TECHLINE CV
IN TURF
• Wood hardscapes:
– Bleaching of hardscapes such as wooden fences is eliminated
– Aesthetics of the wood hardscapes is maintained
• Steep slopes:
– Allows turf to be used on slopes
– Water is easily managed on slopes with dripperline
– Wash outs are eliminated
• Locales where the cost of water is too expensive for overhead irrigation:
• Unlike spray or rotor irrigation, which does not have an even application rate across its pattern,
Techline CV has an extremely well-balanced application rate in the entire area. As such, you do not
need to overwater to make sure the driest area receives enough water.
– Techline CV uses about half of the water of an overhead system
– Techline CV is about 90% efficient vs. overhead irrigation, which is about 60% efficient
• Techline CV seals in 1.3 gallons of water for every 100', saving water from draining out of the
dripperline each time the zone shuts off.
• Water window issues:
– Irrigate whenever necessary because there is no exposed spray
• Recycled/reclaimed water or fertigation applications where spraying water is illegal:
– Allows for use of nutrient-rich water, often at a greatly reduced cost
– Saves potable water supplies
TIPS FOR USING TECHLINE CV IN A NEWLY-SODDED LAWN:
• Follow Table 1 General Guidelines recommendations for turf,
see pages 5, 27 or 39.
• Bury the Techline CV approximately 4” below final grade
• In areas where mechanical aeration will be used, bury the Techline CV 6” below final grade and
ensure aeration does not exceed 4"
• When installing the sod:
– It is important that the final grade is smooth, ensuring that the sod makes solid contact with the soil
– Properly “knit” the edges together
– Thoroughly wet the sod with overhead irrigation
– Roll the sod to ensure good contact
• If the irrigation system is automatic:
– Set the zone to run several times daily
– Keep wetted from above as necessary until the roots establish
• Once you cannot pull the edges of the sod up, discontinue overhead watering
• Irrigate on a daily or every-other-day basis
• Protection against root intrusion
– For years of trouble-free system performance, and a limited lifetime warranty against root intrusion,
use Netafim Techfilter with Techline CV,
see pages 29 - 33.
