Water Treatment For Agriculture

Watson Well harnesses the power of ozone technology with other treatment methodologies when designing and building our agricultural water treatment systems for commercial farming.

Ozone is a superior oxidant and unmatched organic disinfectant providing multiple benefits all in one technology. Combined with our filtering methods, we can reduce minerals, heavy metals, while providing chemical free disinfection. Our systems significantly reduce or eliminate the amount of waste water discharge used – compared to other treatment technologies.

Water filtration, also known as water conditioning is critical to ensuring plant health. Unfiltered water can contain excessive levels of minerals, heavy metals or other organics that can contribute to poor crop performance or even excessive crop losses. Untreated water can also transmit pathogens, fungi, or mold spores that can negatively impact the plants health, yield and overall quality of the crop. Watson Well designs and installs agricultural water treatment systems that are specific to the unique issues of each farm’s water source. Vineyards, mixed greens, cannabis, cut flowers are just a few of the AG customers we work with.

We solve hard water issues using water softeners. Depending on flow rate demands, our water softener solutions may include single filter units to multiple Duplex or Triplex units all including the latest in metered valve technology which provides significant efficiencies and cost savings by automatically scheduling regeneration periods based on actual water volumes used through the filters.

Other issues can be regional and may require a combination of technologies to purify the water. During the drought of the west, we see the concentration of sodium, selenium, boron, and sulfides increasing beyond dangerous levels in well water severely impacting the health of the plants.

Indoor grows can face unique challenges when required to use condensate water which can introduce pathogens or possibly heavy metals to the plants. The use of untreated canal water can introduce pathogens to the crops. Dissolved oxygen levels can become dangerously low for plants that are watered with pond water. Pond water can be the source of pythium or fusarium contamination introduced to the plants through the watering of untreated water. Biofilm contamination is another serious issue often overlooked by farms. Biofilm can clog delivery systems and impact the running efficiencies of water pumps. Biofilm is a known host for pathogens. It also consumes valuable dissolved oxygen in the water which impacts the soils and plants.

Listed are some of the different technologies we utilize and integrate into our designs for agricultural water treatment systems. As mentioned, depending on the issue, we may use one or any combination of these technologies –

Ozone
Ion Exchange
RO’s (Membrane Filtration)
Media Filters
Chemical Treatment
Ultra Filtration (UF)
Ultra Violet (UV)
High Flow Sand Separators.

Water Treatment For cut flowers

Water Treatment For Cannabis

Our ozone systems have positive impacts with all types of farming – but especially with extremely sensitive plants like Cannabis. Whether outdoor farming, greenhouses, or hydroponic, all farms recognize the immediate benefits of using Ozone produced water. Just one of many benefits of using water made with ozone is the increased levels of dissolved oxygen (DO), which alone, will create an aerobic environment for the plants resulting in the control or elimination of pathogens, reduction in crop losses, and increased plant health and yields.

Incredible Difference in Our Crops

In less than two months of using water made from Watson’s Ozone Water Treatment System, we are watering our farm with clear pure treated water which actually contains over 300% more dissolved oxygen to all the plants roots. The difference it is made with our crops this year is incredible.

We can count on them more than any other contractor or service provider we know!

Don Watson and his family have been providing experienced and reliable service to our well-water system since 2011. In those seven years, Watson Well has made a number of timely emergency service calls at any time of day and night, upgraded our water system, and rehabilitated our well.

Thank you Watson Well for saving our well!

When our well stopped producing water this summer, I called Watson Well. They used a special pump and opened up the well from 67’ to 132’. While inspecting the well with a video camera, they found that the wells steel casing had deteriorated in a number of places leaving large holes where sand and gravel were continuing to enter the well. They immediately installed a new liner and gravel packed the well. Our well has never produced this much water volume in twenty years of living on this property. We are also noticing a tremendous improvement in the quality of the water.

Don, his sons, and employees are all very knowledgeable and professional and did our projects at a very reasonable cost.

As Public Works Director for the Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria, I have contracted with Watson Well on five different projects for the tribe, here in Loleta, CA. Their company has completely replaced both of our main water systems submersible pumps and piping, which was not an easy task, as those wells are very deep. These projects were done very quickly and efficiently, while still maintaining a potable water supply to everyone at all times. They have the tools and equipment to not only handle the small jobs, but large jobs like this also. They have also installed three water softening units for us, as our water is very hard. These are big commercial units and all are working flawlessly. They have also developed a small rural water system for us on a piece of property the tribe recently purchased, to supply water to livestock. All of the work they have done for us is doing what they said it would do, without any problems or issues. Don, his sons, and employees are all very knowledgeable and professional and did our projects at a very reasonable cost. They stand behind their work and are only a phone call away. I would highly recommend Watson Well for any water project, no matter what the size, if you want it done right, on time and on budget, you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you so much for the excellent response and care we have received.

Your crew was courteous, prompt, clean, knowledgeable and very hard working!
It is hard to believe that it has been 9 months since I called you with an “out of water” problem on our property. It is not the call that any one on a well wants to make during a record breaking drought. You were here in a very short time and after taking in all the normal diagnostics you were concerned about us being dry but not convinced it was a true dry well. I think we were very fortunate that you had the ability to put a camera down our well to see what was happening and came up with a plan to rehabilitate our well after you discovered our weep holes for the well were plugged with iron bacteria, calcium and stuff. It gave us hope that we could get this reliable well up and running. You pulled the pump and line and determined that pump was fine. Once that was clear you put in the proper chemicals and literally scrubbed our well pipe of the “stuff” and found that our well was over 200’ deep. Water flowed and once the junk was sucked out of the well bottom and the chemicals neutralized we had 18’ more water which put us at over a 50’ column of water, of course this was fantastic. While here, all new water line and electrical wire was reinstalled and new electronics that were more current and a vast improvement of what we had. Since then the water keeps flowing with generous amounts and quality.

I can only offer my highest praise for Don and his employees; thus I rank them 10 out of 10.

During the past two years, Watson Well has designed, constructed, and maintained a number of different projects at my home. These include new water storage tanks, a water treatment system, new piping from the pump house to the residence along with separate lines and faucets for untreated water; and a complex rain water catchment system including tanks, piping and faucets to different locations, all while providing flexibility directing the water to different areas as needed. Don Watson and his crew worked efficiently and coordinated the different aspects of the jobs in an effective manner. All systems continue to operate as expected without any problems. Don was always extremely helpful and receptive to new ideas which he easily incorporated into the projects.
