Chemical and power free bore water treatment - Delta Water

Chemical and power free bore water treatment

Posted on April 12, 2025

Our chemical free Australian water treatment system is helping food producers boost yields, improve quality and keep production on track by solving bore water problems including iron and calcium-scale.

Bore water high in iron and calcium increases running costs for pumps and pipes through constant blockages and wear and tear on parts.

Through powerful magnetics, our 100% Australian company DELTAwater solutions customises a range of bore water treatment conditioners to remove existing iron and calcium-scale build-up and prevent further build-up.

Wineries, orchards, cattle properties, poultry farms, vegetable growers and centre pivot irrigators are among those who rely on a DELTAwater system for their bore water supply.

Torrens Valley Orchards in South Australia prides itself on quality and using the latest technology for cherry production. They turned to DELTAwater solutions to address high iron levels in their bore water which was causing blockages in pumps and pipes.

Within three months, the DELTAwater conditioner had fixed the problem.

South Australian irrigator Mark Pridham turned to DELTAwater solutions in 2009 to tackle bore water quality issues including calcium-scale, salinity and iron.

Mark grows potatoes, clover seed and lucerne. His confidence in the DELTA water treatment system over the past 16 years has led to him installing more units, with almost 100% of his land now irrigated with DELTA-treated bore water.

“We’re happy with the way things are going thanks to our DELTAwater conditioners,” he says.

Mark farms in SA’s mid-southeast, and his bore water has high levels of calcium carbonate, iron and sodium chloride. While crop rotations and added organic matter and clay helped counteract resulting soil problems, Mark turned to DELTAwater solutions as another way to boost his crops.

“Straight away the infiltration improved, the water was soaking in a lot better on our undulating country with less run off and rutting in the wheel tracks,” Mark says.

Despite summer temperatures up to 45 degrees and low rainfall seasons, Mark’s clover and potato crops watered by DELTA-treated water continue to return solid yields.

“With the DELTA units, I’ve grown spuds on marginal land with yields average to above average and really good quality. The water conditioners have also helped reduce the scale build-up in pipes and friction loss. We’ve broken the surface tension of the water so we’re getting very good penetration in the soil too.”
