Water Storage Systems
Having uninterrupted access to a source of clean water is vital for your plant health. With the exception of those plants accustomed to desert climates requiring very little hydration, every plant needs an adequate amount of water to grow.
Greenhouse irrigation systems can of course operate from your water mains, but what if your greenhouse experiences a mains failure? This in addition to government limits and restrictions on water-use during dry spells make it best practice in commercial glasshouses to employ greenhouse water storage systems to store excess water and rainwater and save on energy costs using a free resource.
As it rains more often in the UK than not, we’d recommend installing water storage tanks with water filtration systems to ensure the water is clean and free of chemicals for when you need to access these water reserves.
The more rainwater you can harvest for your commercial glasshouse crops, the more access you’ll have to free water, thus saving you some costs on water bills.
Harvesting rainwater and recycling irrigation overflow can also often help with planning permissions for your commercial greenhouse, which is another advantage in addition to the water-saving element of installing water storage systems.
There are lots of different sizes to choose from when it comes to H20 storage systems, both for indoor water storage and outdoor water storage. The water silos come with anti-algae covers to protect your water reserve from bacteria you don’t want present when returning this resource to your plants.
