My names are Ernest Simeoni and I am a small hobby farmer in the outskirts of Nairobi where I grow bananas, pawpaws and tomatoes. I drilled a borehole on the farm with the intention of using the water for irrigation purposes for my crops.

After growing the crops for some time I started noticing the plants were affected by leaf burn to an extent that they were dying despite sufficient amounts of water and nutrients. After a struggle to find out what was the cause, I came to understand that the problem was related to my borehole water which was hard water.

After researching on the internet I came across Carefree water conditioners, which are made in Australia. I contacted the company for more information and I was convinced from the information I got from them. I took a high risk and imported one unit and installed it on my borehole.

After introducing carefree to a few of my friends and found that we were getting some very positive results, I then decided to take on the distributorship for Carefree in Kenya.
