WATERSOLV™ · THE PROGRAM
What is WaterSOLV™?
WaterSOLV™ is HCT's water and soil chemistry program for irrigated agriculture, golf, sports turf and landscape. It treats the chemistry in the irrigation water that causes the problems in the soil: bicarbonates and hardness, sodium and chloride, and the biology that seals the profile. Four products, one injection point, testing first.

WHAT WATERSOLV™ IS
Treat the water, and every irrigation cycle starts working for the soil.
A few gallons of chemistry per million gallons of water changes what the minerals and the biology do after the water leaves the emitter. WaterSOLV™ is injected at the pump station during normal irrigation, through the same point an acid program uses, and works on ion exchange rather than pH suppression, so the correction holds after the water is in the ground.
The program runs in three layers: condition the irrigation water at the source, release what is bound in the profile, then support the crop or turf once the system can deliver. Water, soil and biology are treated as one system rather than as separate symptoms.

THE WATERSOLV™ PRODUCTS
Four products. Each has one job in the program.

WaterSOLV™ pHix and GROW
pHix is the diluted combination of Curative and BC for topical, targeted work; GROW is the support product for recovery and nutrient mobility once correction is under way.

WHERE WATERSOLV™ IS USED
Two programs, one chemistry, one delivery system.
The Agriculture and Turf & Ornamental programs use the same products and the same testing; what changes is the crop, the irrigation system and the symptoms that bring people to HCT. Both run through the FS-1 chemigation system where flow-proportional dosing is wanted.
TESTING FIRST
Legacy Analytical sizes the program to your water.
Legacy Analytical tests your soil with your actual irrigation water at a 4:1 ratio for 72 hours, so the results show what the field is really doing rather than what a distilled-water lab extraction suggests. The water analysis sets the product and the rate; the soil and bacteria results decide what else belongs in the program.
01
Irrigation water analysis
Bicarbonate, hardness, calcium, magnesium, sodium and chloride set the Curative rate.
02
Available soil nutrition
Soil extracted with your own water shows what the plant can actually access and what is bound.
03
Bacteria count
Decides whether BC belongs in the program and whether biofilm is part of the restriction.
IN THE WATER
Minerals stay soluble
Scale-forming minerals stay in solution through lines, emitters and heads.
IN THE SOIL
Bound nutrition released
Salts and minerals go back into solution where the roots can use them.
FOR THE PLANT
Consistent response
Water moves, oxygen returns and the crop or turf responds evenly.
CASE STUDIES
Measured before and after, in the field.
GET STARTED
Start with the problem you are seeing, or start with the water.
Open the water and soil topics below to see how WaterSOLV™ addresses the condition you are managing, order a Legacy Analytical panel, or talk with HCT and we will point you to the right product, dealer or test. WaterSOLV™ products are sold through authorized dealers in 5-gallon pails, 30-gallon carboy drums, 55-gallon drums and totes.
