Dearnsdale Fruit, Staffordshire, United Kingdom
In Dearnsdale Fruit, Staffordshire, a lot of algae grows in the reservoir which supplies the water for the irrigation of 50ha soft fruit production and causes a lot of blockages in the hydraulic system.
Dearnsdale Fruit tested a Nanobubble system from another company that only provided oxygen during the summer of 2021. However, this solution did not improve the quality of the water or inhibit the aggressive growth of algae

2021Prevent blooming of algae & zooplankton in the reservoir which supplies the water for the irrigation of 50ha of Berry orchards and causes biofilm in the irrigation systems.
During the summer of 2021, this grower installed an Oxygen Nanobubble System of a different company, the solution didn’t improve the water quality and did not affect the aggressive growth of algae.
In November 2021 we installed Filtroflex’s Ozone Nanobubble System and started operating it around the middle of February and kept it running throughout the growing season.
Although the summer of 2022 was exceptionally hot in the UK, the application of the Ozone Nanobubble System prevented the blooming of the algae with a fantastic effect on the water quality.
The water pumped from the reservoir to the irrigation system was free of algae, the water containing Ozone Nanobubbles also removed old biofilm which builds-up in the irrigation system and prevented it from causing blockages in the hydraulic system. No blockages occurred during all of the season.
The application of the Ozone Nanobubble technology by Filtoflex successfully performed during extreme conditions to the full satisfaction of the end user.
