WaterSOLV Turf Program
Smarter Water & Soil Management for Healthier Turf
Every turf professional knows: when water quality and soil chemistry get out of balance, everything else suffers - growth slows, inputs are wasted, and turf health declines.
The WaterSOLV™ Turf Program is designed to correct that balance by transforming bound minerals into rehydratable nutrients - all while cutting back on chemical, physical, and watering inputs.
THE CHALLENGE
HCT simplifies the complexity of water and soil chemistry by organizing it into key analytical groups: minerals, metals, microbes, sodium, and water - along with influential gases such as bicarbonates, chlorides, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Traditional turf management often relies on pH suppression and gypsum applications to promote calcium mobility. However, most soils already contain significant calcium and sulfate levels. This approach can inadvertently reduce pore space, restrict infiltration, and create nutrient toxicity, as documented in USDA/NCRS and UC Davis studies.
WaterSOLV employs a chemical and biological approach that converts bound minerals into soluble, plant-available nutrients, thereby mitigating sodium’s negative effects on soil structure.
Field data consistently show over 15% improvement in turf vitality and water infiltration, with reduced dependence on acids, gypsum, and other corrective inputs.
By addressing the root causes, not just the symptoms, HCT delivers measurable, sustainable improvements in turf performance and soil health.
TREATMENT OVERVIEW
Water and soil share the same chemistry. We look at both to understand nutrient cations, essential metals, and sulfur compounds that support growth — and those that can feed harmful bacteria when imbalanced. We also monitor toxic chloride salts from sodium, iron, calcium, zinc, and boron, along with excess nitrogen, which can restrict oxygen movement in the root zone.
WaterSOLV™ treatments address these issues at their source. We stabilize elements in the water so they remain available in the soil, control bacterial activity to prevent biofilm and toxin buildup, and detoxify sodium while increasing soil oxygen to keep conditions aerobic and healthy.
Over time, WaterSOLV™ breaks apart harmful chemical bonds and recovers trapped nutrients already present in your soil and irrigation water. This gradual process restores CEC and SAR balance, helping the soil function efficiently and sustain nutrient availability season after season.
Key Benefits
-
Unlock and mobilize trapped nutrients
-
Mitigate sodium toxicity and compaction
-
Improve infiltration and drainage
-
Reduce chemical and water requirements
-
Strengthen turf color, density, and recovery
THE PROCESS
-
Analyze – We test your irrigation water and soil chemistry to identify problem minerals and sodium ratios.
-
Apply – Based on your results, we create a customized WaterSOLV™ program tailored to your site.
-
Monitor & Adjust – Ongoing support ensures your soil continues improving season after season.
You’ll see noticeable changes in infiltration, soil structure, and turf vitality - typically within a few irrigation cycles.
