Fessler’s Nursery turned to BioTherm’s cascade floor subirrigation system to evenly water plants using less water and reducing labor costs.

Fessler’s Nursery wanted to expand their production space to meet their ever-growing market demand. However, they also needed to provide the highest quality product, with the lowest labor cost, all the while maintaining their earth-friendly business practices.

BioTherm Cascade Floors are the most efficient method of sub-irrigation. Water is pumped to individual irrigation zones, where a thin skim of water evenly irrigates every plant as it flows from the fill side to the drain side of the zone.

Cascade Floors use a unidirectional slope which allows gravity to drain the system. Because the system fills and drains simultaneously, water is available for same-cycle use. These design features allow for a faster irrigation cycle with less energy expended for pumping. Reduced labor and water conservation are additional benefits of a BioTherm Cascade Floor.
