Capillary Hydroponics is a sophisticated yet user-friendly automated subsurface irrigation and drainage system that supports a more efficient growth of grass than what can be achieved with overhead technology. Here is how it works.

The constantly changing water table, coupled with the presence of sand in the root zone and the absence of organics, ensures the even moisturization of the root zone, promoting deep root establishment, and reducing the likelihood of dry spots on the turf’s surface.
The Capillary Hydroponics system efficiently distributes irrigation water from below, minimizing surface water evaporation and enabling the collection and reuse of rainwater. Overall, it consumes up to 85% less water than traditional irrigation methods

By heating or cooling the rootzone with the irrigation water
Capillary Geothermal utilizes the heat or cool stored in the ground profile to heat the irrigation water. By circulating it in the ground profile before distributing it to the root zone, grass growth can be improved during warmer and cooler seasons, and sudden freezes or other grass damage can be mitigated.
Capillary Hydroponics frees golf course staff from tedious maintenance and costly renovations, providing lasting benefits for decades
By providing everything grass needs to grow strong from below, large savings can be realized
As the system promotes more efficient grass growth and has optimal greens draiange, common maintenance practices such as deep loosening, core aeration, verticutting, slitting, and top dressing can be performed less frequently.
Efficient distribution of fertilizers and pesticides via the subsurface system with virtually no leaching, lowers the materials and inputs needed, as well as environmental footprint.
Our below-surface irrigation minimizes evaporation, saving up to 83% water in consumption by only providing irrigation from below.
By moving water laterally, we can reduce carbon dioxide and increase oxygen in the root zone. This achieves a 6,000% higher gas exchange than overhead irrigation, yielding durable, traffic-resistant grass.
