Chad noted that his soil has a lot of clay in it requiring him to water the lemon trees for 25 hours at a time, twice a week. Since the installation of the EcoH2O device, he now waters only 18 hours twice a week (a 28% reduction in water applied) and has been able to reduce application fertilizers by 50%. He commented that he no longer has a problem of standing water during irrigation, as the water perks more rapidly. Finally, Chad commented that the 2017 harvest of lemons was the largest he has ever had, but did not give the exact percentage increase in the case of his older trees.
