Water Use
What water source can we use?
Rain water, dam water and bore water are suitable for use.
FODDERsolutions solutions can use any type of water to run the system provided it is clean or filtered. If it is necessary to treat your water, FODDERsolutions solutions can supply filters and water treatment devices.
Incredible Water Savings
Water consumption is minimal and passed through irrigation water can be used for animals.
The system uses only 0.5 gallon of water to produce 2.2 lb of green grass. Conventional growing methods require about 21 gallons of water.
This represents an incredible water saving – using as little as 1/20 of a regular farm and little impact on the water table from water use and farm chemical run-offs.
Can you reuse the water?
The system has little run-off and any excess water can be used for stock water.
