The SubAir System - Great Sports Infra

The SubAir System
The SubAir aeration and moisture removal system
promotes healthier and stronger playing surfaces
through moisture content management, subsurface
aeration, and root zone temperature control. As a result,
SubAir provides optimum aerobic subsurface growing conditions.
SubAir is integrated underground with no impact on the design of the golf course.
A SubAir Elite vault, housing the blower that provides both vacuum and
pressure mode, is
connected to the green’s
drainage piping network.
Elite Vault
A Distributed Separator is
connected to the green’s
drainage network. This
patented assembly
separates the air from the
water so that the air flows
to the SubAir vault and the
water drains to the outfall.
A Dual Valve is used on the
end of each outfall to create an air lock. This directs the air through the
soil profile so it does not escape through an open ended pipe.
The SubAir system applies a vacuum within the subsoil drainage pipe
network to increase the rate at which water is moved from the surface
and through the soil profile. The management of subsoil moisture also
helps with temperature moderation in the entire soil profile.
(Above - Dual Valve interior in vacuum mode)
In vacuum mode, SubAir routes air to the
blower and water to a drainage area for
moisture control.
SubAir also applies pressure to force air from the subsoil pipes through
the soil profile. This patented technology creates air movement that
provides aeration while moderating temperature in the root zone.
The Distributed Separator and the Dual Valve are components of the SubAir Operation Package . These
components are also used to operate the SubAir portable system, the Air Force One.
(Above - Dual Valve interior in pressure mode)
During pressure mode, the SubAir unit moves
air upward through the soil.

How the SubAir System Operates
The best location for the SubAir vault is at the high end of the green. The elevation
forces the air to flow uphill to the SubAir unit and allows gravity to drain water down to
the outfall. In vacuum mode, air and water are moved downward through the soil
into the drainage pipes. Once the air and water enter the pipe, gravity moves the water
down to the outfall and the SubAir moves the air to the back of the green and out
through the SubAir exhaust. Installation typically takes one day per unit and can
be accomplished with minimal disruption of play.

SubAir Planning & Installation
Since the SubAir system can be installed on
a progressive basis, many clubs begin their
SubAir turf maintenance routine by
installing the SubAir Operation
Package ((distributed separator, dual
valve, and AC-6 ) on one, a few, or
all of their greens.
Adding

problematic greens. By using
the Air Force One and learning
how it benefits troubled areas, the next progression is to install an Elite (a
SubAir permanent system) on problem greens. The Air Force One is then
free to be moved around the course
for regular aeration of the remaining
greens. As the budget allows, SubAir
Elites can be added, two or three each
year, to the rest of the golf course.
SubAir Project Managers can assist in
long range planning and strategy to
ensure smooth installation over an
extended time period.
To install SubAir, the course will need

The Hydronics System
For grass plants to thrive they need certain
conditions. An optimum growing
environment consists of the proper amount
of sun, proper air/water ratios and proper soil
temperatures. The Hydronics system can
provide heating or cooling to maintain ideal
root zone temperatures by pumping warm
or cool fluid from the holding tank to the
green via a supply pipe. The fluid circulates
under the root zone of the green through a
network of flexible tubing. The working fluid
is then returned to the holding tank.
The Hydronics turf temperature control
system consists of several important pieces
of equipment - a boiler, chiller, chiller pump,
green pump, holding tank, temperature and
pressure instrumentation, and control
enclosure. Each system is skid mounted with

The AirWave Monitoring & Control System
Remotely monitor the agronomic impact of
SubAir to achieve optimal turf conditions with
the AirWave wireless monitoring and control
system. AirWave features and options include
simultaneously controlling each SubAir
system, scheduling SubAir operation time and
duration, and optimizing SubAir performance
based on sensor readings and user specified
target conditions. Add wireless dual layer
sensors to your AirWave system to monitor
soil temperature, moisture, and salt levels
at two separate depths in the soil profile.
Sensors can also be installed to monitor tee
boxes, fairways, flower beds, or other areas of
interest .
The data collected by the sensors is
transmitted back to the base computer via the
SubAir control panel and/or AirWave
repeaters. The need for repeaters is
determined by course topography and
distance.
At the base station, real-time data collected
by the sensors is used by AirWave to optimize
operational
parameters. Sensor
data (logged at 5
minute intervals)
can be viewed on
historical data plots
to provide a clear
picture of the
impact of agronomic
practices, natural
phenomena, and
weather events on
turf conditions.
The AirWave Sensor is installed
in the green with a standard cup
cutter. Soil data is collected by the
sensors and transmitted back to
the computer base via the Sub Air
Control Panel and AirWave
Repeaters. At the base station,
the real-time data collected by
the sensors is used to optimize the

