Bore water solutions for ag industry

Australian company DELTAwater solutions will attend their 29^th AgQuip this year, having brought their water treatment conditioners to the field days since their first year in business.

Alex and Dianne Panov started DELTAwater solutions in Newcastle in 1993 and distribute their custom-designed products across Australia and overseas. They have only missed two events due to AgQuip being cancelled during COVID.

Remaining a family-owned company, they manufacture 100% Australian water treatment conditioners for agriculture, mining and government sectors as well as for homes and gardens.

NSW Riverina farmer Frank Cox’s crops and pastures have flourished since installing his DELTAwater treatment system on a 40-hectare irrigated lucerne paddock which was struggling due to highly saline bore water.

“My income turned around from $7000 a month to $30,000 a month. The DELTAwater conditioner has had a huge part in that,” Frank says.

DELTAwater conditioners are power, maintenance and chemical free and treat unlimited volumes of water. They overcome problems associated with salinity, scale build-up caused by calcium and magnesium, water hardness, iron, and corrosion.

In the WA Swan Valley Stephen Kraljevich installed a DELTAwater conditioner to fix problems caused by high sodium and chloride levels in his bore water at Twin Hill Wines. He has since installed more units.

The DELTA-treatment has increased grape yields with one area experiencing a jump from 600 to 900 cases. The water treatment system has also stopped leaf burn, resulted in improved penetration of water into the soil and reduced fertiliser use.

South-west Queensland trading cattle property owner Andrew Woodrow says his investment in a DELTAwater unit paid for itself within 10 months by solving cattle health problems caused by high chloride and sodium levels in his bore water.

Andrew says it took just four days to notice a difference in his cattle.  The bore water treatment system also solved a scouring problem that had arisen after they installed the bore.

Understanding people’s water problems before recommending a solution is the key to the long-term success of DELTAwater, says agent John Powderly from Powderly’s Pumping & Irrigation Services in Young, NSW. John has been an agent for 31 years.

“What really sets them apart is the fact they always test the water before they recommend one of their conditioners. If you don’t follow this path you could end up with any quality of water conditioner and it’s not going to work.”
