9. Mixing the filtered water with new rainwater

In the next step, the filtered water is mixed with fresh rainwater. Before we use this rainwater in cultivation, it is first disinfected to remove potential fungi and bacteria.

Both the nutrient solution and drainage water are systematically analyzed for nutrients. This way, we know exactly what the plant uses and can adjust the feeding schedule accordingly. Based on new measurements, any missing nutrients are added so that the water once again fully meets the plant's needs.

This process makes the system largely circular. Water is continuously reused, replenished, and optimized. As a result, waste is minimized and efficiency remains high.

Compared to traditional linear systems, where water is discharged after use, our approach offers many advantages in terms of sustainability, costs, and environmental impact.
