Water Quality is becoming a topic close to everyone’s heart. It is increasingly being discussed amongst many parts of society. HydroBoost, a technology developed in New Zealand by Kiwi’s, is one solution that can help make a difference to our water, land and well being. The best part of this technology is that it has a low environmental footprint. It only needs an average of 35 watts of power and does not require any chemicals or additives which may have adverse effects on the environment and Eco systems.

The HydroBoost – Clean technology is being used to clean Irrigation Storage Ponds, Effluent Ponds, stock water troughs. In addition it is being used for Lifestyle/Residential water connections to help improve water quality and water taste.

Agriculture
The technology can reduce iron and manganese in a water supply.
Installation of a treatment unit improves the quality of the water, taking the red-brown water (high in iron) or black-brown water (high in manganese) to crystal clear, safe for use without the risk of staining. In some cases, the technology can potentially unclog old line, extend the life expectancy of valves, pipes and spray equipment.

Example 1
Farmers are installing HydroBoost units into pivot irrigators to help mitigate Iron and Manganese damage to the pivot pipes and nozzles.

Example 2
A farmer had problems with his stock water being high in Iron and Manganese. A small HydroBoost unit was installed on his stock well with great results.

Lifestyle / Residential
The benefits for owners is best understood by viewing the feedback from our customers.

Example 3
The customer had problems with high iron and manganese in water on their farm. When the HydroBoost was installed, water was much better, vegetables took off and stock troughs were cleaner.

Example 4
In North Canterbury, this lifestyle farmer had terrible water. After installing the HydroBoost unit their water tasted better, their forest garden took off and the animals enjoyed drinking the water.

Example 5
In Timaru, one of our customers had a reality check when a friends son exclaimed that their, “Their water tasted terrible”. They investigated HydroBoost and decided that yes, HydroBoost delivered better quality water with other benefits.

For horticulture, (orchards and vineyards), the technology can potentially increase the size of produce and extend the shelf life of harvested product.
