Pig Production
Optimising Water for Pig Production
Water is a critical input across pig production, from drinking water and distribution systems through to dams and supporting farm infrastructure. Water quality issues such as iron, sediment, minerals and biofilm can affect how reliably that water moves through the operation.
Water Challenges in Pig Production
Water moves through multiple parts of a piggery, from the source and storage through treatment and distribution to drinking points. Managing water quality across that system helps maintain a consistent supply and reliable farm infrastructure.
Drinking Water Quality
Iron, sediment, dissolved minerals and other source-water issues can affect the quality and consistency of water supplied to pigs.
Water Through the Piggery
Water quality can change through tanks, pipework and drinking systems, where iron deposits, sediment and biofilm can create ongoing problems.
Dams & Water Supply
Farm dams, variable source water and the infrastructure used to move and treat water can create challenges for maintaining a dependable water supply.
Water Quality & Treatment
Water supplied to pigs can carry iron, sediment, dissolved minerals and other contaminants depending on the source. These issues can affect water quality before it reaches drinking points and can also create problems further through the farm’s water infrastructure.
Treating Water at the Source
Removing unwanted material early helps protect the water moving into storage and distribution. OV AFM filtration can form part of the treatment train where suspended material and particulate removal are required.
Conditioning Water for Production
Where the characteristics of the source water require additional treatment, the Z Filter can be incorporated as part of the wider piggery water-treatment system. Treatment is selected around the incoming water quality and the requirements of the operation.

Iron, Biofilm &
Drinking Systems
Water quality can deteriorate as water moves through tanks, pipework and drinking systems. Iron deposits, sediment and biofilm can build up within the infrastructure, creating ongoing water-quality and maintenance issues across the piggery.
Managing Iron in the Water Supply
Where iron is present in the source water, treating it before it moves further through the system can help manage deposits in downstream infrastructure. Nanobubble oxygenation can be incorporated for iron reduction as part of the wider piggery water-treatment system.
Managing Water Through Distribution
Tanks, pipework and drinking systems also need attention where biofilm or sanitation requirements are present. Chlorine dioxide can form part of the treatment approach for managing water quality through the distribution system.

Dams, Water Supply
& Farm Reliability
Farm dams and stored water can form an important part of a piggery’s water supply. Conditions within these water sources can change over time, while the infrastructure used to pump and treat water needs to remain dependable across the operation.
Managing Stored Water
Where dams form part of the supply, aeration can help manage conditions within the water body. Air diffuser systems provide aeration and circulation as part of the broader approach to source-water management.
Supporting Reliable Water Infrastructure
Reliable water also depends on the systems used to move and treat it. Where appropriate, Solari can integrate solar and battery systems to support pumping and water-treatment infrastructure, particularly where power availability or resilience is a consideration.
