TempLine removable synthetic turf paint TempLine water-based paints are easy to apply and remove, with outstanding brightness, opacity, play durability and weather resistance in between. TempLine paint is available in three grades, depending on your needs for extended durability versus short-term utility and ease of removal. All three grades come ready to use in a broad range of colors formulated to dry fast and stay flexible without binding together turf fibers or infill granules. TempLine paints are also valued for the brightness and durability they provide without creating heavy build-up. TempLine Turf Paints and Removers are formulated to work together as a highly efficient marking and removal system, especially when used with the TempLine Mantis Extractor. Eco Chemical John Deere Dense Turf rotary turf brush & 14 blade reel John Deere Golf has launched the Dense Turf (DT) Rotary Brush and 14 Blade Reel. The new 14 Blade Reel lowers the frequency of clip by reducing the distance traveled between consecutive cuts of reel blades. The 14 Blade Reel is available now for Quick Adjust 5 (QA5) cutting units, and the 180SL and 220SL Walk Greens Mowers. The DT Rotary Turf Brush has an exclusive helix design for mounting the bristles that is similar to the blades of a reel. This design assures more consistent turf engagement and enables the brush to more effectively stand up more grass—without having to increase brush depth. The DT brush is ideal for dense-turf varieties of warm season turf grasses, and can also be used with cool-season varieties. John Deere Golf Netafim Techline CV dripline for slopes With built-in check valves in each emitter to prevent low head drainage, Netafim Techline CV dripline offers a water-saving solution for irrigating landscapes with elevation changes, such as slopes and low lying areas. Techline CV check valves hold back up to 4.6' of water, which means water stays in the tubing when the irrigation is turned off and does not flow down to lower elevations. With check valves, Techline CV emitters turn on and off at the same time, balancing the irrigation coverage. Dripline systems without check valves can lose up to 1.3 gallons of water per 100 feet, resulting in plant damage or slippery surfaces. With advanced features that ensure reliable performance, Techline CV includes built-in physical root barriers in each emitter to prevent root intrusion. All emitters also have an anti-siphon design that inhibits dirt and debris from entering the tubing.

SipcamAdvan Technomad's all-inclusive, outdoor audio solution Houston-area systems design and integration firm Covenant Communications has gradually transformed sports audio for the Alvin School District in southern Texas in recent years, installing Technomad advanced audio loudspeakers across baseball and softball fields, a large football stadium and other athletic venues to improve quality and coverage. Covenant Communications extended those audio benefits to the new batting cages at Manvel High School this spring, injecting fresh energy into the arduous drill of batting practice. The Technomad solution here covers all the bases, bringing together two full-range loudspeakers, an outdoor amplifier and a flexible audio control system. All components are completely weatherproof for protection against the heat, humidity and moisture of the harsh coastal-area climate. Technomad LLC AirDrain synthetic turf drainage AirField Systems AirDrain synthetic turf drainage doubles as a 100% vertical drainage layer and shock pad. The company says it provides a 14.7% reduction in Gmax over a cement/asphalt sub-base, and an 18.9% reduction in GMAX over compacted gravel sub-base. Whether installed on an aggregate sub-base, concrete or asphalt the AirDrain for Synthetic Turf drainage helps provide you with consistent Gmax and shock attenuation properties which are a major contributor to the reduction of concussions and the safety of your players. Some factors that might influence a change in GMAX would be an inconsistency of the infill or wear of the synthetic turf fibers. Unlike traditional shock pads or e-layers the AirDrain is 1" high, has a 92% air void and a vertical and lateral drainage rate which cannot be matched by any other product in the industry.
