WATERSOLV™ AGRICULTURE PROGRAM
Treat the water. Restore the soil. Grow with less resistance.
WaterSOLV™ Agriculture is HCT’s testing-driven program for irrigation water quality, soil condition, and root-zone performance. It conditions the water at the source, releases bound minerals and nutrition in the soil, and supports the crop, so hard water, bicarbonates, sodium, chloride, and biological buildup stop limiting the field.
Est. 2015 · 3M+ acres serviced · Testing before treatment · OMRI-listed option · NSF/ANSI 60 certified BC
WHAT IS THE PROGRAM?
One program for the whole water-soil-plant system, not a single product.
The symptoms growers bring to HCT share one cause: irrigation water carries minerals, salts, and biology that bind in the lines, the soil, and the root zone with every cycle. WaterSOLV™ Agriculture treats that as one system. Core chemistry is injected through the irrigation water so every cycle conditions the water, strips bound minerals from the soil, and keeps nutrition plant-available. Targeted products handle biology, compromised layers, and crop support. Testing decides what goes where.
Evaporative crystals of strong acids are not redissolved by strong acids; WaterSOLV keeps calcium and magnesium soluble instead.

WATER SOURCE
Hard water, bicarbonates, sodium, chloride, and biology arrive with every irrigation.

IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Scale and biofilm narrow emitters and lines; injection happens here.

Oxygen, biology, and nutrient availability decide how roots perform.

WHAT IT IS BUILT TO SOLVE
The problems usually start in the water and show up in the field.
Each of these has its own HCT University page. Start with the one that looks like your field.
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
Three layers of treatment. One irrigation system carries most of it.
Water is conditioned first, because every irrigation cycle either corrects the soil or adds to the problem. Soil correction follows through the same water, with topical treatment where layers are compromised. Plant support comes last.
01 · WATER & SYSTEM TREATMENT
Condition the irrigation water at the source
Curative (or Curative Organic for organic production) is injected through the irrigation system, typically with the FS-1 chemigation platform, so dissolved minerals stay soluble instead of re-binding as scale in lines and soil. BC is added where biofilm or low-oxygen water is part of the problem.
Products: Curative · Curative Organic · BC · FS-1

02 · SOIL & ROOT-ZONE CORRECTION
Release what is bound and open the profile
The same treated water strips bound minerals and salts from the soil so pore space, infiltration, and oxygen return and locked nutrition becomes plant-available. pHix is applied topically where surface or confining layers are compromised; BC restores oxygen in black-layer conditions.

03 · PLANT SUPPORT & RECOVERY
Support the crop once the system can deliver
Grow is the support product within a staged program, used for recovery, nutrient mobility, and stronger crop response once the core water and soil issues are being addressed.

CROP RESPONSE
Measured, not assumed: better infiltration and wetting depth, more plant-available nutrition, cleaner lines, an oxygenated root zone, and more consistent field response, confirmed by retesting.
MEET THE PRODUCTS
Four products. Each has one job in the program.
Enough to understand where each one fits. The product pages carry the detail.
CORE CORRECTION · INJECTED
WaterSOLV™ Curative
Conditions irrigation water so calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate stay soluble, strips bound minerals and salts from the soil, and keeps nutrition plant-available.
Applied Injected through irrigation (chemigation)
Best fit Bicarbonates, hard water, slow infiltration, sodium and chloride, bound nutrition
OXIDATIVE REMEDIATION · INJECTED
WaterSOLV™ BC
Catalyzed hydrogen peroxide chemistry that disrupts biofilm and biological buildup, supports oxygen in the root zone, and biodegrades to oxygen and water. NSF/ANSI 60 certified, non-corrosive.
Applied Injected through irrigation, often alongside Curative
Best fit Black layer, anaerobic conditions, biofilm, low-oxygen source water
TARGETED RESPONSE · TOPICAL
WaterSOLV™ pHix
A faster, targeted response for compromised surface layers: fills pore space, breaks down constraining material, and restores infiltration depth where injection alone is not reaching.
Applied Topical, paired with flushing volume and timing
Best fit Collection areas, surface sealing, confining layers, calcification
PERFORMANCE SUPPORT · STAGED
WaterSOLV™ Grow
The support product within a staged program, used once correction is underway for recovery, nutrient mobility, and stronger, more consistent crop response.
Applied Added to a program in progress, not a starting point
Best fit Low vigor, uneven response, recovery after stress
WHY IT IS DIFFERENT
What changes when you stop treating symptoms and start treating the system.
These are the differences HCT documents on its own technical pages. Each row links to the page that explains it.
CONVENTIONAL APPROACH
WATERSOLV™ PROGRAM
TESTING & PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
Test first. Then build the program.
Legacy Analytical runs your soil against your own irrigation water (4:1 ratio, 72-hour soak), so the program is sized from what the field is actually doing.
01
Evaluate
Irrigation Water Analysis, Bac T, Available Soil Nutrition, and Total Soil Digestion where reserves matter.
02
Analyze
Results go into the Legacy Analytical Ledger with every parameter categorized by severity; site water, acreage, and depth are factored in.
03
Develop
Interpretations & Recommendations turn the ledger into a prescription: WaterSOLV products, ppm dosages, cost per acre, and a remediation timeline.
04
Implement
Injected through irrigation with FS-1 chemigation, topical where layers are compromised, with HCT field support.
05
Monitor
Retest with treated water (ASN – Treated Water) for a direct before-and-after comparison, then adjust the program.
PROVEN IN THE FIELD
What growers and trials have reported.

A season of continuous WaterSOLV injection and a reported 50% first-year yield increase.
WaterSOLV Curative at 3 ppm and BC at 1 ppm, prediluted and continuously injected with irrigation water. The orchard was compared against its own historical performance, with visible tree response at 6 and 9 months and soil pH, soil conductivity, and leaf micronutrients tracked alongside yield.

Higher Brix and color, lower defects, against three other programs.
Four treatment groups compared on total yield, paid yield, Brix, color, pH, and defects. WaterSOLV + Bactor Boost reported Brix 5.11 vs 4.85 control and color 24.75 vs 22.78, with lower green fruit, mold, and off-grade pressure.

YOUR NEXT STEP
Find the right WaterSOLV program for your operation.
Start with testing if you want the program sized from your own water and soil. Talk with HCT if you already know the problem and want to discuss product fit, delivery, and timing. Either way, you get a field-specific recommendation, not a generic one.
