PRO SERIES HYDRO LEVEL
Change the physics of sand so water spreads sideways before it drops. When water stays in the root zone longer, roots, nutrients, inputs and growth follow.
Reduce drainage bypass loss by up to 33%.
Sand is great for air but it's not great for holding water where roots need it.
That is the challenge with sand-based systems. They are open, porous and fast-draining, which is excellent for oxygen movement, but often inefficient for water use. Irrigation can move straight down through the profile, past the root zone, before enough lateral spread has occurred.
PRO SERIES HYDRO LEVEL is designed to correct that.
Why this is different
PRO SERIES HYDRO LEVEL is not a standard wetting agent.
It is a cationic soil behaviour modifier engineered to make water spread through sand more effectively before it drains away.
It does this without blocking pore space and without shutting down the free-draining nature of sand.
That means you keep the benefits of sand:
- air-filled porosity
- drainage
- playability
- profile responsiveness
But with better water distribution, better root zone contact, and less bypass loss.
What it does
- drives lateral water movement before vertical drop
- reduces rapid drainage bypass through the profile
- improves wetting uniformity in sand
- helps re-wet hydrophobic zones
- supports broader, more effective root zone hydration
- encourages lateral root development by widening the moisture footprint
- stabilises problematic sand behaviour associated with fines contamination
Water spreads sideways through the profile first.
Then it drains.
That is the difference.
Why that matters
When water only moves down, roots chase depth or miss moisture zones entirely.
When water spreads laterally first, the root zone becomes broader, more even and more functional. Roots follow that moisture sideways, producing a wider zone of activity and better use of the profile.
Proven performance
- up to 33% reduction in drainage bypass loss
- up to 30% reduction in drainage rate
- more than double the wetted zone beneath irrigation
- improved moisture balance in sand-based turf systems
- 17 to 24% yield improvement in sandy soil tomato trials
- 78% reduction in blossom end rot in sandy soil tomato trials
What you will notice
- fewer dry patches
- more even irrigation coverage
- less wasted water
- better moisture distribution through the root zone
- improved surface consistency under irrigation
- broader, more functional root development

Application Guide
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
FAQ's
Will SAND LEVEL fix dry patch in sandy soil?
Yes.
SAND 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. SAND LEVEL improves lateral moisture spread without compacting or binding sand.
Will it reduce puddles and muddy spots?
Yes.
By improving surface moisture distribution, SAND 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.
SAND 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 SAND LEVEL just another wetting agent?
No.
Wetting agents help water enter soil.
SAND 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 SAND 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, SAND 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 SAND LEVEL?
Using more than recommended won’t improve results.
Low, even application works best.
Will it work with sprinklers and irrigation systems?
Yes.
SAND LEVEL is compatible with sprinklers, drip irrigation, hose-on application, and tank watering systems.
What soils should I NOT use SAND LEVEL on?
Do not use on:
- heavy clay soils
- soils needing structural remediation
For clay soils, use FUTURE SOIL® CLAY BREAKER instead.
Can I use SAND LEVEL with Liquid Biochar?
Yes.
SAND LEVEL controls how water spreads through sand. Liquid Biochar can be added separately to increase nutrient holding (CEC) and biological capacity.
Used together, SAND 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.
