Aqua-Carbon – Carbon-Based Water Conditioner for pH Stabilization, Nutrient Availability, and Soil Health

Aqua-Carbon is an advanced carbon-based water conditioner formulated to improve irrigation water quality and enhance soil chemistry. By pre-treating irrigation water, Aqua-Carbon converts carbonates and bicarbonates into highly soluble, organically rich lignosulfonate salts, which stabilize soil pH and serve as an energy source for beneficial soil microbes.

This organic conversion process increases readily available calcium and organic sulfur in the soil while improving infiltration, moisture retention, and nutrient efficiency. Regular use of Aqua-Carbon enhances turf performance, soil microbial activity, and root development, resulting in more balanced, productive soils.

Aqua-Carbon also helps reduce scale formation in irrigation lines, soften seed coats for better germination, and lower irrigation water pH for improved nutrient solubility and uptake. This unique, sustainable solution supports both short- and long-term soil and water quality management for golf, sports, and landscape turf systems.

Key Features
  • Pre-treats irrigation water to convert harmful carbonates and bicarbonates into soluble, organically rich lignosulonate salts
  • Stabilizes soil pH while supplying organic carbon that enhances microbial activity and soil health
  • Increases infiltration and soil moisture for more efficient water use and uniform hydration
  • Improves nutrient availability by enhancing calcium and sulfur uptake in the soil
  • Softens seed coats to promote faster and more uniform germination
  • Reduces scale buildup in drip irrigation systems for improved water flow and long-term system performance

Application Rates

Apply 3 to 5 ounces per 1,000 ft² in 2 gallons of water (10 to 16 L/ha in 800 L) at 15 day intervals or as needed.

Irrigate with sufficient water to deliver Aqua-Carbon to the soil profile – 1/8 inch (3 mm) or more recommended.

Inject 1 to 1.5 gallons per acre (10 to 16 L/ha) at 15 day intervals or as needed.
