Dynamo Water Benefits
As mentioned previously, Dynamo Water uses an innovative resonance technology to break down the clusters into small units, almost to a molecular level.
The results that can be easily observed:
On farms with clay and compacted soils, DW-treated water disappears into the ground as if it were sand, with no pooling on the surface or loss to evaporation.
Most important is the fact that DW-treated water is more readily absorbed by the roots, reducing the amount of water needed to achieve optimal plant hydration.
Similarly, more of the fertilizer in the water (fertigation) is absorbed, reducing fertilizer use significantly at the same time.
Dynamo Water´s benefits can be observed through Physical Observations and Biological Observations:
I. PHYSICAL OBSERVATIONS
A. Saved Water – Getting to “70% (or less) water”
1. Reduced Water Use – With water treated by the Dynamo Water unit, the water required to irrigate a given area is reduced by 30% on average, reducing use to 70% of prior use levels. A major Ag coop reduced the amount of water and fertilizer applied by a full 30% and still obtained an increase in production (yield) of more than 5%.
Item to measure: Using traditional techniques to measure plant hydration, it can easily be verified that plants irrigated with Dynamo Water continue fully hydrated with 30% less water applied. Indeed, they continue green and robust.
2. Reduced Energy Use – Energy used in pumping water is reduced proportionally with the pumping time. For example, with 30% less water pumped through the system, 30% less energy is consumed.
Item to measure: Pumping time is a good measure of both water and energy use. The electric bill savings will show in the first month.
B. Using the “Saved Water”
In places where water is scarce and use is rationed, Dynamo Water can make water go farther. How? The unused water is now available to irrigate additional crops. In cases where a full third of the water is saved (33.3%), 50% more land can be irrigated, as shown in the calculation attached at the end of this page!
C. Fertilizer Savings
The uptake of fertilizers increases proportionally with the greater uptake of the treated water by plants, making it mandatory to reduce the amount of fertilizer applied by 30%. Otherwise, you will over-fertilize and “burn” the plants.
Item to measure: Using normal procedures to monitor plant nutrition, you can verify that, after a 30% reduction in fertilizer, your plants continue fully nourished.
D. Mitigation of mineral deposits associated with hard-water
1. Scaling. The problem of mineral buildup (“scaling”) on emitters and sprinklers of irrigation systems is widespread but is completely resolved with the use of a Dynamo Water unit. Not only does mineral buildup ceases, but also any previously accumulated mineral deposits soon are washed away. In fact, after installation of the unit and before beginning to irrigate crops, it is mandatory to flush the pipes of an existing irrigation system to purge accumulated deposits. The flush will produce gray water (due to the release of accumulated minerals) and should continue until the water is 100% clear. Usually, this takes one to two hours. Then, the system is ready to be used again to irrigate crops.
Items to observe:
a. Water Color – during Pipe Flush. After installing a DW unit, it is mandatory to flush the pipes. As you do so, you can observe the gray color of the water during the purge process.
b. No mineral buildup. After the installation of the unit, emitters or sprinklers remain clean with no mineral buildup. There is no longer any need to remove and clean them periodically.
2. Soil Salinity. In the same way that water treated by the Dynamo Water unit releases accumulated mineral deposits in the pipes of an irrigation system, treated water will loosen and eliminate mineral deposits in soil (i.e., notorious “salt rings”). The salt rings will begin to disappear.
Item to observe: “Before” and “After” photos can be taken of places where there are salt rings on the surface of the ground. In a short time, the salt rings will attenuate and begin to disappear.
E. Improved Fluidity & Percolation
1. Greater Fluidity.
a. Water flow. Water treated with a Dynamo Water unit is literally more fluid, moving with less resistance through the pipes, tubes, and nozzles of an irrigation system. With central pivot systems especially, one can measure a slight drop in water pressure.
Item to measure: Measure the internal water pressure of the irrigation system before, then after installation of the unit. If the system previously operated at, say, 40 psi, it may drop to, say, 35 psi, due to the improved water flow. This reflects the fact that smaller water clusters of the treated are more fluid and pass more readily through the pipes and nozzles.
b. Water throw. Treated water, being in smaller particles flows through the nozzles with less resistance and more speed. As a result, the water is “thrown” farther.
Item to measure: Measure and compare the throw distance. Under identical water pressures, measure the distance to the farthest spot reached from the sprinkler, using untreated and treated water. There is a clear difference.
2. Faster Percolation. As a result of having smaller water clusters, the treated water percolates much faster into the soil, even hard clay.
Item to observe: There is no pooling of water on the ground, even with clay soil.
Item to measure: The item to measure and compare is percolation time of untreated and treated water. This can be done follow standard water percolation testing procedures.
II. BIOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS [i.e., items that can take 1 to 3 months to observe]
A. Crop yields. Despite the cuts in water and fertilizer use, crop yields are not negatively impacted and, in many cases, actually increase with Dynamo Water when irrigating with treated water.
Item to measure: Traditional methods can be used for tabulating and comparing crop yields on similar plots, irrigated with untreated water and treated water, respectively.
B. Enhanced “Bio-accessibility” to water and nutrients.
1. Less fertilizer. Since the treated water in which the fertilizer is dissolved, is more readily absorbed by a plant’s roots, the fertilizer therein is also captured with greater efficiency, with less fertilizer lost and left to pollute the groundwater and aquifer. Warning: As a result of the higher absorption rate of treated water and thus the fertilizer dissolved in the treated water, it is mandatory to reduce the amount of fertilizer used by at least 25% or the plants may be burned by getting too much fertilizer.
Item to measure: After reducing fertilizer by at least 25%, farmers can verify that their crop yields are not reduced, but generally increase as stated in item II: A., above.
2. Bigger plants. Users of the Dynamo Water unit comment that their fruit trees and crops appear to grow faster and bigger. A citrus grower reported that his newest grove of trees, planted 3 years before, looked more like a grove of 4 to 5 year-old trees.
Item to measure: One can simply measure and compare the height and diameter of plants, whether seasonal crops or perennials, comparing plants grown with untreated and treated water.
