Can you clean river water?

My bore water is too salty for my sheep/cattle – what can be done?
Our core business is Reverse Osmosis (RO). This is a filtration process that removes over 95% of the salts in water. If you provide a water analysis, we can quote a custom-made system for your property. And as you know, your stock will “do” a lot better on nice, fresh, clean water. (ie, breeding, fattening, general health)
***Also, cleaning dam water can be just as beneficial. Studies have shown that stock thrive on water that is bacteria free, where stock either not allowed to drink from the dam directly or bacteria is removed from the dam water. Dairy cows are also susceptible to poor water quality.
Are there any bugs in rainwater?
There is a high potential for bugs in any water unless it’s disinfected. The issue is with the contaminants on your roof, piping system and tank. Typically, we would install UV steriliser at its point of use – meaning it disinfects as the water is passing through it.
