal training and are certified to conduct water sampling to UKAS accredited standards.
