DELTA water treatment for stock, irrigation and horticulture

One thing stock, irrigation and horticulture farmers have in common is the need for high quality bore water. Another thing that many also have in common is that they’ve turned to 100% Australian water treatment company DELTAwater solutions to keep their businesses on track.

North Queensland lime orchardist Phil Oliver says his family wouldn’t be farming without the DELTA, which they have installed on their 600-tree Tahitian lime orchard at Biboohra, north of Mareeba, as well as on their household water supply.

People call me and ask why I’ve got so many limes and I tell them we wouldn’t be here without the DELTA. I’ll never disconnect it, no way. Since we put our DELTA on we’ve consistently had four times the amount of produce.

Then there’s Helidon Lucerne grower Robert Hogan who relies heavily on his bore water. He installed a DELTA bore water treatment system in 2015 and is now harvesting around 4000 extra bales every year.

“The DELTA has made a hell of a difference here,” Robert says. “Over the whole farm we’ve gone from only doing 17-20 bales a paddock to around 40 bales. That equates to around 4000 extra bales a year due to the DELTA.”

WA market gardener Ben Tran says the DELTA technology has resulted in higher, stronger plants with better yields at the Bullsbrook property he runs with his parents.

Ben, dad Tran and mum Ma watched their capsicum crop climb for the sky after installing a DELTA water treatment system on their bore irrigation supply. The yield climbed too.

The family turned to DELTA technology to counteract the toll their ground water, with its high levels of sodium and chloride, was taking on plant growth and yield on their 65-hectare property.

If you have a stronger plant, you can get a higher plant.  DELTA added another 30 centimetres of growth to our plants and our capsicum yield was a lot more than before the DELTA.

They also use DELTA-treated water on their strawberries, tomatoes, eggplants and watermelons.

“DELTA’s technology has certainly worked for us, that’s for sure.”
