As a family-owned business now in our second generation of ownership, we bring more than four decades of water treatment expertise to every agricultural project we undertake. Our team includes licensed plumbers and certified water quality professionals who understand the unique challenges facing Vermont agriculture.
As an authorized, independent Kinetico dealer for over 30 years, we understand that agricultural water treatment requires specialized knowledge of high-volume systems, seasonal demands, and the unique water quality challenges that Vermont's geology presents.
Vermont's agricultural heritage runs deep, and at Clear Water Filtration, we're proud to support the farmers and agricultural producers who make our state special. From the rolling dairy farms of Chittenden County to the diverse agricultural operations in Washington County and beyond, we provide water treatment solutions that address the specific challenges facing Vermont agriculture.
Our agricultural water treatment services encompass every aspect of farm water management:
Protect Your Equipment
Vermont's groundwater often contains elevated levels of iron, manganese, calcium, and magnesium—minerals that can wreak havoc on agricultural operations. Hard water creates scale buildup in irrigation lines, reduces the efficiency of watering systems, and can affect the health of livestock and the quality of crops.
Hard water affects agricultural operations in ways that directly impact your bottom line:
Every agricultural operation has unique water requirements based on its size, water source, and specific applications. Our complimentary on-site evaluations help identify the treatment solutions that will provide the greatest benefit for your operation.
Safe Water for Agricultural Applications
Safe, pathogen-free water is non-negotiable for agricultural operations. Whether you're providing drinking water for livestock, washing produce, or processing food products, water disinfection protects your animals, your products, and your customers.
Ultraviolet disinfection has become the gold standard for agricultural water treatment because it eliminates bacteria, viruses, and parasites without adding chemicals to your water supply. This is particularly important for organic operations and farms that supply direct-to-consumer products.
We install and service Viqua UV systems ranging from small point-of-use units to high-capacity commercial systems capable of treating tens of thousands of gallons per day. UV treatment is effective against:
For operations requiring residual disinfection throughout a distribution system, we install and maintain Stenner chemical injection pumps that provide precise, reliable dosing. Common applications include chlorination for bacterial control and pH adjustment for corrosion control.
Our licensed team ensures chemical injection systems are properly calibrated and maintained, with safety features that protect your operation and the environment. Applications include:
Many Vermont agricultural operations rely on private wells that may be vulnerable to bacterial contamination, particularly during spring runoff or after heavy rainfall. We recommend regular testing and often suggest combination treatment approaches.
Our relationship with Vermont's water quality regulations and agricultural best practices means we can help you maintain compliance while protecting your operation's water supply:
Reliable Water Management
Agricultural water demands fluctuate dramatically with seasons, weather, and operational needs. A dairy farm's water usage during summer heat differs substantially from winter requirements. Irrigation demands can spike during dry periods.
Adequate water storage ensures your operation never runs short during peak demand or supply interruptions. We design and install storage systems from small pressure tanks to large agricultural reservoirs.
Constant pressure systems maintain steady water pressure regardless of demand fluctuations. This is particularly important for irrigation systems, milking operations, and food processing applications.
Water pumps are the heart of any agricultural water system. We work with submersible well pumps, booster pumps, transfer pumps, and irrigation pumps designed for high-volume seasonal operation.
We understand that water supply failures can have serious consequences for agricultural operations. Our system designs often incorporate backup pumps and generator connections.
Precise water delivery is essential for modern agricultural operations. We design flow control systems that regulate pressure and zone irrigation areas for optimal water distribution.
Our maintenance programs help prevent pump failures during critical operational periods. Regular inspection, testing, and preventive maintenance extend pump life and identify potential issues early.
Comprehensive Solutions
Beyond hard mineral removal and disinfection, Vermont agricultural operations often face additional water quality challenges that require comprehensive treatment approaches.
Vermont's groundwater frequently contains elevated iron and manganese levels that stain equipment, clog irrigation systems, and affect livestock acceptance of water. We address these common contaminants with:
Surface water sources and some wells deliver water with sediment that must be removed before use. Our filtration solutions range from simple cartridge filters for light sediment to automatic backwashing systems for heavy particulate loads.
Vermont's water sources vary widely in pH, with some areas experiencing acidic water that corrodes pipes, damages equipment, and affects livestock health. Our neutralizing systems and chemical injection solutions bring water to optimal pH ranges for agricultural applications.
Certain areas of Vermont have naturally occurring arsenic and uranium in groundwater. While these contaminants are more commonly addressed for human consumption, some agricultural applications—particularly those involving food processing or produce washing—require treatment.
The presence of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in some Vermont water supplies has raised concerns for agricultural operations. Our experience with government contracts for PFAS/PFOA treatment means we stay current on the latest treatment technologies and regulatory developments.
