Different from that.Interesting, it seems you treat the irrigation water for drinking? Am I getting that right?
You switch from a well over to irrigation water? How do you pressurize it?
How is your allotment of irrigation water measured and delivered to you land and whats it typically cost?
I'm intrigued.
I irrigate from my well. Water at the base of the mountain is plentiful. But I think irrigate in CA means something slightly different in northern WA. Most trees when established don't need watering from man. Some years in the past I didn't even need to water my lawn. Garden and news bushes and trees need water.
Anyway. I have a shallow well, and a good 240V pump. Water comes up to house and into my treatment area, I TEE off back outside with a valve for winter shutoff. Outside I have a port to pressure drain (blow) out all my irrigation pipes so they don't freeze. Super easy I just use my smallest HF compressor.
Full time water (from same source) comes to my aeration/O2 resin bed which also is a decent filter. This gets rid of and sulfur compounds, H2S etc via oxidation. Then to the softener bed for relatively high dissolved hardness as represented by Ca and Mg ions. There is some Fe and just random Mn, both of which seem to be handled as we get zero staining in our sinks and no more build up anywhere. We use expensive KCl in the softener, which I am always debating in my mind, but at the very least we don't worry about Na in the backflush or escape. If some K ions are in the water, no harm plants or animals.
Then to the UV light which I'm not sure how effective that is.
And as mentioned the drinking water goes RO.
I gave it years to settle in hahahahahha lets see what the W.A. says. Pretty soon no more worry of hard frosts.
