Water Systems Greenhouses
Water is the backbone of your nursery. No water means no plants, and no plants equate to no sales. Also, the water strategy determines plant quality and consistency.
The impending years are poised to usher in a series of challenges in the realm of water management. Factors such as water availability, collection methods, water quality, and recycling processes will take center stage. In the absence of a robust water management strategy, your ability to serve as a reliable supplier to your customers might be in danger.
We believe this should not happen to our industry. It is, therefore, more important than ever to make informed choices. We want to help you with that. Download a whitepaper below for more details.
That also means picking a greenhouse water system that:
- Is an engineered system by ErfGoed to produce good irrigation and water management
- Is reliable;
- Can be flexibly deployed;
- It is easy to use;
- It is easy to expand for the future;
- Economical on energy use.
Besides water, the way you grow plants is also crucial for success. When these two factors work together harmoniously, you get the finest growth and cultivation outcomes. Here at ErfGoed, we completely understand this, and that's why we provide growing solutions that bring both aspects together. Our ErfGoedFloor and ErfGoedWaterSystem are a perfect match. This ensures top-notch water control, like having the right pumps and filters that perfectly complement the ErfGoedFloor. If you're interested, we'd love to share more details about the different aspects of our water systems.
Advantages of the ErfGoed WaterSystem:
- Plants receive the right amount of water, at the right time, in the right place, and with the right additives (e.g., fertilizers and detergents);
- Excess water is immediately drained and can be reused;
- Through sensors on and in the floor, the ErfGoedWaterSystem responds optimally to the irrigation needs of your crop;
- The system guarantees the reliability and continuity of this critical business process;
- The system is tailor-made and tailored to the specific customer situation;
- You get maximum insight into the total solution through 3D drawings;
- The system contains signal functions for maintenance, for example;
- You have one point of contact for the entire cultivation system. There is also a helpdesk for questions and advice.

Water technique: reliable greenhouse water pump unit
The connection between the irrigation and the pump unit needs to be flawless. This assurance is a given with ErfGoed, as we provide both the pump unit and the ebb and flow floor. Our pump unit brings forth the following benefits:
- The unit is custom-designed to match your specific needs and preferences;
- It seamlessly integrates with your irrigation system or the ErfGoedFloor for optimal performance.
- To ensure an entirely dependable WaterSystem, we incorporate backup capabilities into all components wherever feasible. This guarantees uninterrupted watering capability!
- The unit comes equipped with diverse technologies for dispensing fertilizers, cleansers, or other means together with watering.
- We extend the watering system to encompass fertilizer tanks, disinfection setups, and other associated technologies.
Water Storage for Plants | Silos and Basins
As the planet's temperature rises, water storage's significance grows exponentially. The accessibility of water, particularly during arid spells, presents intricate challenges for you as a grower. At ErfGoed, we're committed to collaborating with you on this front. In numerous initiatives, we construct reservoirs to store water. These are frequently accompanied by floating covers for added effectiveness. Additionally, we design multiple silos to hold a range of water supplies, such as daily usage, specific blends, and drainage water.

Control technology through computer systems
The ErfGoedComputer plays a crucial role in optimizing the seamless collaboration between your irrigation method or the ErfGoedFloor and the ErfGoedWaterSystem. This control system equips cultivation managers with the tools to gather and synchronize cultivation data with the ErfGoedWaterSystem. This synchronization ensures the maintenance of consistent levels of temperature, humidity, and moisture content in the pots. Additionally, the system offers the convenience of remote troubleshooting. Let's highlight a few benefits:
- The software is user-friendly, with intuitive icons and buttons that are instantly comprehensible.
- Through remote access to the system, we can promptly assist you in case of any error notifications.
- It allows for the adjustment of specific values to suit your requirements.
- You can log in from anywhere to monitor your water distribution. Moreover, you can effortlessly identify and address potential issues using a 3D representation of your water management setup.
Watering Systems Greenhouse for Growers
As a grower, you have many options for irrigation. One option is the ErfGoedFloor (Ebb-Flood Floor) for watering your plants, but there are also several other options available (read more here). Whatever you choose, we would love to help, as it’s all part of an effective water management plan.

3D view of the ErfGoedWaterSystem
Whether you grow blueberries, houseplants, or young plants, as a grower, you want a healthy and uniform crop. The better you manage and control the growing process, the better your results will be.
We elaborate on our ErfGoedWaterSystems in a 3D view. In this drawing, you can click through and see in detail which components are in which place in the system. This 3D view offers the following advantages:
- You get a visual insight into the situation and the installations in the water technology room. This also gives you maximum insight in advance into the possibilities and impossibilities of the space you have reserved for the water system.
- The 3D view gives advanced insight into which adjustments are necessary or desirable. For example, you can see when a greenhouse post is in the way of placing a silo.
- Service provision after the construction and installation process improves. For example, if something needs to be replaced, we can see what you need in detail using the 3D view.
