Climate Control Systems (CCS) of Ontario has built a hydroponic water treatment system for an Algerian tomato grower that provides up to 40 per cent savings on water and fertiliser costs.

Eric Labbate of CCS said: “We provide farmers with a complete water recovery and filtration process for irrigation waste water.

"This provides greenhouse growers with 30 to 40 per cent saving on water and fertilizer costs.

"It was even ordered with a built-in water chiller. Maximum temperatures of over 40°C are coming in the summer in Algeria so we built the unit to handle cooling.”
