How Much Fertilizer is Already in Your Soil?

Conventional soil analysis may say you need fertilizer, but WaterSOLV™ Legacy Analytical Testing shows how you can specifically test for and access fertilizer accumulated in your soils, operating at basic pH values, with an average of 1/9th to 1/18th the amount
of acid you’ve been using.
Sulfuric acid and gypsum treatments may work for a while, but we know they’re not sustainable. Sulfuric acid leaves behind impenetrable complexed salts regardless of pH reduction, requiring more acid more gypsum year over year with worsening outcomes. When mixed with gypsum it forms drywall. We know the blowback gets worse every year through analytical soils testing, standing water, water runoff, nutrient deficiencies in tissue and SAP analyses. Is there a truly viable alternative that works long term and improves soil health over time?
For the first time in agrochemical history, data shows that there is another way. HCT’s innovative and in-depth analytical testing shows irrefutable evidence, scientifically based, empirically proven for years across the nation, in all forms of agronomy. Specifically prescribed WaterSOLV™ chemistries can access bound nutrients within soil, hard, toxic, biologically compromised water can be made valuable, sustainably.
What our customers are seeing:
no more standing water
no more localized dry and wet spots
even and quick infiltration, and never before achieved depths
reduced if not eliminated disease, algae, and pest pressure, including blight and sooty canker
reduced if not eliminated sodium toxicity, chlorosis, and black layer
ever increasing pore space, soil aeration, root depth
eliminate shells, sticking heads, plugged emitters, and more
WaterSOLV™ makes ionic salts, opening soil like never before converting fertilizer to available nutrition, and improving soil condition year over year, application after (reduced) application. While some small amount of initial burn or leaf drop can be noted, new growth is stronger and healthier than ever before. Through the process of soil remediation via water treatment, all WaterSOLV™ customers report less need for product as the soils become more functional due to liberating masses of fertilizer into consumable nutrition by the vegetation. No more flushing salts! Now you can actaully water to water without wasteful runoff and while maintaining soil moisture and harvesting nutrient reserves.
Your ROI is our priority:
Harvest more of what you have already paid for
Improve nutrient availability and uptake
Reduce sodium and chloride impact
Improve infiltration and pore space
Lower water demand
Reduce operational cost per acre
Increase growth rates and crop yields
These outcomes have been consistently observed across more than six years of applications throughout the United States in agriculture, turf, orchards, vineyards, irrigation systems, and even dryland farming environments.
Nutrients that are bound, complexed and not available for root uptake are converted to ions. This is evidenced, for example, when plants are observed to be pushing out toxicity through their foliage. Uneven coloring, growth, and more can all be treated, liberated and utilized in a matter of months at just +/- 3-6 ppm of WaterSOLV™ program based around revolutionary proprietary chemistry brought to you by the team at HCT.
Traditional agronomic practices dictate that lack of available nutrient uptake in tissue analyses often calls for more of those deficient nutrients to be added. Typically, lowering pH and adding gypsum is the go to. Typically adding calcium nitrate is the go-to. These additions provide a visual response, but short lived, and detrimental as the most the additives are not consumed by the plant and further accumulate in the soil. These practices and manipulating pH levels to see short lived and meager results show worsening results, visually and through data.
Smart chemistry now ionically satisfies nutrients on an ionic level to prevent nutrients from becoming bound in the first place, while melting complexed salts like butter in a microwave, that have held the health and power of your water and soil nutrients hostage this whole time!
Almost a Decade of Nationwide Empirical Results
Many operations experience a familiar cycle:
Apply more fertilizer
See a short-term response
Watch soils become increasingly tight
Add acids, calcium, sulfur, or gypsum
Repeat annually with increasing cost and declining efficiency
While these approaches may produce temporary effects, analytical data and field observations frequently show they do not adequately address the core issue of nutrient accessibility and soil chemistry interaction. In many cases, these corrective measures can intensify the underlying imbalance rather than resolve it.
A Total Soil Digestion (TSD) analysis provides a far broader understanding of:
Nutrient reserves
Accumulated salts
Bound fertility
Toxicity load
Mineral relationships
Water-soluble interactions
Our focus is not simply on nutrient percentages — but on increasing the volume of actual nutritional uptake observed in tissue and SAP analyses. Many growers discover they already possess significant fertility reserves in their soils — reserves that simply are not biologically or chemically available to the plant.
Average Yield Improvements Observed
18% — nuts
40% — citrus and grapes
50% — potatoes
70% — strawberries in severely challenged fields
In dryland wheat production, WaterSOLV™ systems have produced record protein levels while simultaneously helping suppress pigweed pressure.
Even highly challenging native clay soils in Phoenix have demonstrated successful banana and mango fruiting under direct sun exposure using treated water and soil management systems.
GETTING STARTED
The most compelling starting point is to see how much money is sitting in your soils, hindering your product, increasing your costs. The next is how much money you're not going to spend per acre and how much money you're going to save. You can browse countless testimonials on our Blog, YouTube Channel, and perhaps a client or two nearby your operations, with whom we'll be happy to connect you with.

Less water and real results. That’s the WaterSOLV™ Solution.
From turf to wells to agriculture, WaterSOLV™ is challenging conventional water and soil treatment practices and solving problems previously thought to be manageable at best.
HCT's purpose and privilege is providing sustainable and cost effective solutions to the chronic problems that plague soil health in the world of water and agronomy. We consistently reduce water demand 15% and increase crop yields 18% and more. When you treat water ‘well’ with WaterSOLV™ you increase efficiency, decrease costs, increase yield, improve pore space and add oxygen chemically. We can show you how to restore soil infiltration and soil operability just by treating your water and for substantially less than you're spending now.
