Water Conditioner Adjuvant
WATER CANNON
Agrocete’s Water Cannon is a high-performance water conditioning adjuvant designed to optimize spray solution performance in hard water conditions. By complexing dissolved cations such as calcium and magnesium, Water Cannon improves tank mix stability and maximizes pesticide and nutrient effectiveness.
Hard water can reduce the performance of many crop protection products. Water Cannon conditions the spray water before actives are introduced, minimizing antagonism, improving compatibility, and delivering more consistent field results.

"Fix the Water Before the Chemistry"
"Water Cannon is a simple add that conditions hard water before actives go in the tank. It improves compatibility, reduces antagonism, and helps us get more consistent performance out of the same spray program." - Arthur Costa, Agronomist

What is Water Cannon?
Water Cannon is a high-performance water conditioning adjuvant designed to improve spray solution performance in hard water conditions. It conditions spray water by binding calcium and magnesium before pesticides or nutrients are introduced into the tank.
Why is water conditioning important in spray applications?
Hard water contains dissolved minerals such as calcium (Ca++) and magnesium (Mg++). These minerals can bind with active ingredients, reducing compatibility, tank mix stability, and overall performance. Conditioning water before adding crop protection products helps minimize antagonism and improve consistency in the field.
How does Water Cannon work?
Water Cannon works through cation sequestration. It binds dissolved calcium and magnesium ions in hard water, preventing them from interfering with pesticides and nutrients. This allows the spray solution to remain stable and perform as intended.
What problems does hard water cause in spray tanks?
Hard water can:
• Reduce pesticide effectiveness
• Cause tank mix incompatibility
• Create uneven performance
• Reduce consistency between loads
• Increase the risk of antagonism
Antagonism occurs when minerals in hard water bind to active ingredients in the spray tank, reducing product availability and overall effectiveness. It is a chemical interaction, not a plant health or disease issue.
Water Cannon helps address these issues by conditioning the spray water before actives are added.
When should Water Cannon be added to the spray tank?
Water Cannon should be added first to the spray tank, before crop protection products or nutrients. Conditioning the water prior to adding actives ensures improved compatibility and performance.
What is the recommended use rate for Water Cannon?
Water Cannon is typically used at 10 oz per 100 gallons of water, which reduces approximately 100 ppm of water hardness. Always follow proper mixing procedures and adjust rates based on water quality.
How much water does one gallon of Water Cannon treat?
One gallon of Water Cannon treats approximately 1,280 gallons of water, depending on hardness levels.
Does Water Cannon replace AMS (ammonium sulfate)?
Water Cannon is designed to improve water quality and compatibility in hard water conditions. Depending on the spray program and water hardness levels, it may reduce or replace the need for additional conditioning products. Applicators should evaluate their specific program requirements.
Does Water Cannon improve tank mix stability?
Yes. By conditioning water before actives are added, Water Cannon helps improve tank mix stability and compatibility, reducing the likelihood of antagonism or performance variability.
Who should use Water Cannon?
Water Cannon is ideal for:
• Growers operating in hard water regions
• Retailers and custom applicators
• Operations focused on tank mix stability and consistent performance
• Programs requiring improved pesticide and nutrient compatibility
