Ian Wanted His Pond Swirling

Ian Bell wanted his effluent pond swirling. So when his first stirrer wasn’t getting the job done he went on the hunt for something better…

‘The stirrer was just inadequate. It only just dipped into the pond!’
Ian Bell – Dairy Farmer, Reperoa

Ian could see the original stirrer wasn’t able to get the whole pond swirling, and he asked for it to be removed while he went on the hunt for something better. After doing some research he gave Nevada a call.

‘You were the only ones who had one that looked like it would get the whole pond swirling.’

Mike took a trip out to visit Ian and have a look at the current set-up. There was more than enough storage capacity, and the concrete pad was in a good location for the stirrer, he just needed a stirrer that would get the job done!

‘After the last one [stirrer] I had my reservations. Mike recommended a 9m stirrer, and I asked if he’d guarantee it would work. It’s been in there 9 months now, and I won’t be sending this one back! It gets the pond swirling nice.’
