The ELIET Jetzer is a machine that injects hydrophilic polymers capable of retaining rainwater like water crystals into an existing lawn to boost its resistance to drought in a sustainable way.
Eliet, Otegem's Belgian manufacturer, was looking for a sustainable way to tackle the problem of drought in a preventive way. That's why they developed Jetzer. The ELIET Jetzer is a machine that allows granules to be incorporated into an existing lawn to a depth of up to 10 cm, without causing significant visual damage. This makes it possible to treat a lawn proactively in spring or autumn. The water-absorbing polymer mixed with various products can absorb and retain up to one hundred times its own weight in water. This creates an underground water reserve that plants can use if the natural supply of moisture stops due to a lack of rain. By placing the product directly in the root zone of the lawn, the action of the active ingredients is highly effective. During dry periods, this saves up to 50% on watering the lawn.
