Hard Water Treatment: What is Hard and Soft Water? Have you ever wondered what the terms “hard water” and “soft water” mean? Essentially, the hardness of water refers to its mineral content. Many still debate whether hard or soft water is best for Australians to drink. The visible effects and, more importantly, the negative impacts…
Effective water conditioning treatment is about more than just improving water quality and protecting irrigation infrastructure. The minerals present in untreated water are highly beneficial to crops and turf and can improve plant growth, while also reducing overall input costs. As global supply chains continue their slow recovery after the pandemic, innovative Hydrosmart water treatment…
The Heap-Leach mining industry is heavily dependent on quality water supply because compromised water quality negatively impacts productivity. The treatment of water can significantly drive-up operating costs, contending with scale removal, inconsistent water flow and the costs of chemicals to maintain irrigation systems. Fortunately, Hydrosmart’s revolutionary chemical free water treatment technology provides solutions to all…
For years, one of the best ways to treat hard water in a home or business was to use salt-based water softeners. While salt water hard water treatment using salt-based softeners has its advantages, it does not provide the versatility that comes with modern, salt free hard water scale remover units. At Hydrosmart, we are…
At Hydrosmart, we believe that effective hard water treatment is all about using a system which efficiently cleans water without requiring additional chemicals. For best results in large scale settings, a water treatment system must be easy to maintain, protect irrigation infrastructure and have as minimal an impact on the environment as possible. Our systems…
As the quality of bore water and other water sources become increasingly compromised, due to soil salinity and excessive mineralisation, Australians are faced with increasing water corrosion. This can lead to the deterioration of water pipe infrastructure and compromise the safety of the water we use for drinking, raising animals and growing crops. Read on…
Modern water treatment techniques have evolved to meet the rising demand for cleaner, safer water in all aspects of Australian life. From industry and agriculture to local councils and residential spaces, the demand for quality water remains as high as ever. Oxidation-reduction and electrolysis are techniques which have proven their effectiveness in treating highly mineralised…
Algae and biofilm on the surface of your pool or water storage, are usually a sign that the health of your water is compromised. Improper water filtration, highly mineralised water and other factors can lead to uncontrolled algae growth, which can pose health hazards to humans, crops, and livestock. Read on to find out how…
Here at Hydrosmart, we have years of experience providing innovative, scientific solutions for water treatment to Australia’s livestock industry. The importance of water to livestock management cannot be overstated, as this critical element determines the health and well-being of animals, and affects their feed conversion, which is a measure of the efficiency of livestock feed.…
According to National Geographic, Australia is on the brink of a freshwater crisis as unreliable rainfall, accelerating climate change and the challenges of supplying booming urban spaces, take their toll. River flows are expected to drop by 10-25% over the next decades, while Australia’s need for usable water for farming and industry continues to rise.…
