Water is money, save it! Research from the University of Georgia has proven that turf treated with AQUA-ZORB requires less than 50% of the normal irrigation water to achieve the necessary soil moisture content level of 15%, compared to untreated turf. The resultant saving on water more than offsets the cost of adding AQUA-ZORB.

Rhizotron study A Rhizotron is an underground root observation laboratory which enables research to be carried out on turf and simultaneously view the turf root system through the glass windows. This facility has been successfully used to view the roots of turf that were planted over an area of hydrophobic soil which was treated with AQUA-ZORB at 2.5ltrs/500sq m. The 1997–99 University of Georgia Rhizotron Study has shown that turfgrass treated with AQUA-ZORB can result in greater rooting length in hydrophobic soil during the summer.

Go with the Matrix Flow An uneven or preferential flow of water on golf greens can be caused by localised dry spots (LDSs) of soil. AQUA-ZORB is a proven water management product that produces even soil wetting or matrix flow*, which eliminates LDSs and in turn improves turfgrass quality. * Statistically proven data from a University of Georgia laboratory study, 2000 Untreated (left) and treated (right) soil profiles 10 minutes after 1.3cm of irrigation
