Reliable system used by councils

-

LONGREACH Council uses Hydrosmart to keep its sports lawns green, and locals to keep their gardens alive.

In use on numerous school and council ovals and parks around Australia, Hydrosmart makes water high in minerals and salts into green grass and gardens instead of brown struggling patchy turf.

Hydrosmart presented a talk to station holders keen to keep lawns and gardens going (back in 2015) at Kenya Station, out of Longreach, along with Tom Wyattt from ABC Radio’s gardening show.

Longreach Council recently acquired two units to treat a salty bore supply used to water its sports ovals for just the same reason.

Mataranka Primary and Mt Isa Primary School, Strathalby­n School WA, Ararat, Peterborou­gh, Roxby, Sturt and Walkervill­e Councils in SA all have applied the electronic, completely sustainabl­e water technology to impact salty water used on ovals with impressive long-term results.

Results have been consistent over the 20 years of applicatio­ns, with some quite startling growth outcomes and turnaround­s reported by users.

The Hydrosmart website has a list of testimonia­ls, with some users like Ashby and Sons graziers reporting using water at salt levels 7000 ppm and seeing lucerne growth pick up immediatel­y after applying a Hydrosmart to their water line.

Many councils use Hydrosmart – some for more than 15 years.

The one system purchased years ago is still delivering great growth outcomes all these years later.

Many remote homesteads and farms also use the approach, and those with similar issues report similar fantastic results.

The cost of just $10 to power the system annually makes it a cheap way to effectivel­y fix bad water problems.
