Description of Business
Holme Valley Camping and Caravan Park is a peaceful, picturesque park located in the heart of the summer wine country surrounded by woodland and meadows. Popular with families and couples alike, the park is a great place to visit for a weekend break or a longer get-away.
Situation/Problem
The park had originally used mains water to supply its campers, but old cast iron pipes left deposits of iron oxide in the water, giving it a metallic taste and a poor colour, which stained clothes in the laundry. The decision was made to drill a borehole and have a water sample tested as an alternative to mains water. The tests initially showed the water to contain fairly high concentrations of manganese and iron compounds derived from the 39 meters of rock through which the water had passed before accumulating on an impervious bed-rock.
How they heard about us
The park owners, Philip and Hazel Peaker already had a good working relationship with their local Plumb Center in Huddersfield, where Steve Shaw, the branch supervisor, unreservedly recommended Culligan.
Solution
In order to use this new source of water from the borehole, water treatment was required to remove the manganese and iron. Culligan made recommendations for a series of filtration equipment, which successfully removed the problem elements outlined by the water sample tests. A UV system was also required to sterilise the water, further ensuring that it is of a quality suitable for drinking, as well as for general use on the park.
