Features
Monitoring of the rootzone environment
- Sensors continuously collect data on temperature, volumetric water, O2 percentage
- Specialized software analyzes and displays the data for groundskeeper’s use
Ability to capture, conserve, & recycle water
- 100% of the field water is captured for recycling
- An underground cistern stores the water for treatment and reuse
- Drainage lines are valved to stop drainage and allow water to be held in the field
Offers above ground & subirrigation
- Water can be applied overhead or moved uniformly through capillary action from the base
- The watertight barrier allows the groundskeeper complete control of moisture conditions
Delivers gravity & vacuum-enhanced drainage
- High rootzone infiltration results in optimal drainage rates
- During severe rain events vacuum is applied to the drainage system to accelerate flow
Positive & negative air flow through the root zone
- Vacuum applied to the drainage system pulls fresh air down through the root zone
- Variable speed fans attached to the drainage system push air up through the root zone
- Root zone temperature is modified through the use of geothermally warmed/cooled air
