Irrigating Less
with Enhanced Absorption
Nets over 5 T/ac

Case Study # 09
Spring, 2021
Treated well water Precipitates Iron
and is visible when
backflushing the
sand media filters
The backstory:
In 2020, WaterPoint replaced the Chlorine Dioxide water treatment with Flow-Tech Grow electronics and successfully reduced counts of Total Coliform and E.coli in the irrigation water pumped from the Willamette River.
In spring of 2021, before setting the river pump station, the farm's well provides irrigation. The farm manager noticed the precipitated Iron turned the backflushed water orange - said, "it's like a cream cycle" and shot this video. The dog's doing fine, btw...

One Season of RF Energized Water Accumulated Precipitated-Minerals
We had lots of questions about RF water-treatment, in the beginning. 7-seasons later, got lots of answers... so, ask away!
