To be such a fundamental component of crop cultivation, consideration of water quality is an often underappreciated discipline. Compared with field growing, recirculating hydroponic systems can reduce water consumption by nearly 80%. ECS believes the potential here is huge, and we want to help make your operation more sustainable by making sure the water recipe is accurate, conserves nutrients, contains sufficient dissolved oxygen for healthy roots and nutrient uptake, and is relatively free of pathogens for disease suppression.
Water quality is simply overlooked and poorly executed far too often. That’s why we partnered with Priva. Priva are pioneers in the design and manufacturing of fertigation systems. The Nutri-Line fertigation systems offer solutions for facilities large and small.

Whether it is ebb and flood or drip/micro irrigation, ECS considers your crop and conservation as guiding design principles. Slow, steady applications with uniform water and nutrient delivery is what Netafim, our irrigation partner, provides. Having the son of one of Netafim’s founders on our staff gives us access to a network that ensures the latest technology is placed at your roots.

Clean water is absolutely vital to plant health. That’s why filtration, disinfection by various means*, amendment and delivery are critical to each system design. ECS believes irrigation system design should start with the collection of leachate and should incorporate water recirculation as part of the answer to limited and poor quality water supplies. Why? Because recirculation can lead to water volume reductions of 1/3 and can cut fertilizer use in half.
*Talk to us about ozonation for disinfection and oxygen enhancement, and copper/silver amendment for biofilm control.
