Designed for lawns, gardens, and turf, it covers up to 5,500 sq ft per application and lasts up to 3 months. Trusted by professionals, it improves nutrient uptake, seed germination, and drought resilience while being safe for pets and children. ## Description Hydretain ES Plus Granular QD is the spreader-applied commercial formulation trusted by golf course superintendents, sports turf managers, and landscape professionals. Unlike wetting agents, surfactants, or absorbent polymer crystals, Hydretain uses patented hygroscopic humectant technology to condense ambient soil moisture vapor into plant-usable water droplets at the root zone. The result: longer hydration intervals, reduced drought stress, and turf that holds color and density between irrigation cycles. Review: New sod - I applied this stuff liberally on near 8 pallets of fresh St Augustine sod after a heatwave came a few weeks following installation. Temperatures rose from 80's into mid 90's. I focused on sunniest areas not worrying too much of shadiest. It's been 4 months, now mid August, and find only the areas I applied it on are the greenest, fairing August heat the best despite watering and shade. I believe this may be due to root growth on areas I applied it to. I'll definitely use again. Review: Works well - if you apply it correctly - This product works really well if you apply it correctly and don't expect it to water the lawn for you. I can't stress this enough: you have to water it in!! In my experience, the best way to apply this is to do it right after a rainfall, and then water about 1/4-1/2 inch *within 24 hours*. Use catch cups (or tuna cans) if you're not sure how much water you're putting down. If you don't do this properly, you won't get great results. I believe most of the poor reviews are because of improper application, and this stuff is too pricey to make that mistake. I personally apply this twice per season: once in the first week or two of May, and again in the last week or two of July (80-90 days apart). You will still need to water your lawn - this isn't a miracle product that makes water magically appear in your soil - but you *will* water less and not as deeply when properly applied. ## Features - MORE THAN A WETTING AGENT – Hydretain is fundamentally different than wetting agents, surfactants, or absorbent polymer crystals. Hydretain is the only water management product that uses food grade hygroscopic humectant components to convert unavailable soil moisture vapor into plant usable water droplets. This unique formulation keeps plants hydrated longer between waterings or rainfall. - IMPROVES NUTRIENT UPTAKE & SEED GERMINATION – Hydretain not only helps avoid negative impacts of underwatering, it also helps plant roots collect and utilize more nutrients. Get more out of applied fertilizers and other amendments. Hydretain is also great for seeding and sodding to increase germination and establishment. - LONG LASTING & EASY TO APPLY – Each application of Hydretain lasts up to 3 months. Covers up to 5,500 sq. ft. of lawns or 1,500 sq. ft. of garden beds. Apply topically to existing lawns or soil within containers, garden beds or around individual plants, including shrubs and trees. To improve transplant establishment, Hydretain can be mixed into the soil or applied topically at the time of seeding, sodding or planting. Water-in thoroughly after application. Hydretain will not function properly until it is watered-into the root zone. See product packaging for more detailed instructions. - PET & CHILD SAFE - Our moisture supplement is non-toxic and is pet and child safe. Hydretain reduces watering by up to 50% or more, making it a great way to lower the environmental impact of your planting. - DROUGHT & WATERING RESTRICTION READY β€” When water budgets tighten or municipal restrictions limit irrigation days, Hydretain ES Plus Granular QD keeps root zones hydrated between allowed waterings. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0H4NQQ56L | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,172 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #192 in Garden Fertilizers | | Brand | Hydretain | | Brand Name | Hydretain | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,985 Reviews | | Included Components | 1 Bag | | Item Form | Granules | | Item Highlight | Patented humectant granule, 3-month residual, covers 5,500 sq ft - lawns, gardens & turf - homeowners and gardeners Item Highlight Patented humectant granule, 3-month residual, covers 5,500 sq ft - lawns, gardens & turf - homeowners and gardeners See more | | Item Weight | 15 pounds | | Manufacturer | Ecologel | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 080-4395 | | UPC | 768103150731 | | Unit Count | 240 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hydretain - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Item Weight:** 3 pounds - **Liquid Volume:** 32 fluid ounces ## Images ![Hydretain ES Plus Moisture Manager, Reduces Watering 50%, 15 lb Granule - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ETFSibykL.jpg) ![Hydretain ES Plus Moisture Manager, Reduces Watering 50%, 15 lb Granule - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5167GkUWFRL.jpg) ![Hydretain ES Plus Moisture Manager, Reduces Watering 50%, 15 lb Granule - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715oJT-DCvL.jpg) ![Hydretain ES Plus Moisture Manager, Reduces Watering 50%, 15 lb Granule - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51miClE-KPL.jpg) ![Hydretain ES Plus Moisture Manager, Reduces Watering 50%, 15 lb Granule - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rDp-RCcvL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New sod *by R***S on August 18, 2026* I applied this stuff liberally on near 8 pallets of fresh St Augustine sod after a heatwave came a few weeks following installation.

I have one of the best appearance yards in the neighborhood! The grasss stays green, and the ease of use is super simple.
