SPORTS TURF WATERING SOLUTIONS
Automatic sports field irrigation has never been easier! The Micro Rain line of travelers offers a cost effective, portable method for effective sports turf irrigation.
Coaches, landscape managers, and groundskeepers have added pressure these days when it comes to turf maintenance. More emphasis is being placed on turf being properly maintained for looks and to help today's athletes avoid serious injury. It's called proactive management and with the addition of a Micro Rain traveling irrigation system, the results can be significant. These machines are designed to be extremely user friendly, have unparalleled performance, and operate completely unattended. They are a great alternative to in-ground irrigation systems which are typically more expensive, higher maintenance, and have sprinkler heads that often need to be repaired, causing damage to the field. Proven turf management programs that include aeration, fertilization, and a Micro Rain irrigation system with its uniform water applications will ensure your field has a "softer feel" and healthier look.
SETUP STEPS
Setting up the Micro Rain system is quick and simple. The reel is positioned at one end of the field and the sprinkler cart is towed to the opposite end. Only the sprinkler cart travels the field at your desired speed, applying water evenly and preventing any soil compaction. All models are completely turbine driven, utilizing all of the water that enters the system. Shut down is automatic upon completion of an application setting.
