DELTAwater solutions transforms water supplies in Kenya
Our Australian designed and manufactured water treatment system has transformed a simple bar of soap that wouldn’t lather into tubs overflowing with bubbles in a small town in Kenya.
We have manufactured and dispatched our first batch of customised magnetic water conditioners to the East African country, with a second batch in production.
Since 1993 DELTAwater solutions has been designing and manufacturing magnetic water conditioners for agriculture, mining and domestic water treatment.
Growing water demand where water is scarce is a notable challenge in Kenya. With a population of 56 million, 19 million Kenyans lack access to basic water and 36 million lack access to a safe toilet.
Issak Haji from the Aludha Construction Company, based in Nairobi, contacted us looking for a solution for coastal communities where he works.
Poor quality bore water creates problems such as blocked toilets and pipes caused by calcium scale build-up. Also, women are unable to get a lather from the soap they use to wash clothes. Simple things we take for granted here in Australia.
Households have access to a limited supply of bore water that is pumped into a town tank before being pumped into a tanker that delivers it to households.
After analysing water test results, DELTAwater solutions dispatched five Grade 35 heavy duty conditioners to treat the water as it’s pumped out of the bore into the town tank.

After analysing water test results, we sent over five Grade 35 heavy duty conditioners to treat the water as it’s pumped out of the bore into the town tank.
They sent a video the day after they installed their first conditioner, and we were absolutely delighted to see the results. WATCH this video on our YouTube channel, make sure you follow us so you can stay updated when we release new videos.
“They sent a video the day after they installed their first DELTAwater conditioner, and we were absolutely delighted to see the results,” Dianne says. “Issak says the women are very happy because it’s the first time they’ve been able to get their soap to foam.
“We now have a new and very enthusiastic DELTAwater solutions agent in Nairobi who is very excited by how quickly they experienced a change in their water. He believes every town needs one.”
DELTAwater solutions is now manufacturing a Grade 50 Heavy Duty unit for inland water supplies which have even higher levels of mineral content.
“It is an extremely humbling experience to work with customers who face such big challenges with water, and highlights that we should never take a secure, quality water supply for granted,” Dianne says.
“We are pleased to be able to provide a long-term solution that doesn’t incur ongoing, extra costs for these small communities.”
Pioneering magnetic water treatment
DELTAwater solutions has been manufacturing magnetic water treatment conditioners in Newcastle since 1993.
Through in-field testing and ongoing research and development, we have designed a customised range of products for specific water supply needs.
Advantages of a DELTAwater solutions water treatment system include:
- No power, no chemicals, no batteries and no ongoing maintenance.
- The DELTAwater solutions system uses stronger magnets to treat water with extremely high mineral content. The new Grade 50 units in production for Kenya use the strongest magnets available.
- DELTAwater water treatment systems are designed for tough conditions and don’t require a cover or protection from the elements to work.
- DELTAwater conditions can also be installed at any angle and treat unlimited volumes of water.
