    BETTER CROP GROWTH AND BETTER WATER FLOW

    Hydrosmart is the general solution to most of your hard water and saline water problems. Do you have large water volumes to treat? Substandard water? An extensive list of domestic and commercial customers has been serviced by Hydrosmart and satisfied over the course of a decade. Like these customers, you will achieve a distinct growth advantage for your crops, while simultaneously reaping the benefits of cleaner pipes and better flow.

    REDUCE LIVESTOCK LOSS

    Users have obtained up to 10% reduction in stock loss, after installing Hydrosmart on bore water or dam water containing dangerous levels of salinity. Improvements in egg shell quality are seen. Control odours in stock effluent ponds. Eliminate struvite from drains. In aquaculture improve your Barramundi health, reduce water turnover time, and double your filter replacement period, thus halving cost and maintenance time. Beneficial effects on magnesium levels in muscles of racing animals and breeding animals.

    SCIENCE

    Nutrient levels in crops and harvests are enhanced by the use of resonance technology. Treated water enables plants to grow better than nature intended. Nutrients in your water become available due to treatment, and simultaneously flow is improved in irrigation and watering systems. Use of this technology enables you to turn fundamental physics against the challenges that you face in dry and challenging conditions so that both the land and you the grower come up winners. Hydrosmart offers you the opportunity to make the most of the nutrients already on your property, thus reducing fertiliser costs. Scientific trials conducted on crops grown in saline water have produced rock solid data: crop systems with and without Hydrosmart perform radically differently; crops treated were alive and healthy, while those untreated were dead or unhealthy. PhD qualified testing associates have in recent years shown reductions in calcium particle size and dramatic improvements in crops.

    HOW IT WORKS

    Hydrosmart uses computer generated resonance technology to provide both de-scaling and scale prevention. It acts on minerals to change large crystals into tiny particles, and in doing so effectively prevents scale from forming. The effects of resonance frequency treatment remain present in water for several days and progressively break down any already existing scale or bio-films. Hydrosmart also dissolves an array of minerals better than nature intended, and this is the basis of the growth advantage observed in crops grown under the treatment. Minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and iron are affected, and become available for crop growth. Large volumes of water are treated because there are no filters required and accordingly no obstruction to flow or rate.

    CHEMICAL-FREE DESCALING & SCALE PREVENTION

    Hydrosmart allows growers to utilise water supplies previously considered unsuitable, greatly increasing business viability and infrastructure longevity, in ever changing climate conditions. The bond breaking technology of Hydrosmart, provides growers with a cost effective water treatment which is completely sustainable, chemical-free and environmentally friendly.

    ANTI-CORROSION

    Hydrosmart was originally developed as an anti-corrosion technology, which continues to be one of its strengths. By breaking transient bonds, Hydrosmart dissolves minerals more thoroughly and for longer than in untreated water. The resulting effective hydration of minerals, means they are less reactive and their corrosion activity is neutralised.

    HEALTHY CROPS IN HIGH SALINITY WATER

    Hydrosmart consistently provides users with the ability to grow a wide range of healthy crops in water with salinity levels normally considered toxic. Salinity issues have a high profile in the agricultural sector because of the potential threat they pose to sustainable agriculture. Hydrosmart technology is part of the good news for growers. Over many years it has proven to be a very cost effective way of resolving salinity issues for commercial growers using a variety of soil types and with various salinity levels. The bond breaking process of Hydrosmart is not only effective on salinity, it is also sustainable. By reducing your reliance on descaling chemicals and lessening fertiliser requirement, your turf will be healthier and your business bottom line will benefit.

    YOUR IRRIGATION IN ACTION

    After installation of Hydrosmart, minerals are dissolved and remain in the flow as smaller particles that will pass through any dripper, filter or spray nozzle that has a pore size bigger than 4 microns. The first bonds to be broken are those between the pipe work and the scale, which can sometimes break off in lumps and flow towards the end of the irrigation system, making it important to flush out the broken down scale during the first few weeks of the de-scaling process. More conventional treatments require the use of acid which ends up in the soil. By contrast, with Hydrosmart there are no harmful chemical additions to the soil, so soil health remains robust. Treating an irrigation system with Hydrosmart provides considerable savings in maintenance costs relating to labour and associated consumables, as well as ensuring even irrigation to individual blocks and rows.

    PLANT PHYSIOLOGY

    Significant improvements in plant growth have been observed, whenever Hydrosmart is used to treat irrigation systems. Essential minerals in the water such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron, which are essential for healthy plant growth are now hydrated sufficiently to be easily absorbed into the plant. Calcium is made more available and so is easily transported throughout the plant, eliminating growing problems, whilst significantly improving fresh weight, taste, colour and shelf life.

    Other more conventional treatments require the use of acid which can end up in the soil harming the ecology and interfering with plant root function. By contrast, with Hydrosmart there are no potentially harmful additions to the soil.

    Efficient transpiration within the plants causes sugars to readily generated and easily mobilized. For similar reasons, an increase in the plant's resistance to disease and insect damage is observed. Many growers using Hydrosmart treatment to de-scale irrigation equipment, are reporting significant increases in sugar levels allowing crops to be picked on the full with greater harvest tonnages.

    BENEFITS FOR CROP GROWTH

    The small particles become bio-available as a plant nutrient, giving a double benefit. Iron, calcium, magnesium, and iron build up in pipes is released and converted into available nutrients. Treating an irrigation system with Hydrosmart provides considerable savings in the maintenance cost of labour and associated consumables, and ensures that irrigation is constant.
