IRRIGATION SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS
Aquadyne, predominantly in bunkers.
A wide range of quality pumps for irrigation.
Greenkeeper of Sutton Green Golf Club, had tried all the methods of bunker drainage, pipe and gravel, sumps and membrane. None were effective, lasting for only a few years before they failed. Membranes would get caught by bunker bike rakes and ended up ripped and tatty. Gravel was soon coming up to the surface and then getting on to greens. Silt and organic matter quickly migrated through the sand and blocked membranes, in effect acting as a pond liner, resulting in flooded bunkers. After seeing the product at BTME, Nathan decided to give it a trial, initially incorporating pipe and gravel with Aquadyne over the top in the bunkers. This worked but, over time, has now gone to just Aquadyne laid out in a herringbone fashion in the bottom of the bunkers. This allows far greater areas of the bunker to be drained, resulting in very quick drainage and far less work raking and pushing washed sand back up the faces of steep bunkers. Nathan has been using Eco Sand, a mix of GS5 sand and recycled glass, it has worked remarkably well and combined two recycled products into the process, a plus if environmental issues are important to the club said Nathan.
In normal conditions the Aquadyne bunkers cope well, but it is with heavy rain where they come into their own, draining exceptionally well with very little work required to fluff up the sand again. A programme of installing the

extremities of the bunker, moving high volumes of water in very little time.
Duncan also finds that where Aquadyne is the sole drainage in the bunker, linked to a pipe at the edge of the bunker, a sump box constructed by screwing four panels together acts as a great way of joining the herringbone system to the pipe, increasing capacity and acting as an inspection box also. All new bunkers are made with the Aquadyne system and, of the 80 plus existing bunkers, 20% have now been converted to Aquadyne.
product into all the bunkers on the course is about 50% completed to date. Nathan estimates that, before labour, the cost of installation is about £500.00 per bunker, with the added benefit of it being easier to install and less heavy plant being on the golf course. Over at Kings Hill Golf Club, Duncan Kelso has been finding Aquadyne hugely increases drainage potential in bunkers, making the product ideal in large shallow bunkers, especially where there is an existing drain that was laid before the bunker was dug out and there is extremely little fall available. The panels can produce high capacity outfalls. Laid on their side they are only 2” deep requiring a shallow trench to lay in, with only sand being put back over them; no other materials are used. By creating a herringbone design, it is possible to drain all the far
you can avoid the problems with settlement and incursion of sand into the aggregate, improving the life of the soakaway. The benefits, as far as Duncan is concerned, are that it’s a competitively priced solution, with no gravel being used in the bunkers, reduced traffic on the course and far less compaction issues, along with the flexibility of the installation allowing an in house team to complete the work to their own schedule. Not only can the product be

used for bunkers, Aquadyne has proved very successful for draining wet fairways or springs. Using a pedestrian trencher, it is very simple to create some laterals to join up to a ditch or land drain and remove the problem. There are also sometimes hidden benefits to using Aquadyne; such as path edgings where it lasts longer than timber and acts as a path edge drain at the same time, or in bunkers where stone migration into the bunker and onto the fairway is eradicated.
