Water quality directly impacts agricultural productivity, crop health, and soil sustainability. As farming operations increasingly depend on irrigation systems, contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides, chlorine, and organic pollutants in water sources pose serious challenges.

Routine media replacement is essential for maintaining filtration efficiency, protecting downstream equipment, and ensuring long-term performance of your Everfilt® sand media filter.

When most people picture chili production, they think sunny fields, red pods, and maybe a little sweat from the heat. But the real star of the chili industry isn’t a plant, a farmer, or even fertilizer. It’s water. Clean, filtered, properly managed water.

California might be famous for beaches and tech bros, but it’s agriculture that quietly dominates the scene. Nearly one-third of America’s vegetables and two-thirds of its fruits and nuts come from California soil.

If you grow avocados, you already know one truth: good irrigation water is everything. It’s the difference between a healthy, productive grove and a stressed-out orchard that drops fruit the second a Santa Ana wind rolls through.

If you’ve been paying attention to environmental news lately, you might’ve caught something pretty alarming: California farms have been using millions of pounds of PFAS-containing pesticides every single year.

When it comes to carrot production, Kern County stands unmatched. With over 167,700 acres of carrots, more than 75% of all carrot acreage in California, this region dominates the state’s carrot industry and plays a crucial role in supplying the nation with fresh, nutritious produce.

If you grew up hearing that “farmers feed the world,” here’s the 2025 update: farmers can only feed the world if their water is clean enough to keep the whole system running.

High-demand irrigation systems rely on dependable filtration to protect pumps, pipelines, emitters, and fertigation equipment. The SM-Series3 Epoxy Removable Underdrain Sand Media Filter is engineered specifically for long-term field performance, offering a rugged design, serviceable construction, and the corrosion resistance required for harsh agricultural environments.

As urban farming becomes more popular, homeowners and community growers are planting fruit trees and cultivating crops right in residential neighborhoods.

Whether you're growing row crops, tree orchards, vineyards, or specialty plantations, ensuring that irrigation water is free of debris, sand, organic matter, and particulates not only protects your system components but also supports healthier plant growth, better yields, and lower long‐term maintenance costs.

In agriculture, every drop of water counts. Whether you’re running micro-drip lines across acres of crops, managing irrigation for a dairy operation, or maintaining greenhouse systems, water quality directly impacts your productivity and efficiency.

California doesn’t just make great avocados and wine, it basically feeds the country. From almonds to strawberries, the Golden State’s farms thrive in places that barely see rain.

If you’ve ever driven through California’s Central Valley, you know orchards stretch as far as the eye can see. Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and citrus all thriving in a place where water is as precious as gold.

Clean water is something most of us take for granted, until it isn’t. Beneath our feet, groundwater provides drinking water, nourishes crops, and keeps industries running.

The way we think about farming is changing fast. Water isn’t just water anymore; it’s a lifeline that needs to be clean, balanced, and optimized for crops to thrive.

If you eat food (hi, that’s all of us), you’re already connected to farming. But here’s the thing most people don’t think about: farming lives or dies by water quality.

Running a greenhouse in today’s Ag-tech world is all about efficiency, sustainability, and smart systems. And while it’s easy to focus on lighting, climate control, or the latest crop tech, there’s one thing that keeps it all running smoothly: clean, reliable water.

When it comes to irrigation and water treatment, low-flow doesn’t mean low-stakes. Precision is everything, especially in high-value Ag environments like greenhouses, orchards, and specialty crop operations.

If you're into farming or ag-tech, you've probably heard of sand media filters. They're the go-to choice for keeping irrigation water clean and systems flowing smoothly.
