The Ocean Begins
at Your Front Door
Even if you live miles from the Pacific Ocean, you may be unknowingly polluting it.
There are two types of non-point source pollution: stormwater and urban runoff pollution.
Stormwater runoff refers to runoff resulting from rainfall. It is very noticeable during heavy rainstorms when large volumes of water drain off the urban landscape picking up pollutants along the way.
Urban runoff can happen anytime of the year when excessive water use from irrigation, vehicle washing and other sources carries trash, lawn clippings and other urban pollutants into storm drains.
The Garden I.V. Fertilization System can significantly reduce storm water runoff resulting from chemicals remaining on lawn or garden. However, proper installation, maintenance and operation of the sprinkler system is necessary to minimize urban runoff.
