When you have a well-designed irrigation system that can
distribute water to match specifi c site conditions, the real-time
soil information provided by Turf Guard allows you to apply
precise amounts of water where and when it’s needed. Maintaining
optimal soil moisture levels across your course will enhance turf
health and playability while reducing your water use.
With Turf Guard
®
you save water —
and money and time— in many ways:
• Eliminate overwatering by identifying which parts of the
course have suffi cient moisture already.
• Irrigate individual areas based on their exact needs
at the time—no more, no less.
• Minimize wasteful runoff by knowing the soil’s ability
to accept, hold and fi lter water.
• Stretch the time between irrigation cycles so the turf
extracts more moisture from the soil.
It has defi nitely saved me some water. Instead
of actually going out and measuring, I look at the
data and see if it’s needed, and sometimes it isn’t.
I would say there has been at least a 10% savings
in water...and I pay for my water.
