Rural properties in and around Broadclyst, Killerton, and Westclyst face unique water supply challenges not experienced in urban areas. From private water supplies to specialized agricultural systems, managing water in a rural property requires expert knowledge and tailored solutions.
Private Water Supplies: Management and Maintenance
Many rural properties around Broadclyst rely on private water supplies rather than mains water. These systems require specialized knowledge and regular maintenance:
Water Quality Testing
We offer comprehensive water quality testing for private supplies, checking for bacteria, chemicals, and mineral content to ensure your water is safe for consumption.
Filtration Systems
Custom filtration solutions designed for the specific characteristics of your water supply, including iron removal, pH correction, and sediment filtration.
Pump Maintenance
Regular servicing and emergency repair of borehole pumps, submersible pumps and pump control systems to ensure reliable water supply.
Storage Solutions
Modern, hygienic water storage systems designed to maintain water quality and provide consistent supply during power outages or pump failures.
Case Study: Killerton Estate Property
We recently upgraded a spring-fed water system for a property near Killerton. The existing system suffered from sediment issues and inconsistent pressure. We installed a multi-stage filtration system, UV purification, and a modern constant pressure pump system. The result was crystal clear water with consistent pressure throughout the property, regardless of demand.
Agricultural Water Systems
Broadclyst's agricultural heritage means many properties require specialized farming and livestock water systems:
- Livestock Watering Systems: Reliable, frost-protected water delivery systems for all types of livestock, from troughs with ball-valve protection to more sophisticated systems.
- Irrigation Solutions: Water-efficient irrigation systems for market gardens, polytunnels, and agricultural operations around Broadclyst and Westclyst.
- Rainwater Harvesting: Sustainable water collection systems that reduce reliance on mains water or borehole supplies, particularly valuable for Broadclyst's agricultural properties.
- Frost Protection: Specialized solutions to prevent water system damage during Devon's winter months, including trace heating and insulation systems.
