What is HydroBoost?

HydroBoost was born from one farmer’s determination to find a better way to operate his farm. After suffering chemical poisoning from traditional farming practices, he spent nine years and invested more than half a million dollars of his own funds developing a chemical-free approach to improving water quality.

The HydroBoost technology uses an electromagnetic frequency to stimulate water molecules. Electromagnetic and frequency-based water treatment technologies have been the subject of scientific investigation for several decades. Published studies and review papers have demonstrated that electromagnetic fields can influence mineral crystallization, reduce scaling, and modify calcium carbonate deposition under certain operating conditions. While the exact mechanisms continue to be researched, performance may vary depending on water chemistry and system design. Peer-reviewed literature supports the potential of electromagnetic treatment as a chemical-free approach to addressing a range of water-quality and scaling challenges.

There are four ways the HydroBoost technology affects water:

• Changes Mineral Structure (Flocculation): It causes dissolved minerals (like calcium and magnesium) to clump together into microscopic crystals. This stops them from sticking to pipes and surfaces as hard scale, allowing them to pass right through.
• Neutralizes Chemical Odors: The electromagnetic pulsing alters the behaviour of dissolved gases and compounds (like chlorine), diminishing their harsh taste and smell. 
• Improves the Water’s “Feel”: By altering the ionic charge and surface tension, the water feels “softer” on your skin and behaves more like naturally energized rainfall. 
• Breaks Down Bio-films: The energy signatures disrupt the environment for microorganisms and algae, reducing their ability to thrive or create sludge in the lines.

The HydroBoost technology runs on 24v and can be powered from a Solar array (with battery backup) or via 240v mains power. It is energy efficient drawing only 18watts for the HydroBoost Small (Sm) unit.

Over the last four years, the technology has been applied to;

• Reducing Iron from water supplies
• Reducing Chlorine and Calcium from town water supplies
• Reducing Nitrates in ground water supply
• Cleaning Effluent Ponds
• Improving Stock water
• Encouraging plant growth

How does it work?

HydroBoost utilises low-frequency electromagnetic technology designed to interact with water as it passes through the system. Published studies have reported that electromagnetic treatment may influence mineral behaviour, scaling, and other water characteristics. HydroBoost continues to evaluate the effects of its technology through independent testing, water analysis, and customer case studies.

What effect does it have on water?

Water loses its charge when it comes out of the ground and is ‘lifeless’. Many farmers will attest that rain water is 2 to 3 times the value of bore / surface water in terms of plant growth. HydroBoost to a degree emulates charged rainfall water. Studies have proven and shown that irrigating with HydroBoost water makes a difference to plant growth and soil biology.

In addition, HydroBoosted water helps reduce Chlorine, Iron, Manganese and a range of other chemicals all without chemicals, filters or additives.

HydroBoost is being used across Agricultural, Home and Commercial applications. The technology is easily installed on existing water lines, with a range of sizes available to fit pipes from 15mm to 300mm in diameter. If you are looking for an environmentally friendly technology, HydroBoost is one tool proving to make a difference.
