PRODUCT DATA SHEET
PREVENT LEACHING IN SAND.
FIX WATERLOGGED CLAYS (QUICKSAND).
AQUA DIRT SAND LEVEL is a cationic-only soil conditioner that treats both ends of the "sand" spectrum: loose sands that drain too fast and waterlogged (dispersive) clays that behave like quicksand. On sand, it plates grains with positive charge to slow infiltration and hold water and nutrients in the root zone. On clays, it flocculates the mobile matrix, firming waterlogged ground so moisture moves in a stable, controlled way.
Why Growers, Greenkeepers, and Gardeners switch to SAND LEVEL
Water that runs straight through my lawn, hot spots on fairways, hydrophobic potting mix that drains too fast, and dry rings around drip emitters are all symptoms of the same problem: sand cannot hold charge.
SAND LEVEL adds that missing charge so you can:
- keep water in sandy soil and cut irrigation frequency on turf and fairways
- stop nutrient leaching in vegetable beds and furrow-irrigated cane
- slow run-off on sandy paddocks and coastal slopes
- balance moisture across patchy greens and combat fungal dry spot
- boost CEC so potassium and calcium stay available between feeds
- improve germination in sandy seedbeds and reduce hand watering in potted plants
- extend pivot cycles on desert sand and manage salt creep in irrigated sand belts
Field-proven gains
|
Site & crop |
Measured benefit (90 days unless noted) |
|---|---|
|
Almond orchard, Bannerton VIC |
+61.9 % steady-state infiltration · −32.5 % nitrate and −40.9 % phosphate leaching · canopy temperature −1.6 °C |
|
Sports turf, Murray Bridge SA |
+24–31 % root-zone moisture (10–75 mm) · dry patch halved within 30 days |
What it does
- Creates gentle electrostatic friction so water and nutrients stay where roots feed
- Levels moisture in hydrophobic zones, ideal for racecourses, golf greens, and sports ovals
- Cuts evaporation from sandy loam, stabilises compost moisture, and holds liquid fertiliser near roots
- Works alone or amplifies Liquid Biochar, gypsum, and organic matter in a single pass
- Outperforms any liquid soil wetter alternative with no surfactant burn

Application guide
Carrier water, minimum 300 L ha for even delivery. Follow with 5–10 mm irrigation or rain within 12 h
Straight answers
Is it a wetting agent?
No. Wetting agents lower surface tension temporarily. SAND LEVEL uses cationic attraction to hold moisture all season, making it the best wetting agent alternative for hydrophobic soil without burn risk.
Will it clog fertigation lines?
Low viscosity and low foaming: safe for drip, boom, or pivot. Jar-test salty or high-NPK mixes first.
Can it replace water-holding polymers?
Polymers swell and break down. SAND LEVEL chemically binds water and nutrients, delivering a sustainable, re-sprayable solution that fits any drought-proof sandy sports oval or sandy pasture hill.
Does it work with compost or LIQUID BIOCHAR?
Yes. Charge attraction lets carbon, microbes, and calcium bond to sand, improving colonisation of microbes in sandy soil and holding potassium in vineyard rows.
Pro tips
- Apply just after coring, de-thatching, or light cultivation for maximum depth.
- Split rates above 500 L ha into two passes if water volume is limited.
- Use before seeding to give a quick fix for water-repellent soils and improve germination.
Everyday headaches SAND LEVEL puts to rest
- Lawns on sandy soil that dry out too fast after watering.
- Hydrophobic patches where water beads and runs off.
- Golf greens that lose moisture fast, making play uneven and hot.
- Bunkers and sand tracks that wash out after heavy rain.
- Dry rings and patchy turf colour caused by uneven wetting.
- Potted plants in coir mixes needing constant hand watering.
- Irrigation systems showing hot spots and cold streaks in audits.
- Coastal sands losing fertiliser to leaching and salt creep.
- Capillary mats and drippers that don’t work because media drains too fast.
- Vineyards and orchards losing calcium and potassium to deep drainage.
- Garden beds where water evaporates before roots get it.
- Hilly paddocks and berry rows where rainwater just runs away.
- Sports fields where turf dries unevenly from front to back.
- Coarse sands that channel water straight past the roots.
- Mulch layers that repel water instead of helping it soak in.
