Reduce Irrigation Requirement by Up To 50% with Soil2O

JUPITER, Fla., Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 80% of the United States is currently affected by the 2012 drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Most of those areas are still under strict water restrictions, both commercially and residentially.

Residential landscape irrigation accounts for more than 7 billion gallons of water per day, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  Industries that depend on water to thrive have relied on precipitation and irrigation, but precipitation counts continue to decrease each year.

Homeowners and commercial farmers alike must find alternative ways to conserve water while still maintaining a healthy landscape, and GelTech Solutions has found a way to help them.

Soil₂O is a soil conditioner that promotes water and nutrient retention in agriculture and residential landscapes, reducing the need for watering by up to 50%.

"GelTech Solutions created Soil₂O to help combat drought and to conserve water," said Mike Poslaiko, Director of Marketing for GelTech Solutions. "The results we've seen of Soil₂O have been remarkable and can go a long way for both homeowners and commercial farmers."

Soil₂O absorbs up to 400 times its weight in water, releasing 95% back into the root system.  As Soil₂O expands in the presence of water, it increases the water holding capacity of soils and potting mixes, thereby reducing the frequency of irrigation, as well as the leaching of valuable nutrients.
