We purchased an eighty acre conventionally operated market farm in the fall of 1995. We immediately ceased the use of chemicals, eliminating herbicides, pesticides and artificial fertilizers, which had been the convention until then. In the year of 1996, we harvested 3400 buckets of strawberries from seven acres. That winter following, we purchased Grander energy rods and installed them in our farm irrigation in the spring of 1997. That spring we also ploughed under four acres of the strawberries and replaced one acre. That summer, without the use of pesticides, herbicides and artificial fertilizers, having yet to naturally fertilize effectively, but now having Grander Living Water units, we were surprised at the harvest. Yes, on three acres of strawberry fields we gathered an identical quantity of strawberries...3400 ice cream pails. Three acres with Grander versus seven acres without.
How much of a difference did the Grander units make? I can't honestly say. Acknowledged is the fact that strawberry plants (or any other for that matter) would fare much better without the chemicals present. Acknowledged is the fact that some of those fields we had ploughed under were finishing their peak performance. Acknowledged is the fact that we replaced one older field with a new one. However, to still get the same quantity of berries from seven acres as we did from three was quite unexpected and we can't help but believe that Grander made a difference, if not a rather significant one.
I must also mention here that while we had the units on the outside of the irrigation pipes during that time, we have recently devised a way to install them internally. This, we believe, should increase the efficiency considerably.
We certainly see the Living Water making a difference in other areas.
Examples:
My wife's fingers were constantly cracked for fourteen years, ever since we operated a motel and used harsh laundry detergents. Nothing cured the problem, not until we installed Grander in our home. Then within weeks, her fingers healed, and have remained so for 5 years now.
Our septic tank cleared up within a year, with far less odour.
The animals at our farm drink considerably more water than they did before Grander was installed, and I think we do too. This leads me to believe that the main cause of people not drinking enough water is simply because water is not so pleasant or appealing. Not drinking enough water leads to a host of problems, many of which are serious or potentially so. If Grander changes that, it is worth it for that alone. Today, several report enjoying their water and drinking more.
Yes, we took the Grander Living Water units mostly by faith in 1996/1997, having little knowledge of subtle energies. Nor were we satisfactorily informed by Grander literature at the time. As it turns out, we are very pleased with the results, notwithstanding. We now not only use but also sell Grander, with confidence and anticipation of bringing satisfactory and pleasing results to others in so many ways.

An update (2004):
At the house, there was a half-inch Grander on-line
unit (besides rods at the source). We found out at the Grander conference in
Austria in the spring that one should never install a unit smaller than
the water line. We replaced the half inch with a three-quarter inch and what
a
difference!
We removed the water softener, finding the water even softer without it now
that we have the larger Grander unit. The dishes come out cleaner, glasses
are clear, and the water feels that much better.
