Keeping Turf Cool

HydroChill® is a product designed to enhance the cooling capabilities of artificial turf surfaces, particularly in hot weather conditions. 

HydroChill has achieved 30°F – 50°F lower surface temperatures compared to a standard synthetic lawn surface.

Here are some benefits of using HydroChill for artificial turf:

  • Temperature Reduction: One of the primary benefits of HydroChill is its ability to reduce the temperature of artificial turf by spraying a fine mist of water over the surface. This mist evaporates quickly, creating a cooling effect that can help lower the temperature of the turf by several degrees. This is especially beneficial in hot climates where artificial turf can become uncomfortably hot.

  • Improved Comfort: The cooling effect provided by HydroChill makes the artificial turf more comfortable to walk, play, or relax on during hot days. This can be particularly important for activities like sports, picnics, or simply enjoying outdoor spaces.
  • Extended Usage Hours: With HydroChill, the artificial turf remains cooler for longer periods, allowing for extended usage hours throughout the day. This is especially advantageous for recreational facilities, sports fields, and public spaces where people want to utilize the area even during peak sun hours.
  • Minimal Water Usage: While HydroChill uses water to create its cooling effect, the water mist is fine and evaporates quickly, requiring less water than traditional irrigation systems. This makes it relatively water-efficient compared to other cooling methods.
  • Environmentally Friendly: HydroChill’s water-efficient design and cooling properties make it a more environmentally friendly option for keeping artificial turf cool, compared to alternatives that might require excessive water usage or energy-intensive cooling systems.
  • Low Maintenance: HydroChill systems are generally low maintenance and can be integrated into existing irrigation systems. Once set up, they require minimal intervention, making them a convenient choice for maintaining comfortable artificial turf surfaces.
  • Longer Turf Lifespan: Extreme heat can degrade the materials used in artificial turf over time. By maintaining cooler temperatures, HydroChill can potentially contribute to extending the lifespan of the artificial turf by reducing the effects of heat-related deterioration.
