Golf & Turf

Do you have poor drainage? Does water stand on your turf? Do you have black layer algae? Does your course have sodium crust?

Does your turf look like this?

The two pictures above are the same green 68 days apart. The left picture was taken first; the picture on the right was taken after treating the green for 68 days with ozonated & oxygenated water.

According to a study done at Adobe Creek National Golf Course, the use of ozone in irrigation water will increase percolation by 400%, eliminating standing water, black layer algae, and sodium crust.
Eliminate Calcium & Acid Injection – Get the positive results that calcium and acid deliver but without the chemicals and additives. We create ozone & oxygen onsite, so it’s safer and easier for our customers, and saves you time and money.

Do you want to know how we do it?

Again, we use ozone & oxygen gas, but it’s not just its oxidizing potential that affects the turf.

It’s the increase in dissolved oxygen that’s being diffused in you irrigation water and in your soil. This does two things:

  1. Ozone will eliminate the bicarbonates in your water. So those bicarbonates won’t be there to suppress positively charged ions (i.e. calcium) in the soil.
  2. When the turf is irrigated with highly oxygenated water it releases positively charged ions (i.e. calcium) in the soil. This will lower your soil’s Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and create the following effects:
    • Increased percolation
    • Allows salts to leech through
    • Eliminates sodium crust

Essentially, we are intensely aerating your turf using your irrigation water.

Do you want to eliminate water and soil troubles while saving money?

Our equipment is a non-chemical soil and water treatment system. It uses the same science as many classic water and turf culture practices like aeration, calcium and acids injection, algaecide, wetting agents, sulfur burning etc.

The difference is, our system is installed at your pump station and used daily in your irrigation. Our system requires no chemicals or additives. Our system works with all types of water, whether it is well, reclaimed, city, or brackish.

In aeration, the removal of plugs allows oxygen to get into soil and helps to lower compaction. Our system is increasing the dissolved oxygen going into the soil, thereby freeing up more calcium and opening up the soil for greater percolation and root growth.

Our customers see a 15% savings in water. The use of our system has a natural wetting agent effect, saving our customers thousands of dollars a year.
Advantages of Ozone & CO2
• Eliminates algae
• Eliminates black layer
• Eliminates Bryozoan
• Eliminates foul odors
• Allows greater percolation
• Increases root depth
• Reduces fertilizer & pesticides
• Kills fungus & bacteria
• Adds oxygen to soil
• Lowers pH
• Reduces aeration

Pictured above are roots of tomato seedlings after being grown in oxygenated nutrient solution for two weeks. The dissolved oxygen concentrations of the nutrient solution are 8, 20, 30 and 40 ppm from right to left.

According to Mohyuddin Mirza, Ph.D., P.Ag., a Greenhouse Industry Development Specialist, “Increasing the dissolved oxygen levels in water especially at higher temperature, e.g. 68F, should be beneficial to the root zone. The following advantages may be expected:

  • Better root health, which will promote better absorption of nutrients,
  • Reduced incidence of diseases,
  • Better plant quality.”

When your roots absorb nutrients better, you can use less fertilizer. When ozone comes into contact with iron and manganese it will chelate them, making them more biologically available.

Do your sprinkler heads have algae?

Mountain High Water will eliminate sprinkler head algae with our ozone & oxygen diffusion system.

According to the EPA, ozone will eliminate bacteria, fungi, viruses, and spores. Without these, algae cannot exist, saving you thousands of dollars a year in lake treatments, algaecide, and insect control.
These two sprinkler heads were removed from a working golf course. The head on the left was untreated, while the head on the right was treated with ozone. Note, both were distributing reclaimed water from the same source.
