Profile Aqua-pHix (Soil Amendment)
Safely and quickly decrease soil pH, salts and bicarbonates for healthier, thicker turf.
Aqua-pHix™ is a proprietary blend of chelated, buffered acid designed to help manage hard water and highly alkaline soil. Available in a granular, spray and fertigation formula, it is proven to be more effective than any sprayable acidifier on the market and the most cost-effective treatment for high-pH soils available. Unlike sulfuric acid, Aqua-pHix is safe to the touch and non-corrosive to spray and irrigation equipment.
Aqua-pHix is proven to:
- Quickly decrease the pH of soils to improve plant growth
- Reduce unwanted salts and reduce bicarbonates in the soil
- Make nutrients more readily available for plant uptake
- Minimize leaching or runoff of fertiliser into streams, rivers, lakes and groundwater
- Loosen soils to improve water infiltration and promote root growth
ProPlus Aqua-pHix is available in three formulations to fit your preferred method of application:
- Granular–The only granular acidifier available for cost-effective topdressing and aeration infill.
- Spray–Proven safe for use with commonly used spray equipment.
- Fertigation–Specially formulated to work with all fertigation systems.
Why ProPlus® Aqua-pHix™ is your best solution for more productive soil.
Aqua-pHix is Safer: Unlike commonly used sulfuric acid, buffered chelated acid has been proven in independent testing to be non-destructive to skin and non-corrosive to spray or irrigation equipment, including copper, brass and aluminium. (A minimum dilution rate of 50:1 should be used when in contact with zinc.) Third-party phytotoxicity testing proves Aqua-pHix, applied at a minimal 25:1 dilution rate, will not burn turf.
Aqua-pHix is More Effective: Buffered chelated acid with a pH < 1.0 works quickly to lower the pH level of the soil, aiding in germination, making nutrients available and dissolving unwanted bicarbonate. It reduces sodium build-up to improve water penetration and drainage and maximize plant establishment and density. You get twice the results as the leading sprayable acid product on the market, as documented by third-party testing. Plus, Aqua-pHix does not include nitrogen, which some products include to create the appearance of an immediate benefit.
Aqua-pHix is Cost Efficient: As long as hard water is present, the condition of your soil will be an issue. Aqua-pHix is the easiest, most cost-efficient method to treat hard water when used consistently. Initial cost and cost-in-use are significantly lower than the most commonly used acidifiers on the market, as documented by third-party testing.
