Dear Jan,

When you sold me the Hydrosmart water conditioner to treat my 150 mm ( 6") irrigation pipe that supplies water to one 8 hectare site I was quietly sceptical to say the least.

Having three main crops, Broccoli, Chinese Broccoli and Bok Choy which were showing serious signs of salt stress using my bores 2,400 ppm sodium chloride water, I had little choice but to try something different to overcome the salt problems that were making big problems for my plants. I could not afford the reverse osmosis system to take out the salt and you said your thing works on salt so I gave it a try.

My Bok Choy showed lots of mottling on the leaves and was not growing very well, it also was a light green not dark, they should be dark when healthy.
The broccoli was also pale, had yellow spots and flowered early without being very healthy either.

You put the Hydrosmart 150 mm system on my pipe last year and within a few weeks the plants were starting to pick up so I was surprised and pleased. After the full season was out the crops were in good health and colour, it was quite impressive to watch.

I am getting the same result this year with my crops and it looks like the earth is becoming less crusty with salts, it feels softer and works easier than before watering with the water conditioner on.

As it has worked so well I am now getting another 200 mm system with 3 computers to treat another site with 4,000 ppm salt levels as I have no choice but to use this water due to Werribee's water restrictions this year. I look forward to seeing if it works as well as on 2,400 ppm.

I think you guys are on a winner.
