2011 TL Irrigation Seminar: Basics of Filtering

Presented by Fred Ahnert, Corporate Development Manager, Yardney Water Management Systems, Inc.

This session provides an overview of the many types of filters that have become available as more projects use alternate water supplies for landscape irrigation. Since filters are an important component of the system when using non-potable water for irrigation, water quality as well as quantity needs to be considered to select the proper filter.

Daniel R. Veltema
Co-Owner
Spring Brook Supply
Daniel R. Veltema, CID, CIT, CLIA, has worked in the irrigation, pump and well industries since early childhood. In 1984, he started working full time for his father's irrigation business, Spring Brook Supply, in Holland, Michigan. After his father retired in 2004, Veltema took over ownership and management of Spring Brook Supply with his brother. In 2000, they transitioned the business out of contracting and installation to a distributor of irrigation, pump and water treatment supplies. Over the next few years they increased product selection by adding outdoor lighting, drainage and orchard equipment. Due to strong growth, a second location was opened in 2004. The Irrigation Association recognized Veltema as a regional authorized instructor in the same year. He has been an instructor for the IA for 11 years.
