Hydrosmart is based on particle physics research which has established that scale layers and corrosion problems are related to how well minerals in water are dissolved. Hydrosmart dissolves a broad range of minerals
Scientifically proven by Suntec Labs (NZ), RMIT (Vic), Flinders Uni (S.A) and Mahidol Uni (Thailand).
HOW IT WORKS
Hydrosmart uses computer-generated resonance technology to provide both de-scaling and scale prevention. It acts on minerals to change large particles into tiny particles, and in doing so effectively prevents scale from forming, and removes existing scale.
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 can be treated because there are no filters required and accordingly no obstruction to flow rate.
HEALTHY CROPS IN HIGH SALINITY WATER
Hydrosmart provides users with the ability to grow a wide range of healthy crops in water with salinity levels normally considered toxic to chosen plant species. Salinity has a high profile in agricultural media because of the potential threat it poses 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 and water filtration issues for commercial operations using a variety of soil types and with various salinity levels. Hydrosmart restructures the interaction between salt and water, to remove the salt crust on plant roots. This approach is effective and sustainable.
YOUR IRRIGATION & WATER FILTRATION 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, ensuring even irrigation to individual blocks and rows.
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.
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 savings in maintenance costs relating to labour and consumables.
ONGOING SCIENCE
Nutrient levels in harvested crops are enhanced by the use of water filtration and resonance technology. This has been documented in tests over a period of more than a decade and the Hydrosmart research program has federal approval to continue. Treated water enables plants to grow at salinities that nature never intended. Nutrients in irrigation water also become available due to treatment, while descaling action in watering systems leads to better flow and thus improved irrigation.
The 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 the opportunity to make the most of the nutrients already on your property, thus reducing fertiliser costs. If you fertilise, less fertiliser is required than was required before, due to interactions of minerals with nitrogen and phosphorus inside the plants.
Scientific trials have shown that 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 shown reductions in calcium particle size and dramatic improvements in crop weight and health.
WATER FILTRATION, LIVESTOCK, AQUACULTURE, AND DISPOSAL
Users report fewer livestock losses after installing Hydrosmart on bore water that contains dangerous levels of salinity. Improvements in egg shell quality are also seen. Users have installed units to control odours in stock effluent ponds, and to eliminate struvite from drains. In piggery ponds, floating material has been flocculated without addition of flocculant.
In aquaculture Barramundi health and weight has been improved, water turnover time reduced, and filter replacement period doubled, thus halving cost and maintenance time. Beneficial effects on magnesium levels in muscles of racing animals and breeding animals have been recorded.
Bore Water Treatment Systems and How Hydrosmart Helps
- Water quality issues: Bore water can contain high levels of minerals and salts, which can accumulate in the irrigation system over time and cause damage and lead to reduced water flow and pressure, which can affect the system’s efficiency and performance.
- Corrosion and rust: Bore water can also contain high levels of iron and other minerals. corrosion and rust in the irrigation system. This can lead to leaks and other damage to the system which can impact its longevity and performance.
- Clogging: Bore water can contain sediment, minerals and other debris that can clog the irrigation system, particularly the nozzles and filters. This can reduce the system’s efficiency and performance and may require regular maintenance and cleaning. Minerals like Calcium and Magnesium can oxidise and form a solid scale which can cause blockage of pipework, sieves and drop hoses.
- Water scarcity: In some areas of Australia, bore water may be the only available source of irrigation water. However, bore water supplies can be limited, particularly during periods of drought or when other users are also drawing from the same aquifer. This can impact the availability and reliability of the irrigation system.
- Water regulations: In some areas of Australia, water use is subject to strict regulations and allocations. Farmers may need to obtain permits or licenses to use bore water for irrigation and may be subject to restrictions on the amount and timing of water use. This can impact the productivity and profitability of the farming operation and may require careful management of the irrigation system.
- High salt content: Bore water can have a high concentration of salts, which can accumulate in the soil and negatively affect plant growth. This can lead to reduced yields and poor crop quality.
- Contamination: Bore water can become contaminated with chemicals, heavy metals, or other pollutants, which can be harmful to crops and the environment. This can also lead to health risks for people who consume the crops.
- pH imbalance: Bore water can have a high or low pH, which can affect the availability of nutrients to plants. This can lead to nutrient deficiencies or toxicities, which can negatively impact plant growth and yield.
- Algal blooms: Bore water can sometimes contain nutrients that promote the growth of algae. This can cause irrigation systems to clog, reduce the efficiency of the system, and negatively impact water quality.
Overall, the problems caused by mineralised bore water can have significant economic and environmental impacts and it is important for farmers and businesses to carefully monitor and manage their water sources to minimize these issues. This can be done through proper bore water treatment systems.
Centre Pivots and How Hydrosmart Makes Use of Them
A center pivot irrigator, also known as a centre pivot irrigation system, is a method of irrigation commonly used in agriculture to water large fields or crops. It consists of a central pivot point from which a long, rotating arm extends outward, resembling the shape of a large sprinkler or a radial spoke. This arm is supported by a series of towers or wheeled structures that move along a circular path.
The center pivot irrigator is usually installed in the center of a field, and as it rotates around the pivot point, it distributes water to the surrounding area through sprinklers or spray nozzles mounted on the arm. The water source is typically provided through a pipe or hose connected to the pivot point, and water is pumped from a well, canal, or other water source.
The main advantage of a centre pivot irrigation system is its ability to efficiently water large areas of land with minimal labor. It can cover a circular or semi-circular area of several acres to several hundred acres, depending on the size of the system. The rotation of the pivot arm allows for uniform water distribution, ensuring that crops receive adequate moisture for growth.
Center pivot irrigators are often equipped with sensors and control systems that monitor soil moisture levels and weather conditions. This helps optimize irrigation scheduling and prevent overwatering or underwatering. Additionally, some advanced systems can be remotely controlled and monitored using computer software or mobile applications.
Overall, centre pivot irrigation is a widely used and effective method for irrigating large agricultural fields, increasing crop yields, and conserving water resources.
Does bore water damage center pivots?
Bore water, also known as groundwater extracted from wells or boreholes, can potentially cause damage to center pivot irrigators if certain conditions are not properly addressed. The quality of bore water can vary significantly depending on the location and geology of the aquifer from which it is sourced.
Bore water contains high levels of minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese, as well as other contaminants like sediments or dissolved salts. If the water has excessive mineral content or high salinity, it can lead to the accumulation of mineral deposits on the irrigation equipment, including the sprinklers, nozzles, and pipelines. These deposits can obstruct the flow of water, reduce system efficiency, and potentially cause clogging or blockages.
Bore water with high acidity or alkalinity also is corrosive to the metal components of the center pivot system, including pipes, connectors, and sprinkler heads. Over time, this can lead to corrosion and deterioration of the equipment, affecting its performance and lifespan.
Hydrosmart technology will mitigate damage to Centre Pivot systems from bore water.
Technology such as Hydrosmart can stop corrosion, salinity, scale build up issues from occurring in a electronic no waste stream manner. By addressing water quality concerns and implementing appropriate measures, it is possible to minimize the potential damage that bore water may cause to centre pivot irrigators and ensure the longevity and efficient operation of the irrigation system.
