The #1 Soil Wetting Agent – now for Residential Lawns and Gardens
Aqua-Drive is the leading soil wetting agent in western agriculture—saving water for more than 20 years. Now formulated for residential lawns and gardens. Aqua-Drive helps homeowners save water. It enables soils to absorb more water faster with less runoff. Helps water penetrate more deeply and widely in chronic dry patches of lawns and gardens.
BLOCK POLYMER SURFACTANT
Aqua-Drive’s advanced chemistry treats both the soil and water to drive moisture into hard-to-wet soils.
TWO MODES OF ACTION
Reduces surface tension of water droplets as much as 60%. Bonds to hydrophobic soil colloids, dispersing water down and across the root zone.
VIRTUALLY ELIMINATES RUNOFF
Enables water to soak into soil more quickly. Prevents pooling or run-off into storm drains.
SAVES MORE WATER
A single treatment lasts 45-60 days. Western farmers irrigate less by using Aqua Drive.
CUTS WATER BILLS
Reduces water use on lawns and gardens. Using less water helps homeowners save time and money.
Hydrophobic soils repel water instead of absorbing it. Soil particles are coated with waxy residues. When water is applied to these soils, it beads up, runs off or pools on top of the soil.
Hydrophobic soils are caused by extreme heat from wildfires, inconsistent/poor irrigation practices, certain pesticides and herbicides, and over-use of mulch and compost. Signs of hydrophobic soils include: patchy lawns with chronic dry spots, stress in grass and garden plants, runoff of rainfall and sprinkler water, increased top soil erosion.
Soil wetting agents, such as Aqua-Drive are specially formulated to reduce surface tension and contact angle of water. Water penetrates more quickly, and deeply across the root zone.
