The Sacramento location has been plagued with old irrigation tanks. These are made out of redwood and seem to always be sprouting new leaks. It got to a point where something had to be done.

Mark Marriot, the general manager, has dealt with TrueLeaf Technologies in the past with their heating systems and Argus controls. After talking to Al Zylstra and Morris Brink at TrueLeaf, he was excited to purchase a new Buwatank.

BuwaTec Water Technology has teamed up with TrueLeaf to represent their water storage tanks and liners to the greenhouse industry in the United States. BuwaTec is the European leader in manufacturing water storage tanks. Buwatanks are made out of corrugated steel and are shipped in pieces to be assembled on site. There are three different liners and a variety of covers to choose from.

Shann Marriot from Village Nurseries is the maintenance manager. He says the new 130,000 gallon tank is “pretty cool.” He says it is very practical, easy to install, low maintenance and is built to last. It is working great to keep their outside production irrigated throughout the hot Sacramento summers.

Since their first tank that was installed in the beginning of 2006, they have purchased a second tank. They plan to continue to replace the four remaining wood tanks with Buwatanks over the next several years.
