How one Wisconsin dairy farm solved hard water challenges
Problem
A large dairy operation was experiencing hard-water spotting on equipment and orange staining throughout their parlor, requiring constant, labor-intensive cleaning. After evaluating their existing system, Sterling Water found the current equipment was undersized and unable to consistently provide treated water 24/7 during peak demand.
Solution
Sterling Water worked directly with the dairy to review water usage, peak flow rates and perform onsite water testing to properly size and design a new system that would meet all operational requirements.
Result
Since upgrading to a customized system, the dairy has seen a significant improvement in water quality, with the elimination of hard-water spotting and staining. The new system has also significantly reduced labor hours spent on cleaning and maintenance.
