KEEP WATERING—BUT THE SOIL STILL DRIES TOO FAST?

Water can disappear below the roots before spreading across the soil.

You’re left with dry patches, thirsty plants, uneven growth—and another watering job.

MADE FOR

Sand · Sandy loam · Perlite · Gravel · Pebbles · Loose loam
Lawns · Gardens · Pots · Raised beds · Growing media

MAKE EVERY WATERING REACH FURTHER

Hydro Level helps water spread sideways—from particle to particle—before it drains below the root zone.

You get:

  • Wider, more even moisture
  • Fewer dry patches
  • More water within root reach
  • Better distribution of nutrients and fertiliser
  • Less water and nutrition lost below the roots
  • More consistent growth

CLAY FINES MAKING SAND MESSY?

Fine clay can clog the spaces between sand particles and interrupt water movement.

Hydro Level draws these fines into larger clumps—helping reopen pathways through the soil.

MORE VALUE FROM WHAT YOU ALREADY APPLY

Where water spreads, nutrients, fertilisers and biological inputs follow.

You bring the water and nutrition. Hydro Level helps distribute them through more of the root zone.

PROVEN TO PERFORM

More than 100% wider water spread
Up to 33% less water lost below the roots

SIMPLE TO USE

Dilute. Apply evenly to moist soil. Water in.

Apply monthly until water behaviour improves. Then reapply only when the problem returns.

STOP LOSING WATER BELOW YOUR ROOTS.

SPREAD IT WIDER. KEEP IT WORKING.

Application Guide

BEST RESULTS

  • For sandy or sandy-dominant soils.
  • Dilute with water and apply to moist soil.
  • Water in evenly to distribute through the surface.
  • Maintain normal irrigation after application.

FIRST TREATMENT – MOISTURE & SLURRY CONTROL

Dry Patches / Uneven Wetting: 5 mL/m²

Slurry-forming or quicksand-like sands (over-irrigated, silty, unstable sands): Apply: 10 mL/m²

(Water in evenly with application.)

OPTIONAL FOLLOW-UP

If dry patch or slurry behaviour persists, apply 2 mL/m² every 4–6 weeks until balance is restored.

Water in as per initial application.

REAPPLY IF

Dry patch returns.

Water runs straight through the profile.

Sand becomes slurry-like when saturated from clay contamination

Seasonal stress increases (heat, traffic, irrigation changes).

FAQ's

Will HYDRO LEVEL fix dry patch in sandy soil?

Yes.

HYDRO LEVEL evens moisture movement in sand so water spreads instead of skipping dry areas or draining straight through.

Dry patch commonly occurs in hydrophobic sands and sandy loams where irrigation water fails to distribute evenly. HYDRO LEVEL improves lateral moisture spread without compacting or binding sand.

Will it reduce puddles and muddy spots?

Yes.

By improving surface moisture distribution, HYDRO LEVEL reduces puddling and muddy patches caused by uneven watering or over-irrigation.

This is especially useful in sandy areas where water pools at sprinkler or drip points and leaves surrounding areas dry.

Will it make my sand hard or compact?

No.

HYDRO LEVEL does not bind, cement, or harden sand. Treated areas remain free-draining and workable.

It controls how water behaves in sand, not the physical structure of the soil.

Is HYDRO LEVEL just another wetting agent?

No.

Wetting agents help water enter soil.

HYDRO LEVEL controls where water goes after it enters.

This helps prevent water racing straight through the profile or pooling at the surface.

How long does HYDRO LEVEL last?

Longer than standard wetting agents.

Reapply only when dry patch, puddling, or uneven wetting returns, or after major soil disturbance.

There is no fixed reapplication schedule.

Is it safe for lawns, gardens, and vegetable beds?

Yes.

When used as directed, HYDRO LEVEL is safe for turf, ornamentals, and edible plants.

When do I need to reapply?

Reapply when:

  • dry patch returns
  • water runs straight through the soil
  • muddy or boggy patches reappear
  • soil has been disturbed or renovated
  • seasonal stress increases (heat, traffic, irrigation changes)

Can I overapply HYDRO LEVEL?

Using more than recommended won’t improve results.

Low, even application works best.

Will it work with sprinklers and irrigation systems?

Yes.

HYDRO LEVEL is compatible with sprinklers, drip irrigation, hose-on application, and tank watering systems.

What soils should I NOT use HYDRO LEVEL on?

Do not use on:

  • heavy clay soils
  • soils needing structural remediation

For clay soils, use FUTURE SOIL® CLAY FIXER instead.

Can I use HYDRO LEVEL with Liquid Biochar?

Yes.

HYDRO LEVEL controls how water spreads through sand. Liquid Biochar can be added separately to increase nutrient holding (CEC) and biological capacity.

Used together, HYDRO LEVEL improves moisture distribution, while Liquid Biochar helps retain nutrients and support root-zone biology. Each product does a different job and they can be applied independently or as part of a broader soil program.
