Dear Paul

I own a 30 hectare Turf Farm north of Perth, Western Australia, which is irrigated by two bores.

Twelve months ago I realized that I had a problem with iron build up in the pipes causing iron sclerosis. I had thought that my only option was to install a dam to pump the bore water to, so as to aerate the water and therefore drop the iron out. The approximate cost of this option would have been $70,000.00.

I chose instead to install Hydrosmart as a more simple and cost effective answer to the problem.
I have two production bores, Hydrosmart has been installed on only one of the bores, but because the farm is ring-mained the water flow has cleaned all the pipes.

I have been very impressed with the results and list the following advantages which I feel are attributable to the reduced iron content and therefore 'healthier water' due to Hydrosmart.

• Completely clean mainline that was previously functioning at 70mm and is now back up to 100mm due to less iron build-up.
• No blocked sprinkler heads.
• No seed-head problems.
• Stronger and better quality turf rolls.
• Fertiliser costs down approximately 30%.
• In previous years I have had to apply up to 600 litres of wetting agent to overcome dry patches, since installing Hydrosmart I haven't had to use any.
• Mowing costs are down significantly.
• Production is up approximately 50% - despite one of the coldest starts to summer on record.
• Fruit trees in the home orchard are looking very healthy and producing fruit again.
• Iron stains are disappearing from all walls and windows.
