GOLF IRRIGATION NEWS

WISH YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DIG THAT BY HAND?

Then don't! Put a GeoRipper® MiniTrencher™ in your budget requests for next year and be ready for the next time you need to slice in some drainage, do minor root pruning, or break up that "rock-hard" clay. Each of our locations is outfitted with a unit, so stop by and have a look. We are also your source for NDS, ADS and Hydroblox drainage to help with your fall drainage projects.Reach out to your Territory Manager or Service Tech for more information today!

DON'T WAIT FOR A FROZEN POND - SCHEDULE YOUR FOUNTAIN SERVICE TODAY

Consider having your fountain serviced by our factory trained technicians right now as you pull it out of the pond. An oil change is required every two years and every four years a complete teardown and rebuild of the unit is required. Visit our website here for more information.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE FOR OCTOBER

Listed below are maintenance items to check during the month of October. This is from our yearly irrigation checklist which can be downloaded here .

Review as-built drawings and update for changes made through the year
Post-aerification system check - look for leaks, broken caps, damaged QCVs, etc.
Review winterization videos and instructions
Winterize fertigation system
Staff meeting to assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats
Note any locations where quick coupler valves should be added and order parts
Create and prioritize project list for next year's budget
Schedule planning visit with your Turf Equipment representative

We urge you to watch this fifteen-minute video prior to winterization so you know what will need to be done. The video will give you an overview of the steps involved and graphically show how it is performed on a typical golf course.

UPGRADE YOUR WINTERIZATION PROCESS

After watching the winterization video, you may want to purchase a kit to fabricate your own setup so you are prepared. The kit includes a 2" Parker pressure regulator with matched air pressure gauge and a set of universal couplers. Call or email our CSRs today if you would like to order a kit. They can also help you customize the kit with additional fittings and adapters to tie into your system's point of connection.

ANNUAL INVENTORY AT ALL BRANCHES

All Turf Equipment and Supply Company branches will be closed on Tuesday, October 31 so that we can perform our annual physical inventory. We appreciate your patience and understanding so we can serve you even better. Please don't hesitate to give us a call so we can help you plan ahead!