There are SubAir systems on 19 greens and
Ken Lapp, Superintendent
one tee. All are controlled by the AirWave
wireless monitoring and control system with AirWave soil sensors on holes number 16 and number 4.
In addition, they have four TurfBreeze fans located in areas with poor air circulation.
When Cog Hill began its renovation of their Dubsdread Course in 2007, owner Frank Jemsek chose to
include SubAir on every green. Superintendent Ken Lapp has been in golf course maintenance for 55
years and has been impressed by the technology he now uses daily to maintain his greens. “Naturally
we use SubAir when we have heavy rains. It takes the water right off. Then, when we want to firm
up the greens we use it as a tool for that. We can use it whenever we need it, but we also have them
running on an intermittent schedule,” explains Lapp.
Cog Hill’s SubAir system is controlled by AirWave. “The AirWave has really surprised me. This
technology has really helped out. We have AirWave soil sensors on two greens – number 16 and
number 4. On these greens I can tell what my moisture level is and the soil temperature. I think it’s a
valuable tool and I wouldn’t mind seeing AirWave sensors on all the greens. During the summer, and
especially this summer, I was looking at it (AirWave monitoring screens) everyday just to see where we
were.”
Lapp is also very satisfied with SubAir’s customer service. “The units were put in during the rebuilding
of the greens by the golf course construction company under SubAir’s supervision. Before construction
began, a SubAir Project Manager laid out all the spots where the vaults would be installed. He has
been there to help me learn the best ways to use the system. And with the SubAir Service and Support
Package, he comes annually and checks every green and runs tests on everything to make sure there is
no trouble at all. SubAir’s customer service has been tremendous!”
“I can definitely tell a difference between now and before SubAir was installed,” praises Lapp.
“Especially when you get a rain, you turn it on and the water is sucked right out of the greens, gets the
players out faster!”
Cog Hill has been attracting golfers since 1927. Located in the Des Plaines River Valley 30 miles
southwest of Chicago, the Club has four courses including the world famous Dubsdread Course.

The TurfBreeze Benefit
Promoting a healthier turf
environment through improved
air circulation and the alleviation
of heat stress are the primary
reasons most golf course
superintendents use fans on their
greens. Solar heat can have a
devastating effect on turfgrass.

putting surface. Fan use can
lower the surface temperature of
a green up to 10° Fahrenheit, which in turn, lowers the soil temperature
approximately 4° to 6° F. Fan use increases turfgrass transpiration, cooling
the plant internally and keeping it healthier overall. As an added benefit,
TurfBreeze fans can be used to evaporate excess moisture from heavy
morning dew. Although thinning trees works best, fans have shown
to improve the quality of shaded greens. TurfBreeze will assist you in
planning fan size, quantity, and placement to best suit the needs of your
course.
TurfBreeze Premium at The Patriot Club, Owasso, Oklahoma
“I chose the TurfBreeze
Premium Fan based on
its efficiency and its lower
noise level compared
to the bigger 7.5 HP

