Zwart Systems offers water silos as a cost-effective solution to store water in your greenhouse. With stored water, you will have irrigation water you can control on your own terms.
Water Storage Systems
Farms in North America are experiencing water shortages and/or rising water costs. By installing water silos farms can turn free rainwater into a valuable advantage.
If you have on-site wells, a water silo allows wells to run continuously, filling a water buffer large enough to store water to irrigate an entire farm for a day.
Farms with gutter connect greenhouses can collect free rainwater that would otherwise drain away. Zwart can help you find the right solution for your water storage needs.
Water Storage Overview
All water silos have a coated bottom ring and access points located in the floor. A silo can be buried up to 36” to help stabilize outdoor installations, or to gain more water storage in indoor installations. Silos can store up to 1.7 million liters (470,000 gallons) of water. Smaller poly tank installations are also available. Fabric, floating and hard covers are available for all water silos.

Client Projects |
Water Storage & Irrigation Systems | UnderSun Acres II
After a very successful project in 2017, Under Sun Acres has now completed phase two of a new 25-acre state-of-the-art glass pepper greenhouse range. This project was made in conjunction with a new natural gas co-gen station to supply power to the grid while using the heat and CO2 produced in the greenhouses.
Zwart Systems flood floors are our preference to any other floors. We would not keep installing them if the growers and ownership did not see benefits regarding crop consistency and quality.
