Efficient use of water for floor cleaning
One of the problems that we will face in the near future will be water scarcity, largely due to climate change, so systems that help to optimize and improve the efficiency of water use, such as the one we are about to explain, are indispensable. The main objective of this livestock practice is to reduce the consumption of clean water and the amount of cleaning water that goes to the slurry pond, increasing both environmental and economic resilience, as it also results in savings in the bill. In addition, there is also a decrease in the consumption of clean water and a high efficiency in cleaning, due to the hot temperature and the presence of detergent. The investment is around 3,000 € and the necessary equipment includes a 1,000L tank with pump, where to store the water to be reused and the hose to use the collected water; control set, to control the water to be recirculated; and a three-way valve, which sends the water to the previous tank and removes the water that is not to be recirculated.
