It’s spring again, which means growers are experiencing more solar irradiance. For growers, it is often the time to act quickly. Because as important as sunlight is, there is a disadvantage called: excessive algae growth. A threat to any open water storage system, which can cause many problems. Growers cannot do without clean water.
The most efficient solution for keeping stored water clean year-round is a good cover system. According to Genap, the selection of cover systems is so large that there is always a suitable solution.
Roger Vos, Genap: “That way you kill two birds with one stone. First of all, by doing this you maintain good water quality. An accurate cover prevents algae growth and you also get little to no pollution in the water because of sand, leaves, or other debris blowing in. This also solves the problem of clogged irrigation and filtration systems.
Secondly, you maximize the capacity of the water storage system, because with the cover you have no waves and almost no evaporation."
Don’t wait with procuring a cover system Those who want permanent access to clean water need to take the right measures.
And spring is ideal when looking at algae growth. In other words, clean water in the summer means covering before the summer. "It is important not to start preparations too late," agrees Roger Vos. "If you are early, you certainly have enough time to determine which cover system works best for you. In addition, you prevent any contamination from occurring at an early stage and this will give you a lead in water storage management compared to others.”
The message is clear: now is the time to seize the opportunity to cover your water storage system well before the summer. Then you'll assure yourself of clean water for years to come.
