Hot weather stresses swine in many ways. Some effects are very visible and measurable, while other hidden complications may go unnoticed until weeks or even months have passed. Poor feed conversion, reduced feed intake, lower conception rates, early embryonic deaths, and even deaths of mature animals can result when hogs are exposed to abundant heat. Our innovative, easy-to-use and cost-effective Drip-Cool and Spray-Cool systems curb the far-reaching impacts of heat stress on sows, boars, and finishing hogs. Wetting the hog’s hide for brief periods of time with a drip or coarse spray is the most successful technique for cooling swine.

• Controls amount of water used by adjusting shower times automatically to accommodate for increases and decreases in temperature – eliminates programming guesswork.
• Easy and economical to install and operate, giving you a quick return on investment.
• User-programmable controller creates customized cooling programs.
• Two-Year warranty on all controllers

Edstrom offers all major components needed to economically set up an intermittent showering system in your facility – including the controller, spray and drip nozzles, electric valves, filters, and pressure reducers.

Smart Mode – Exactly the right amount of cooling at any temperature
Unique to the market, Smart Mode provides innovative, infinite-stage cooling by increasing shower frequency automatically as temperatures rise. This self-activating technology adjusts the length of time between shower cycles in correspondence to fluctuations in temperature. Smart Mode’s fine-tuning capabilities enable you to stay ahead of increasing heat stress conditions when temperatures rise, and help you conserve water when temperatures fall.

Spray-Cool System
Designed for use in swine finishing units or group gestation buildings, this system utilizes coarse droplet shower nozzles that thoroughly wet the animal’s hide.

Drip-Cool System
Ideal for farrowing rooms or crated gestation facilities where it’s important to direct the water onto the individual sow to avoid excess moisture in the surrounding area.

Controllers
The Edstrom Controller monitors the temperature and regulates the shower cycles within the cooling system. It features intuitive controls with flexible programming options to deliver precise cooling. Designed for single or multiple zone cooling, these easy-to-program controllers can be set to operate either in two-stage mode or Smart Mode.
