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
