Turf-Tec Infiltrometer. Now, for the first time, a field instrument to measure the rate of water infiltration on all turfgrass areas. This instrument determines the downward flow of water through the turf and soil.
Turf-Tec has finally answered the age old question, "How do I determine Infiltration rate?"  The Turf-Tec Infiltrometer is simple to operate and easy to use!  Determine infiltration rate in as little as fifteen minutes.

Now, for the first time, a field instrument to measure the rate of water infiltration on all areas. This instrument determines the downward flow of water through the turf and soil.

Elapsed time indicator makes it possible to correlate irrigation time to the infiltration rate of your turf. Record keeping of infiltrometer readings can aid in keeping track of significant changes in water percolation.

Has double ring accuracy.  The Infiltrometer has been used by 100's of Colleges, Universities and Governmental agencies.  Trusted, reliable and made to last.

Another First from Turf-Tec International

Now utilized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and some states Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for measuring urban runoff for storm water soil evaluations.  Note: some states might require 6" and 12" rings or 12" and 24" Infiltration rings (ASTM 3385) as regulations change from state to state - If larger rings are required, the Turf-Tec Infiltrometer is still very useful in "qualifying" the site that all soils are alike (confirmatory testing) and have consistent infiltration rates, allowing fewer large infiltration tests to be performed on larger test sites.

Simple to operate! Easy to use! Determine infiltration rate in as little as fifteen minutes. A field instrument to measure the rate of water infiltration on all turfgrass areas. This instrument determines the downward flow of water through the turf and soil. Turf-Tec Infiltrometer can be use in testing percolation pits and for engineering firms and for stormwater evaluation. Elapsed time indicator makes it possible to correlate irrigation time to the infiltration rate of your turf. Record keeping of Infiltrometer readings can aid in keeping track of significant changes in water percolation.

  The EPA has also used the Turf-Tec Infiltrometer to replicate ASTM Specifications in tests for urban runoff
Infiltration Through Disturbed Urban Soils and Compost-Amended Soil Effects on Runoff Quality and Quantity
See Section 2-7

The Pennsylvania DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) has also used the Turf-Tec Infiltrometer to be used as possible support for confirmatory testing for stormwater and soil evaluation and for Infiltration BMP's Design Guidelines however, they prefer the IN8-W Infiltration rings.
