Turf & Ornamental

Greens, fairways, sports fields and nurseries — fed by better water.

Black layer, localized dry spots, sealed greens, sodium and shells in the heads are symptoms of the water you irrigate with. HCT treats the water so the soil can breathe again.

Rain versus irrigation water on golf course turf

What the program addresses

Minerals, metals, microbes and sodium.

Pore space, infiltration rate, moisture penetration and retention
Available nutrition and hydration — liberating bound soil nutrients instead of adding more fertilizer
Oxygen in the root zone; water that can otherwise turn septic
Sodium and chloride detoxification
Remediation of iron-bacteria biofilms and black layer, including its hydrogen sulfide exudates
Reduced aerification and top-dressing frequency, fewer flushes, lower disease and pest pressure

Continuous treatment runs through the pump station with WaterSOLV™ Curative and BC. Problem greens, tees, collection areas and dry spots are spotted topically with WaterSOLV™ pHix, with GROW for recovery; customers typically see a response within 30–90 days.

Why it works

Rain versus irrigation water.

Turf greens up after rain and not after irrigation because rain carries no bicarbonate, no hardness and no sodium. Treated irrigation water behaves more like rain: it penetrates, it carries nutrition the plant can drink, and it doesn't cement the surface between cycles.

Golf

Greens, bunkers and fairways. HCT's program is on more than 240 golf courses nationwide.

Sports fields & parks

Uniformity, durability and predictable transitions through seasonal variables — rain, drought, freezing and wind.

Landscape & nurseries

Container and field stock irrigated with challenging municipal or well water.
