For the modern Australian farmer, water isn’t just a resource—it’s the lifeblood of the operation. However, between unpredictable rainfall, rising chemical costs, and the constant battle against hard water and algae, managing that water can feel like an uphill struggle.
This is where IGS Water (Intelli Global Solutions) is changing the game. By blending cutting-edge physics with smart IoT (Internet of Things) technology, they aren’t just moving water; they are improving it.
In this blog, we explore the core technologies offered by IGS Water and why they are becoming a staple for sustainable agriculture.
1. The Power of the Tiny: Nanobubble Technology
The “star of the show” at IGS Water is Nanobubble Technology. While standard aeration creates bubbles that float to the surface and pop, nanobubbles are 2,500 times smaller than a grain of salt.
Why does size matter?
- Stay Submerged: Because they are so small, nanobubbles don’t float. They remain suspended in the water for months, acting like tiny oxygen batteries.
- Root Zone Oxygenation: When used in irrigation, this oxygen-rich water goes straight to the plant’s roots. This “supercharges” the root system, leading to faster growth and more resilient crops.
- Natural Cleaning: Nanobubbles help break down organic matter and suppress harmful pathogens, reducing the need for harsh chemical cleaners in your tanks and pipes.
2. Solving the “Hard Water” Headache
Many Australian farms rely on bore water, which is often “hard”—packed with calcium and magnesium that creates scale buildup. This scale chokes irrigation lines, ruins pumps, and prevents soil from absorbing nutrients effectively.
IGS Water provides Salt-Free Water Conditioners. Unlike traditional softeners that require constant salt refills, these systems use physical conditioning to change how minerals behave. The result?
- No more clogged drippers or sprinklers.
- Better soil penetration (water actually gets into the ground instead of sitting on top).
- Extended lifespan for your expensive pumping equipment.
3. Smart Management with IoT and Sensors
In 2011, IGS began with a focus on IoT sensor integration. Today, they combine their water treatment with “Smart Sensors.” These allow land managers to monitor water quality, flow, and system health in real-time from a cloud platform.
Imagine being able to check the oxygen levels or the mineral health of your irrigation dam from your phone while you’re at the other end of the property. That level of data-driven farming saves time, prevents “emergency” repairs, and ensures you aren’t wasting a single drop.
4. Sustainability: “A Life of Giving”
One of the most impressive aspects of IGS Water is their philosophy, which they call “A Life of Giving.” Their mission is rooted in the fact that billions of people worldwide lack clean water.
By helping farmers reduce their chemical reliance and energy consumption, IGS Water isn’t just helping a business’s bottom line—they are protecting the Australian landscape for the next generation. Their systems are designed to be:
- Energy Efficient: High-performance results with lower power draw.
- Eco-Friendly: Restoring natural balance to ponds and dams without toxic algaecides.
The Verdict
The days of just “pumping and praying” are over. Whether you are running a golf course, a commercial crop farm, or a small-scale hydroponic setup, the quality of your water is your biggest competitive advantage.
