OKYANUS Cattle Farm
The Challenge

OKYANUS Cattle Farm was facing limescale problems in the cows' drinking water lines. They needed to protect chrome-plated milking equipment from scale damage and improve water quality to encourage better drinking habits in their herd of approximately 3,500 cows.

The Solution: Clean Water for 3,500 Cows

Main Water Tank Outlet

Installation: 1 x Vulcan S25 at the outlet of the main water tank

A single Vulcan S25 was installed at the outlet of the farm's main water tank, treating all water distributed to the cattle. This protects both the drinking water lines and the chrome-plated milking equipment from limescale buildup.

Vulcan Model Used

This dairy farm installed the Vulcan S25, ideal for agricultural applications with pipe diameters up to 4 inches and flow rates up to 130 GPM.
