Steps for Getting the Right Water Treatment for Your Grow Op
There are plenty of companies that will simply ask how many plants you have and sell you a generic setup of lights and platforms. But because they don’t tailor their equipment to your specific environment, your final product often pays the price.
At Besco, we follow a precise process to ensure your water is an asset, not a liability:
-
Step 1: Free Water Analysis & Pretreatment Planning
Since water chemistry varies from one town to the next, we start with a professional water test. Once we know exactly what’s in your water, we identify the specific pretreatment—like carbon filtration or water softening—needed to protect your RO membranes and your plants. This ensures we’re solving your specific water problems before they even start.
-
Step 2: Custom System Sizing & Engineering
“One size fits all” doesn’t work in commercial cannabis. We look at your facility’s specific flow rates and daily gallon requirements to engineer a system that keeps up with your peak demand. Whether you’re running a boutique grow or a massive industrial operation, we size your equipment to ensure you never run dry.
-
Step 3: Professional Installation & Performance Testing
Our team handles the heavy lifting, ensuring your new high-purity system is integrated seamlessly into your facility. We don’t just hook it up and head out; we perform rigorous performance testing to verify that your pH, PPM, and flow rates are exactly where they need to be for a successful harvest.
Why We Recommend Watering Cannabis Plants with Reverse Osmosis
For a commercial grow operation, a reverse osmosis water filter system is considered the best option for sourcing water for growing cannabis at a commercial level.
While these systems are typically avoided in the commercial agriculture industry, they have proven necessary for growing cannabis. This is because unfiltered water molecules found in tap or distilled water have the potential to carry a lot of nasty nutrients that can easily harm or kill your cannabis plants.
Using reverse osmosis filtration is the most cost-effective and reliable way to ensure consistent, pure water quality for your plants. The process begins with water molecules being forced through a semipermeable membrane. The contaminants and waste are then rinsed into the drain while the refined water is filtered into a holding tank. This helps the water look and smell better. Reverse osmosis systems are excellent at filtering out contaminants for cannabis growing operations.
Treating water using a reverse osmosis system will guarantee clean water for your plants.
The Importance of Your pH and PPM Measurements
You should always be aware of your pH (potential hydrogen) levels and PPM (parts per million).
pH measures the acidity and alkalinity of a fluid. To keep your cannabis plants healthy, you need to keep your water’s pH levels between 6 and 7. Too much acidity or alkalinity can quickly kill your plants, costing you money.
The PPM level measures the presence of dissolved solids in water. This measurement shows what percentage of your water contains contaminants, such as:
- Chlorine
- Rocks
- Bacteria
- Uranium
Water that contains a lot of these contaminants is referred to as “hard water”. Water without a lot of these contaminants is referred to as “soft water”.
Obviously, this is complex. That’s where we come in. Our professionals will take a look at your water’s pH and PPM levels and determine the best course of action for your business.
