White stains on plants & walls
1. High Calcium or Magnesium (Hard Water) Appearance: Fine, chalky white film on leaves or soil surface after watering. Cause: When bore water evaporates, calcium carbonate or magnesium salts precipitate out and deposit on leaves. Test: Do a simple hardness or TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) test on the bore water. Fix: Use drip or sub-surface irrigation to keep water off foliage. Install a softening or acid-dosing system (e.g., dilute citric acid or CO₂ dosing to lower pH).

electromagnetic or electronic “descalers.”
After 30+ years involved with water treatment I have yet to see any measurable effect, why? 🔹 Lack of Conclusive Scientific Evidence There are no peer-reviewed, repeatable, double-blind studies demonstrating that electromagnetic or radio-frequency water conditioners consistently prevent or remove scale under controlled conditions. Most of what’s available are: Anecdotal reports (“customers say their kettles look cleaner”) Short-term lab observations that show minor, rever

Effective Borehole Cleaning Solutions for Iron Bacteria
Understanding Borehole Slime The “slime” found in bores is usually a gelatinous layer formed by iron-related bacteria (IRB) feeding on dissolved iron. As they oxidize iron, they create sticky deposits that clog screens, pumps, and pipework. Over time, these biofilms trap fine sediments and minerals, compounding the blockage. This buildup not only reduces yield but can also corrode metal components and affect the taste or clarity of the water. The Importance of Borehole Maint

Retic Not Working?
🔌 1. Check Power and Controller Settings Make sure the irrigation controller is powered on and the schedule is active. Try switching the controller to “manual start” to confirm it’s sending power. Listen for the bore pump — if it’s silent, power may not be reaching it. ✅ Tip: If the pump runs when switched on manually at the starter box but not from the controller, the issue is likely in the controller, wiring, or solenoid. ⚡ 2. Check the Pump Starter / Contactor Ensure
