ECA-unit for water purification
Using a watering system you ensure the crop to receive its daily correct quantity of water. Water may however contain all kinds of micro-organisms, like algae, which creates a biofilm in the watering system. This biofilm shelters all kinds of bacteria, fungi and viruses, that eventually end up in the crop, via irrigation, and contaminate the crop. An ECA-unit ensures the complete cleaning of the system, preventing the formation of biofilm. In this article, our specialists will give more information about water purification by means of an ECA-unit.

Biofilm
A biofilm consists of a layer of bacteria, surrounded by an automatically formed mucus layer that attaches to the inside of irrigation pipe, drip irrigation systems, filters, water installations and water storage tanks. In combination with organic and mineral pollution, the biofilm forms a persistent layer that is hard to remove. This causes blockages and nestling of all kinds of pathogens. Drain heaters and UV device are not effective against these biofilms, because they have no after-effect; an ECA-unit is effective though.
Functioning of ECA-unit
An ECA-unit operates on the basis of electrolysis. Electrolysis is a well-known technology where an electrical current is lead through a liquid. Softened tap water containing dissolved potash is activated in the ECA-unit, via electrolysis, into an active chlorine, also called ECA-Solution. This is a mix of free radicals (e.g. free chlorine components) and oxidants. These substances react with all kinds of micro-organisms and eliminate them. The ECA-unit passes on the ECA-Solution via the drip irrigation – or ebb and flow - system, so the entire watering system is cleaned internally. Then micro-organisms can no longer attach to and hide on the clean walls, so that no biofilm can be created.

Adsorption as a water purification technology
Adsorption is a water purification technology where water gets purified when molecules in the water to be purified attach to the surface of a solid substance that is added to the water.

Heating as water purification technology
Water purification is an important condition for a good cultivation. Water may contain bacteria, viruses, fungi and other micro-organisms, that cause contamination of the crop.

Which water purification technologies are available?
Water purification is an important condition for a good cultivation. When you work with recirculation, it is imperative to adequately purify the water before administering it to the crop again.
