“Corrigan’s Produce Farms have been working with WaterChem over many years on water treatment. Being a large vegetable growing business with no access to town water we had to look at ways that we could wash our produce in clean water. WaterChem has been able to work with us from start to finish and design systems to meet our needs. This includes servicing as required.

I believe Geoff is one of the most knowledgeable and helpful people in water treatment for fresh produce. He understands our requirements, limitations and works with us on solutions. Geoff is passionate in what he does and is a pleasure to work with.”

“WaterChem came to visit when we had to totally remodel the way we were growing in the ground to full hydroponic and tunnel production. We also had to look at an overhead cooling system. We had issues with the quality of the mains water, having critical levels of ecoli and bacteria. We now have 3 treatment systems in place which has fixed the issue.

Food safety is vital to our business. WaterChem also has some awesome cleaning products for packing lines. I would welcome any grower to look at WaterChem systems.”