Carolina

TurfBreeze Planning
Size
Fans are rated in CFM (cubic feet per
minute) at a specific static pressure.
Similar to sprinkler heads, fan size must
provide adequate energy to offer
sufficient velocity at the furthest point
from the fan.
Quantity
Charlotte, North Carolina
Fans can be discreetly hidden
in tree lines and silhouetted
against a background.
The general rule of thumb is one fan per
green. One large fan always works better
than two
or more smaller fans. Even for deeply
pocketed greens, one fan will suffice,
but you may need to choose a fan with
a higher CFM to provide adequate air
movement over the entire surface.
Placement
Fans can be discreetly hidden in tree
lines and silhouetted against a
background. Even though fans are
usually quieter than a homeowner’s air
conditioning system, it is best to keep
fans as far as possible from patios and porches as the predominant fan
“sound path” is from the inlet to outlet. Set the oscillation range as short
as possible to achieve the best coverage. If the oscillator is set at half of
the maximum range, twice the amount of air reaches the green.
Optimally, a fan should be positioned horizontal to the green with
a 30° cone of air catching the edge of the green closest to the fan.
Placing a TurfBreeze Order
With the high demand during warm weather, the best time to order your
TurfBreeze product is during fall, winter, or early spring. TurfBreeze
encourages early orders so that fans can be delivered, properly installed
and ready to operate prior to the arrival of hot, humid weather.

“I can’t find the words to describe
the great customer service. As soon
as you place an order the ball is
rolling. The entire team has been
tremendous to work with. We’ve
had no issues at all!”
Matthew Warton, Superintendent
Matthew Wharton,
Superintendent at Carolina Golf Club in Charlotte, North Carolina,
became interested in TurfBreeze fans simply because of their size.
“I saw some TurfBreeze fans on another course in Charlotte and was
impressed by how big they were,” explains Wharton.
In 2008, Carolina Golf Club underwent a total restoration. Because of the new course configuration,
Wharton made advance arrangements for the purchase and installation of two TurfBreeze fans. A
TurfBreeze representative visited the course and determined locations for the best performance and
minimal visibility. “We completed the grow-in and the fans helped tremendously.”
The wet summer of 2009 forced Wharton to acquire one additional fan for Carolina Golf Club. “I had issues
with our first green that year because of numerous severe thunderstorms. It was definitely our worst
putting surface and we decided a fan would solve any similar issues in future years.” Again Matthew
contacted his TurfBreeze representative and together they determined the location for maximum
performance. The fan was installed just prior to the summer of 2010.
The summer of 2010 put Wharton’s fans to the test and before its end, Carolina Golf Club would purchase
five more TurfBreeze fans. “The combination of heat and humidity, the consistency of it with no relief at
night led to the severe decline of five greens. I had fans on three greens and by mid-July they were the
three best conditioned putting surfaces on the course. I went to the Board and received approval to buy
five more fans. We were able to quickly get four of them installed and operational in less than two weeks.
I was able to see visible turf improvement in less than a week. Unfortunately we had issues getting power
to the fifth location and were not able to get the final fan operational until mid-September. The
immediate improvement of the four greens while the fifth continued to suffer for another six weeks put the
final stamp of approval on the importance of our fans.”
Wharton continues to illustrate how much he has come to rely on his TurfBreeze fans. “This year the
weather was so bad even the putting greens located in ideal growing environments declined to a point
where the greens with fans looked better. Our number 16 green is in a less than ideal location and this
year it was the best conditioned putting surface on the course. Plus our number one green went from
being the worst putting surface in 2009 to one of the best in 2010.”
The Carolina Golf Club is located in Charlotte, NC. Matthew Wharton, a native of Castlewood,
Virginia, is a graduate of Virginia Tech. He has been the Golf Course Superintendent at Carolina Golf
Club since 2005.

