 How does Aqua-PhyD work?
Aqua-PhyD is about physics not chemistry. The technology uses the flow of irrigation water to generate and induce Resonant Frequency Energy (RFE™) into water. This energy is highly conductive in water and soil and releases soil compaction, increases hydraulic conductivity of water in soil, and increases solubility of minerals and nutrient uptake. Plants grow larger roots. This combination means more efficient use of water by plants and turf.
How does Aqua-PhyD affect my water?
Aqua-Phyd has no chemical affect on water. This fact has been confirmed in multiple tests, including one conducted by Dr. Larry Stowell of the Pace Turf Institute. This is important because it confirms that Aqua-PhyD water is chemically just as safe as normal water sources. While it does not have a chemical effect on water, Aqua-PhyD optimizes soil structure and increases mineral and nutrient uptake.
Will Aqua-PhyD work with reclaimed or brackish water?
Absolutely! Reclaimed and brackish water generally have high electro-conductivity (ECw), which makes these water types highly conductive for Aqua-PhyD’s resonant frequency energy (RFE™). In early tests we observed reduction of salts and chlorides in reclaimed and run-off water after repeated passes through the Aqua-PhyD system. This application proved unnecessary given the impact of Aqua-PhyD’s RFE™ on soil.
Can I measure the Aqua-PhyD RFE™?
A high impedance well grounded electronic instrument, such as a spectrum analyzer, provides the most accurate measurement of the energy which is induced into water by Aqua-PhyD's technology. We routinely measure the effectiveness of our systems in the field.
Where is the system installed?
The AQUA-PHYD system is installed in the main water line which is usually located in the golf course pump house.
Who does the installation?
AQUA-PHYD contracts with licensed pumping and retro-fitting professionals for the installation which is supervised by the AQUA-PHYD technical team. Each installation is in concert with the course Superintendent and follows his recommended schedule.
How long does it take to install the AQUA-PHYD system?
Between four and six hours, under normal conditions.
How do I place an order?
Contact an Authorized AQUA-PHYD Agent in your area, or fill out the Contact Us form on the AQUA-PHYD website. You will receive a reply within 48 hours. Or, you may call us direct at: 949-444-8896 or 949-294-7393.
How long will it take before I see results?
Each course is different. The type of soil and water will determine the length of time before change is noted. Reduced compaction occurs within a week or two.
How much will I save on water use?
Water savings vary but on average the course will save between 15% and 25% on their water usage and total irrigation expenses.
What if my soil is mostly clay?
If a course has high clay content, the AQUA-PHYD system is a must have. Especially, if reclaimed or recycled water is used. AQUA-PHYD has proven to be the only non-chemical system available that is successful in breaking down clay and allowing it to retain moisture.
What is involved in the service?
The service is provided through contract with leading experts in soil, turf, and water management and includes semi-annual water and soil tests, review of soil health and nutrient uptake, water usage, and plant analysis.
Is the system safe?
It is non-chemical, non-membrane and environmentally friendly.
How often does the system have to be replaced?
The system will last on average five years.
Does AQUA-PHYD work with Fertigation systems?
Yes, in fact if the AQUA-PHYD system is installed ahead of the Fertigation injection system the conditioned water will make the injected fertilizer more efficient during application providing additional benefits and savings to the golf course.
Is there a representative for AQUA-PHYD in my area?
AQUA-PHYD has independent representatives. To find out if there is one near you, please call or email.
