WHAT IS & HOW TO USE RECHARGEABLE SOLID WATER? Rechargeable Solid Water (RSW) is a neutralized cross-linked co-polymer of partially neutralized acrylic. In dry form they are a powder of crystalline structure. Upon contact with water they expand and form a gel-like suspension. The polymers are essentially insoluble in water. By placing the charged bag next to the root zone of a plant, it releases the water to meet the growth needs of the plant. The large size bag prior to use weighs 15 grams and when charged holds 1.2 Litres or 1 kilo of solid water, which equates to 98% water. The regular size bag weighs around 6 grams and when charged holds around 300mls of solid water, which equates to 98% water. The Mini size bag weighs around 1 gram and when charged holds around 40mls of solid water, which equates to 98% water. There are other water saving products on the market but rechargeable solid water is unique because the polymers have a memory that allows the bag to be fully rechargeable by either applying water or rain. Recharging should occur between 20-30 days to maximise its use and the life of the product. Many tests have shown that rechargeable solid water can make nursery-grown plants in the dry, live 30 days or more without a drop of water. A soluble plant additive (liquid fertilizer) can be added to the water and the bag will absorb and slowly release into the root zone of the plant. The bag when fully charged needs to be fully covered with soil or mulch. It is biodegradable and will break down if exposed to direct sunlight.
