Experience in water solutions for 25 years

Alex and Dianne Panov, who both grew up on the land and had agricultural-based careers, founded Deltawater more than 25 years ago to address common water quality problems such as salinity, scale, iron and corrosion.

One of Delta's longest-running agents is John Powderly.

Born and bred in Young, NSW, and involved in the water industry his whole working life, John said he is proud to have worked with Deltawater solutions since the water treatment business first started.

"Anyone who comes to us with their bore water problems, whether it be irrigation on a paddock scale or in their home garden, we tell them they need a Deltawater conditioner," he said.

Mr Powderly runs the family business Powderly's Pumping and Irrigation out of Young, an area renowned for its cherries and grapes.

Problems growers face include salty bore water and salt build-up in soils.

"Droughts keep coming and going and rural communities have become more and more reliant on bore water," he said.

"Because it's so salty and a lot of the time not useable, we really need a good quality water conditioner for our customers. Deltawater solutions has filled that spot admirably."

Mr Powderly said one thing he prides himself on is that he is part of a family-owned and run business.

This is one of the reasons he loves working with Deltawater solutions.

"Deltawater solutions is family owned, and this is reflected in the level of service they provide," he said.

"The water testing service Delta offers is the key to the success of their water treatment products.

"This really sets them apart; the fact they always test the water before they recommend a particular conditioner.

"If you don't follow this path you could end up with any quality of water conditioner and it's not going to work.

"It's important to us that our customers get the right treatment solution for their water and soil problems.

"This is why we always go with the Delta and have so much success.

"We've got quite a few Deltas on grapes and they're getting better growth, better coloured leaves, better production of fruit - better all round.

"Plus they're noticing less salt buildup in their soils."

Home gardens in Young also get the Delta treatment, particularly during drought when reliance on bore water supplies increases.
