WHY TREAT THE SYMPTOMS?

Sweetwater treats the source

Sweetwater’s solution addresses the root issue by reducing alkaline salts in irrigation water with the Sweetwater Sulfur Burner.

Irrigation goes beyond adding water; it often introduces salts that make soil alkaline and limit nutrient availability. Treating the soil can be slow and costly, so why not tackle the source of the problem

The Safe, Organic Alternative to Traditional Acids

Sweetwater Systems produce acid that is SAFE.  With a pH similar to lemon juice, Sweetwater Sulfurous Acid is organically certified and the reduces the risks of water acidification. Strong acids like Sulfuric Acid are unforgiving and one accident is too many. 

"For a product like this that would establish turf this way I think that you would expect to pay fifty to seventy thousand dollars. The price was well within reason. Anyone considering this product should do so for one reason, that reason is that it works.”

Savings

Sweetwater burners were tested against traditional burners for efficiency on the same water reservoir.  The results showed that lowering the pH with inefficient traditional burners raised the EC dramatically when achieving the same pH. The Sulfur savings from the high efficiency Sweetwater Systems provides a 1–3 year ROI vs traditional burners.

*results vary based on the amount of sulfur burned.
