Salt Softeners for Hydroponic Industry - Water and Wastewater
The CALCLEAR Computerised Water Conditioning System delivers commercial quantities of treated water that has all the properties of soft water and charged in such a way that it will progressively and permanently de-scale irrigation systems, drips, nozzles, pumps, heater elements and any other equipment connected to the treated water supply.
It works by neutralising the bonds that allow minerals contained in the water supply to combine with each other to form crystals or combine with any other mineral or surface.
This process results in all minerals contained in the flow being Recent scientific researchby Suntec Hydroponic Consultants, has proved beyond any doubt that CALCLEAR treated water provides significant growing benefits, particularly in Hydroponics which will lead to IMPROVED CROP QUALITY AND MARKETABILITY.
This appears to be due to the unique ability of the CALCLEAR system to …
- Breakdown all mineral crystals into a form readily taken up by the plants (particularly of Calcium).
- Flush out debris from root capillaries and xylem tissues that would otherwise block up and starve the plants of essential nutrients. (This appears to de-stress the plants and enable them to cope more easily with a fluctuating growing environment).
- Change undesirable minerals such as salt into a non crystalline form which no longer seem toxic to the plants.
- De-scale and keep scale free the entire water circulation and reduce algae formation
Thus far CALCLEAR has …
