WaterSkid

Purify your livestock's drinking water

The WaterSkid is a smart device that purifies source and tap water by removing calcium, iron, ammonium and manganese. The best part about the WaterSkid? It’s a Plug and Play unit, sized like an Euro pallet. This makes it easy to transport and immediate setup. Connect it yourself, or have a technician handle the installation and you’re ready to enjoy purified water!

Contamination of water pipe line

WaterSkid Iron
Iron content
An iron content that is too high causes problems such as changes in color, smell and taste of the water, blockages in the pipes, lower production, inactivation of administered medications, increased bacterial pressure due to rust and the possibility of diarrhea.View all WaterSkid models
Manganese waterskid
Manganese
A black manganese deposit can be found in the piping and causes a reduced watering rate and an increased bacterial pressure. Manganese gives the water a metallic taste, which can lead to a reduced water intake in animals and therefore a lower performance. View all WaterSkid models
Waterskid biofilm
Biofilm
Biofilm is a slimy deposit and is formed by ‘polluted’ water. Iron and manganese contribute to the formation of biofilm. To address biofilm buildup, Di-O-Clean can be applied to the drinking water system to thoroughly clean and disinfect the pipes.

Do you recognise this water pipe?

Biofilm is formed when microorganisms start to grow on the deposition of minerals and organic remains inside waterlines. The bacteria produce a mucus layer that keeps growing. The pipes become clogged with the biofilm and become a feeding ground for bacteria and can spread disease. The presence of a biofilm in waterlines negatively affects water quality and plays a role in spreading infections.

Purify water with the WaterSkid

Purified water is 1% of your total feed costs, leading generally to fewer health problems, better feed utilization and higher production results.*

*Using the WaterSkid can alter the taste of drinking water from its original state, which may influence the drinking habits of animals and potentially result in increased or decreased water consumption. It is the customer's responsibility to monitor the animals' water intake. When properly adjusted, the WaterSkid maintains the bacteriological quality of the water, ensuring it remains consistent with the initial conditions.


Purified water

Filters out calcium, iron and manganese from tapwater or spring water. Continuously reliable drinking water.

Capacity

The WaterSkid is available in various models, with the I-150 Online offering the highest capacity. This model can handle up to 10.000 liters of water per hour, enough to supply daily to 500 dairy cows, 300.000 broilers or laying hens, or 15.000 fattening pigs.

Online models

The online models come with a range of alarm functions and 4G connectivity, allowing for remote monitoring, maintenance and updates. Immediately visible online whether everything is working.

Easy to install and use

The WaterSkid is easy to install yourself within half an hour. The water consumption is viewable through the app as an additional tool.

What are the benefits of investing in water quality?

As demand for drinking water continues to rise, the availability of new water sources remains limited. Water shortages can result in restrictions on usage and decreased water pressure in distribution systems.

Meanwhile, water quality faces growing challenges, and the cost of tap water is climbing. Currently, tap water is priced at approximately €0.88 per cubic meter for an average daily consumption of 25 cubic meters.

In comparison, the WaterSkid I-100 offers a cost-effective solution, providing water at just €0.30 per cubic meter. This price includes the initial purchase, amortized over 10 years, as well as annual maintenance and salt usage.

Investing in a WaterSkid means reliable water quality at a significantly lower cost.

With water, the animal regulates its body temperature and disposes of harmful substances. So water is crucial for good health. Yet the importance of water is often underestimated: water is water, right?

Purifying drinking water is an important part of the HyCare hygiene management system. The fact that the new innovations are being tested on all HyCare farms gives more opportunities to refine the products.