“After putting the
fan on the green, we
cut down our water
usage, we cut down our
fungicide usage, and,
we cut down
our stress level. “
Mike Kroeze,
Four years ago Superintendent Mike Kroeze
Superintendent
was advised by the USGA to purchase a fan
to improve a historically bad green at Kings
River Golf and Country Club. “We purchased three TurfBreeze fans for our three worst greens,” says
Kroeze, “and as the saying goes, our worst greens became our best greens.”
Explains Kroeze, “Prior to the fans there was a considerable amount of disease, we were spraying one to
two times per week throughout the summer months. Our course has a lot of mature trees which limits
air flow creating micro-climates for several of our greens. They seem to really hold on to the heat. Poor
turf density, along with being the first to show signs of disease, was the norm for these greens versus
the others with adequate air flow. Historically, they would always recover the worst – from ball-mark
damage, from foot traffic, and ultimately from summer stress. After putting the fan on the green,
we cut down our water usage, we cut down our fungicide usage, and, we cut down our stress level.
Ultimately it was just a win-win and our members noticed. On one green which was a par 3, it was not
uncommon for balls to plug on the green during the summer. But after we were able to install the fan,
the green was firmer. We were able to manage our water a lot better by installing the fan. We didn’t
have the plugging effect like we did before.”
Kroeze likes the flexibility of being able to manipulate his fan usage according to the weather forecast.
He sets simple timers to turn the fans on and off, usually running them between 9-10 hours per day. “I
tend to turn them on when I know the temperature is rising. It will be 103-106 (degrees) on an average
day from mid June to early September. If the humidity is really bad, then I will run them during the
night.” For the first time this year, Kroeze plans to leave his fans up during the winter to evaluate
getting the golfers out earlier on mornings when frost is present.
“The TurfBreeze customer service team does a great job of getting me what I need ASAP – anything
from order acknowledgements to schematics and,” laughs Kroeze, “their Southern charm is the icing on
the cake!”
The Kings River Golf and Country Club is located in Kingsburg, California. The club is a private,
member-owned 18- hole championship golf course. It opened in 1955 and was designed by

Cedar Ridge
Golf Club
SubAir and TurfBreeze
Adding Pieces to the Puzzle
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
Mike Wooten, Superintendent at Cedar
Ridge Golf Course in Broken Arrow, OK
learned about TurfBreeze from a fellow
superintendent in his area. Wooten
was already the owner of 14 fans, but
none were TurfBreeze. He now owns
one TurfBreeze fan.
“The TurfBreeze fan seems to push more air. It seems
like the TurfBreeze fan reaches out farther.”
Mike Wooten, Superintendent
Wooten has seen a comparison
between his fans. “The TurfBreeze fan
seems to push more air. It seems like
the TurfBreeze fan reaches out farther. It really seems like it puts out more (air).”
Wooten explains, “A TurfBreeze representative came out and we talked about the fans themselves
and then we talked about the electrical wire sizing. He also set the locations. Six of our previously
purchased fans were made by a local person and TurfBreeze was also able to retro-fit these old fans
with oscillators.”
“We are looking at new placements closer to the greens because fans have become much more accepted
by the members. I believe you could place the fan right in the middle of the green and have it oscillate
360 degrees and they would accept it now,” jokes Wooten.
The two processes - SubAir and TurfBreeze - are
different, and yet both beneficial in their own way.
SubAir is used primarily for good gas exchange in the soil and to create
optimum air/water ratios in the soil profile. TurfBreeze fans are designed
to improve surface conditions. The two processes together help provide
the best possible conditions for growth and survival of a plant species in
very challenging conditions. Clubs using both SubAir and TurfBreeze are
proactive in their approach, using different tools to extend the life of the
greens and ensure that not only do they survive, but they are the
championship caliber that their members expect.
“August is our worst month for bentgrass in Dallas with the roots shrinking up to
almost nothing. The putting green is our worst green because it’s small and gets a lot
of traffic. SubAir has been in use the last two summers and it has been one of our better
greens since. Every summer before the SubAir was installed we would close the green
for a couple of weeks each summer, but not anymore. It’s also important to note that
we installed TurfBreeze fans on this green at the same time.“
Kevin Carpenter, Superintendent, The Northwood Club, Dallas, Texas
Wooten discusses how he uses fans in his turf maintenance routine. “We set them up usually the third
week of June following the club’s member guest tournament and take the fans in for the winter, right
after Labor Day. If we can ever get them out earlier we will. We run them all day – 24 hours per day.
Ninety-nine percent of the time, once they get turned on, they don’t get turned off until we bring them
in.”
Wooten adds, “The fan works great – no problems. It just seems like the TurfBreeze does more. All the
guys that have called me about fans, I’ve told them, they ought to be dealing with TurfBreeze!”
The golf course at Cedar Ridge Country Club was designed by Joe Finger in 1967 and is described
as one of the country’s finest. Cedar Ridge has hosted many outstanding national and regional
tournaments.
