AquaDepot water reservoir

New water-storing substrates are becoming increasingly important. Storing water prevents irrigation water from draining directly into the groundwater and also reduces water consumption.

The original AquaDepot from Mairol became known, among other things, through TV coverage of its launch at the IPM in Essen, the world's largest plant trade fair. Mairol AquaDepot stores water and nutrients and prevents dryness in the root zone. It also saves time: the watering interval can be extended by four to seven days. That means: water less, enjoy your garden and balcony more.

AquaDepot optimises the soil structure and is completely broken down.

Mairol AquaDepot is suitable for all plants

The Mairol water reservoir ensures a continuous, needs-based release of water to the plant. This means less stress for plants, especially during prolonged heat. The Mairol water reservoir is suitable for all plants in soil – for beds, graves, planters on balconies and patios. AquaDepot is just as suitable for flowers as for the vegetable patch and soft fruit. For graves, the advantage is that the water reservoir supplies the grave plants with the moisture they need even in dry spells, because even in great heat you no longer need to water every day, but only every three to four days.

How AquaDepot behaves over time

The following picture series shows how AquaDepot soaks up water within a few hours at the start and builds up the water reservoir. The first photo was taken on 29 May, approx. 5 minutes after filling the glasses. The last photo is from 3 June, five days after the start. You can clearly see how it works as a water reservoir.

The Mairol water reservoir can be compared to a rechargeable battery.

Application and dosage of Mairol AquaDepot

Method 1: simply mix 10 to 20 g of AquaDepot granules into one litre of potting soil. You can then plant and water. 20 grams of granules in the soil store almost a litre of water, which is released gradually.

Method 2: so that you don't have to add the water gradually, you can also proceed as follows. First let the Mairol granules swell sufficiently in a bucket of water and then mix them with the soil. Then apply close to the plant's roots.

Water absorption

Mairol AquaDepot creates a sponge structure with a grain size of approx. 6 mm when dry. When it absorbs water, the granules swell into a sponge. The structure does not change in the process.

Mairol AquaDepot stores 30 times its own weight in water.

The water is available to the plant when needed. No waterlogging occurs. Rooting

The AquaDepot sponge shrinks back during dry spells and when water is drawn from it. As soon as it comes into contact with water again, the granules swell up again.

Mairol AquaDepot loosens the soil so that plants can root through it well. The uptake of water and dissolved nutrients is optimised.

AquaDepot is resistant to salts

The volume of the sponge structure shrinks by approx. 30% after direct application of nitrate or fertiliser, but the sponge structure remains completely intact. The Mairol water reservoir binds all nutrients directly where you apply them to the soil. This reduces the leaching of salts into the groundwater.
