Magnetic water technology keeps industry flowing
Posted on November 24, 2025
DELTAwater solutions’ custom-designed, bore water treatment systems are a common sight across the Australian landscape.
Large-scale irrigators, wineries, broadacre cropping, thoroughbred horse studs and fruit and vegetable farms are among the industries using DELTAwater solutions water conditioning systems to stop water problems such as leaf burn, calcium scale build-up and salinity build-up in soils.
Alex and Dianne Panov founded DELTAwater solutions in Newcastle in 1993 and are leading specialists in designing and manufacturing water treatment conditioners that are power, maintenance and chemical free and treat unlimited volumes of water.
Through extensive research and development and in-field experience over more than three decades, DELTAwater solutions products treat specific water issues in water with extremely high mineral content.
Understanding people’s water problems before recommending a solution through their water testing and advisory service is the key to the long-term success of DELTAwater, says agent John Powderly from Powderly’s Pumping & Irrigation Services in Young, NSW.
John is part of a large DELTAwater solutions agent network, and has been selling their products for 32 years.
“What really sets them apart is the fact they always test the water before they recommend one of their magnetic conditioners,” John says.
“If you don’t follow this path of purchasing from a company who has a thorough understanding of water and irrigation systems and different water types, you could end up with any quality of water conditioner and it’s not going to work.”
Queensland lime and passionfruit grower Phil Oliver says he would have gone out of business years ago due to poor quality bore water if it hadn’t been for DELTAwater solutions.
“People always ask why I’ve got so many limes, and I tell them we wouldn’t be here without the DELTAwater conditioner.
“From when we first installed it, we’ve consistently had four times the amount of produce,” Phil says.
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.
