Company Summary
Rain Systems patented technology, Precision Injection Machine, implants hydrogel into existing turf while keeping grass pristine. The hydrogels absorb water typically lost in drainage and evaporation, storing and releasing water back to the soil as needed. This leads to fewer days of irrigation and a reduction in water usage up to 50%. The hydrogel is EPA tested, 100% biodegradable and fully effective for 3 years.
