ouncils and government departments
when looking to solve water
problems like salinity, scale, iron or
algae are increasingly adopting the
environmentally friendly, sustainable, atomic
resonance technology made by Adelaide company
Hydrosmart International Pty Ltd.
In use by many councils around Australia, solving
diverse issues, the one compact easy to install and
apply technology is leading by results.
Installed by Goyder Council S.A. when mat algae
had become a big issue back in 2004 for the pretty
Flinders Ranges town’s recreational waterway (
white dogs were turning green from falling into
the stream at that time) . Spending just $20 a year
in power to run the computerised water treatment,
the algae has been effectively managed ever since.
ALGAE
Steven Kerrigan, Goyder Council’s CEO reported :
Approximately two to three months after the
installation the creek was practically algae free, giving
tourists and residents almost crystal clear water
as part of their creek views. These units have also
prevented any further outbreaks of algae.”
Rockhampton Council Qld. installed a unit to
effectively treat its algae problems in a pond in its
Japanese Gardens.

Exmouth Shire WA installed two units onto hard
mains water used in treating its ablutions to
prevent and manage scale and Geoff Wilkes,
airport manager at Learmonth reports as follows :
SCALE
After initial installation all the water outlets would
run cloudy for a few seconds before becoming
clear, I assume this was because there was years
of calcium build up to remove
We now use a lot less chemicals to remove scale
from the toilets and urinals and before we were
giving them an acid bath once a month we now
do this once a year
Electric kettles have gone from being encrusted
with calcium to shiny stainless steel
The electric hot water storage units are no longer
continuously blowing elements
The cold water drinking fountains no longer block
up and the water tastes better (tasted slightly
stale before)
There has been no noticeable increase in power
consumption
Because all of the town’s water supply comes from
bores through limestone everybody has problems
with scale and calcium
So we constantly recommend Hydrosmart as we
are very happy with our purchase

Whereas Kimba Council SA use it to manage
scale blockage in their ovals irrigation systems
that prior to use were causing much expense
and management of changing blocked sprinkler
heads with this issue becoming a thing of the
past. Quilpy Qld Shire’s applying one shortly to
treat 100 degree sub- artesian water supplied to
the whole community due to scaling issues faced.
Tennant Creek NT and Streaky Bay SA Councils
use to descale build ups from pipes and protect
against build up.
IRON
Pittwater Council on Sydney’s Nth Shore installed
units to two of its bores a few years ago when
realising iron levels were going to cause grief
and staining of the fences and surrounds and
were very pleased when build up /blockages and
stains never became an issue and their grass has
remained remarkably healthy . As result Woolarah
Council plans to install onto an oval in East Sydney
where it faces the same issues after visiting their
North Shore neighbours.
SALINITY
Rockhampton Qld, Geraldton WA, Walkerville
SA, Ararat Council Vic. amongst other councils
have used Hydrosmart to effectively and simply
counter toxic effects of salty water used to irrigate
their ovals.
