Reliable water management is essential in modern horticulture. As climate change intensifies, the pressure on water availability increases: scarcity, stricter regulations, and higher quality standards make it crucial to store and protect sufficient clean water.

Internationally, regulations on groundwater extraction are becoming increasingly strict, requiring growers to maintain a robust on-site water reserve. Private water storage and covering are therefore vital to ensure your crops receive the right amount of high-quality water exactly when needed.

Albers Alligator supports horticultural businesses worldwide with carefully designed solutions for both water storage and water covering. Our systems help buffer fluctuations in water supply and reduce dependence on costly mains water — which is often restricted during periods of drought.

Protect your water

Maximise your return

Our flexible liner basins, silo covers, and floating covers prevent algae growth, contamination, and evaporation. As a result, your stored water remains clean and usable, leading to fewer clogged pumps and lower maintenance costs.

Clean water is key to both sustainable and profitable operations: it minimises the need for expensive mains water and reduces irrigation costs — helping you optimise both yield and profit per square metre.

In addition, our unique Multi-F Solar system allows you to get double value from your water basin: you can cover the water to protect its quality while simultaneously generating renewable energy.

With decades of experience, premium materials, tailor-made solutions, and in-house installation teams, we ensure reliable and future-proof water storage.

Water covers

Floating covers

Prevent algae growth, contamination, and water evaporation with Albers Alligator’s smart water cover systems. Whether for a water basin or a water silo, we offer the right solution for every situation.

We develop, design, supply, and install various types of floating covers that block sunlight to prevent algae growth. In addition, our systems keep out windblown debris and significantly reduce evaporation of valuable water in warmer climates.

Innovative solutions by Albers Alligator:

  • Multi-F System — our patented floating cover system, launched in 1998, now the industry standard in greenhouse horticulture.

  • Silodome — developed in cooperation with Alphatec and Buwatec, the innovative cover solution for water silos, introduced in 2020.

  • Multi-F Edge Anchoring System — introduced in 2021 as a smart evolution of the original Multi-F System, providing safe and stable anchoring.

With this comprehensive range of solutions, we can offer the ideal water cover system for any application, season, and location. For each project, we carefully select the most suitable system based on customer needs, environmental factors, and intended use.
