At J&F Water Treatment, we pride ourselves on working closely with trusted partners to deliver tailored, high-performance water treatment systems across a wide range of sectors. One recent project saw us collaborate with a valued installer to supply and commission a full water treatment setup for a busy vegetable nursery, ensuring clean, reliable, and efficient water for irrigation and onsite operations.
The Challenge
The vegetable nursery required a comprehensive water treatment system to address multiple water quality concerns, including:
- Hardness and iron content
- Low pH levels
- Microbiological safety
- High-performance water demands for processing and irrigation
Our team specified and supplied a complete solution designed to ensure consistent water quality, protect sensitive equipment, and support crop health.
The Solution: Equipment Supplied by J&F
We provided a full water treatment package designed for reliability, performance, and ease of ongoing maintenance:
AG+ Filtration (21/62 vessel with WS1.25 valve head)
This unit removes suspended solids and oxidized iron and manganese, forming the first stage of mechanical filtration.
Ecomix Filtration System (21/62 vessel with WS1.25 valve head)
Using Ecomix media, this system targets iron, manganese, ammonium, and hardness, delivering consistent water quality from variable borehole or surface water sources – ideal for agricultural applications.
Pre-RO UV Disinfection: Luminor LBH5-403 System
Installed to reduce microbiological risk and protect downstream filtration and RO membranes.
MO3 Reverse Osmosis Unit with Permeate Flush Assembly
A robust commercial RO unit designed to meet the nursery’s high water volume needs. The permeate flush helps maintain membrane integrity and longevity, reducing maintenance intervals.
3 x ELP8040 (8” x 40”) RO Membranes
High-capacity membranes designed for superior salt rejection and reliable output for large-scale agricultural water use.
pH Correction System (16/65 vessel with In/Out head)
Raises pH to ensure water remains non-corrosive and optimised for both RO performance and plant health.
Post-Storage UV System: Luminor LBH5-403
Installed after the water storage tank to provide a final disinfection barrier before water use, ensuring safe delivery to points of use.
The Outcome
This system now delivers consistently high-quality water that meets the nursery’s requirements for irrigation, washing, and general site use. By combining mechanical filtration, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, UV disinfection, and pH correction, the solution ensures optimum water quality at every stage.
The nursery benefits from:
- Reduced scale and iron issues in pipework and equipment
- Improved plant health and crop quality
- Lower maintenance costs thanks to pre-treatment protection of the RO system
- Peace of mind with dual UV disinfection stages
