Broadcast the polymer with a spreader or drop seeder for even disbursement. To ensure even disbursement, plot out 1000 square feet (25x40 or any measurement to equal 1000 square feet). Set the spreader or drop seeder opening at the smallest setting. Fill the seeder or spreader with the appropriate amount for 1000 square feet. Broadcast the polymer in the plot. If too much polymer is left in the hopper after the first pass applying the polymer, make proper adjustments to ensure all product is dispersed.

Work the polymer into the arena at the desired depth using a roto-tiller, harrow or disk. If a harrow is used, the spacing between the tines should be a minimum of six inches. If necessary, remove every other tine. Note: Apply up to two pounds more of the Hydro-Keep per 1000 square feet where heavy traffic occurs in the arena (outer ring of arena etc.). Water liberally, water routine should be normal for five to seven days. Water rates and reductions can then be established. Hydro-Keep must be worked into the arena at the above depths to be effective. If left on the surface, UV light will break the polymer down. Salt content of the water and the pH of the arena effect the absorption capacity of the polymer.
