Case Study: Portable Nanofiltration Solution for a Horse Ranch in Southern California

​The Challenge: Providing Clean, Safe Water for Livestock

A ranch owner in San Diego, California, faced significant challenges with her well water, which was used for her horses, goats, and donkeys. The water quality issues included:

• High Hardness: Leading to scale buildup in water buckets and troughs.
• Elevated Sodium and TDS Levels: Creating an unpleasant taste, causing livestock to avoid drinking adequate amounts.
• Coliform Bacteria Contamination: Raising health concerns, especially for her horses.
• Labor-Intensive Maintenance: Constantly cleaning coated water buckets and frequently replacing ineffective in-line sediment and carbon filters.

She was convinced that the livestock's reluctance to drink the water impacted their health, and the time spent cleaning and maintaining water buckets diverted attention from other essential ranch tasks. The ranch owner needed a comprehensive, cost-effective solution that could address all these issues.

​The Solution: RainDance-TPC-1500 Portable Nanofiltration Water Purification System

​After consulting with RainDance Water Systems, the ranch owner received personalized guidance to address her water quality challenges. RainDance helped her:

1. Understand the Problem: By directing her to a certified water testing lab, she obtained a detailed analysis of her well water. Results showed high levels of hardness, sodium, TDS (765 ppm), and coliform bacteria.
2. Evaluate Solutions: RainDance presented two tailored options, and the ranch owner selected the RainDance-TPC-1500 Portable Nanofiltration Water Purification System.

​Why the TPC-1500 Was the Perfect Fit
​The RainDance-TPC-1500 system was ideal for the ranch's unique needs:

• Advanced Nanofiltration Technology: Reduced TDS to 67 ppm and completely removed coliform bacteria, ensuring safe, clean water for the livestock.
• Portability: Designed with a dolly for easy transport, the system can be moved between pastures, placed in a horse trailer’s tack room, or even mounted on a pickup truck for convenient operation.
• Versatility: Beyond livestock use, the treated water was also used for the ranch’s vegetable garden, which thrived without sodium-laden irrigation water.
• Durability and Efficiency: Unlike previous in-line filters, the TPC-1500 effectively handled the high sodium and TDS without frequent filter replacements, saving time and money.

​The Results: Improved Water Quality and Livestock Health
​After implementing the RainDance-TPC-1500, the ranch owner reported dramatic improvements:

• Healthier Livestock: Animals began drinking more water, resulting in better hydration and overall health.
• Reduced Maintenance: Water buckets stayed cleaner for longer, freeing up valuable time for other ranch tasks.
• Portable Convenience: The system was easily transported to horse shows and events, eliminating concerns about water quality while traveling.
• Gardening Success: The vegetable garden thrived with the purified water, as sodium was no longer an issue.
