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.

Our proprietary Capillary Material maintains flat and level tee boxes for years by preventing the ground from settling and particles migrating, thus significantly reducing the need for renovations.
Capillary Hydroponics has been proven to use up to 83% less water than overhead irrigation systems, according to independent research. This makes it a perfect choice for arid regions with stringent water consumption limits.

The system precisely irrigates only the desired area, improving ease of tee alignment, while simultaneously reducing over-watering in tee surroundings.
Capillary Hydroponics frees golf course staff from tedious maintenance and costly renovations, providing lasting benefits for decades
The Capillary Hydroponics system preserves the turf area’s original design, minimizing the need for reshaping tees every decade. Additionally, by providing a consistently level base, the Capillary Material reduces the frequency of top dressing or renovations required.
Our system is optimized for growing stronger and more wear-tolerant turfgrass, allowing for a smaller tee surface area while maintaining the highest quality playing surface.
Our hydroponic tee box takes the same amount of time to install as a conventionally constructed tee box. So, feel free to install one or several per year!
Our tee box construction technology is superior to conventional methods
At CapillaryFlow, we stand behind the quality and performance of our installed tees, offering a 15-year performance guarantee for our Capillary Material and 3-year guarantee for our basin.

Avoid freeze-thaw damage and improve grass quality in warmer seasons
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.
By irrigating from below, you won’t need to worry about specific sand mixes such as the USGA’s sand mix for tee boxes. Since moisture-holding capacity in the root zone won’t be a concern any more, we can have a completely sand-based root zone. This enables rapid drainage and reduces ground settling over time.

Capillary Hydroponics is a tee construction method that reimagines the traditional method by incorporating a layered structure of materials such as the Capillary Material, drainage gravel, and a sand-based root zone. The system irrigates turfgrass from below using a proprietary hydroponic basin.
