Product Description
WaterSave is a potassium based polymers that are remarkable, nontoxic, environmentally safe water management systems with excellent ability to absorb and store water. Ninety five percent of stored water is available to release gradually to plant roots as needed. 100 - 800 microns.
Advantages
- Increases water holding capacity and reduces irrigation frequency. WaterSave has the greatest capacity to absorb water under soil pressure. One ounce of WaterSaveTM crystals can absorb about one gallon of water.
- Easy to use. Just mix with soil. No special tools required. Upon watering, the polymers absorb water and become a gel.
- Promotes healthy plant growth. Keep the root zone moist not water logged. Provides optimum conditions for plant root development and prevent root rot.
- Increases soil aeration. Expanding and contracting gel opens passages in the soil and allows free flow of air and nutrients
- WaterSave is a potassium-based rather than sodium-based polymer. Potassium is a nutrient required in plant development.
- WaterSave has a life span up to five years.
- WaterSave aids in the control of water run-off, prevents leaching of valuable water and nutrients from soil and reduces the fertilizer requirements.
- WaterSave is environmentally safe and does not contaminate plants, soils or ground water. It is essentially neutral in pH and can work over a wide range of pH.
