This is important information for
everyone in the golf and turf industry who has responsibilities
in any of the following areas:
1. Protecting the local environment
and providing a safe work place.
2. Reducing water usage with out detriment to the greens, fairways and
flora.
3. Designing or upgrading of wash pad facilities? 
The
WaterStax is a low cost, low maintenance, environmentally safe way
of treating your wash water for re-use or irrigation. When
used with a well designed wash pad you'll be protecting the
environment and youself from costly contamination clean-up,
fines and personal liability.
Protecting the Environment
I believe everyone wants to protect the environment. Its regulations and fines
that motivate us into action. The unfortunate incident at Manly Lagoon just
highlights the responsibility and liability you
have as an organisation and as the superintendent for protecting the environment.
By incorporating a WaterStax within a well designed, environmentally safe
wash water facility you will have protection and peace of mind.
Using bioremediation technology the
WaterStax breaks down all
the typical contaminant's found in the golf and turf industry
- Hydrocarbons, Petrol, Oils, Grease, Herbicides, Insecticides
and Pesticides - converting
them to harmless H20 (water) and CO2 (carbon dioxide).
Reducing water usage
An average 18 hole golf course can use around 4000 litres a day in wash water.
You may be using more, whatever it is for you is what you can save with the
WaterStax wash water treatment system. This is how much extra water you could
have for keeping the greens and fairways in their best condition. The WaterStax
three stage system cleans your wash water to a level of 'non-potable irrigation
water', where it can be disposed of as stormwater, used for irrigation or
pumped in to your dam or lagoon, as it does at the Kew Golf Course in Victoria.
The WaterStax four stage system cleans to an extra level where you can re-use
the treated wash water through your washing equipment, instead of using fresh
potable water for every wash.

Creating
an Environmentally Safe Wash Facility
When it comes to creating an environmentally safe wash facility we understand
the limitations of budgets and existing systems. We provide samples of wash
pad drawings and tips to help you get the safest, most functional wash facility
possible. If you choose to respond to this article you'll receive a FREE 4-page
guide for the Golf and Turf Industry on How to Set Up an Environmentally Safe
Wash Facility from Landa.
Why WaterStax?
The WaterStax Wash Water Treatment and Recycling System has been made specifically
for the golf and turf industry. Its being used in more than 250 applications
world wide, including the Kew here in Australia.
The WaterStax is the industry benchmark, the one others try and copy because
of its effectiveness and low maintenance
requirements. The WaterStax costs less to maintain and is easier to
maintain because of the way it handles waste. Unlike filtration systems, which
create a residue that must be disposed of properly, the WaterStax uses BioStax
900 - a highly effective blend of microbes that literally consumes and converts
wastes into harmless water and carbon dioxide. It is non-toxic and free of
pathogens, meeting stringent US EPA regulations for biological treatment.
Here's what some users
have to say about WaterStax:
"I've been impressed how much time and money it has already saved us, to
say nothing of the peace of mind knowing we're covered environmentally" -
Michael Quimby, Corporate VP Club Corporation of America
"We are next to a creek. The system is maintenance- free and headache-free.
It is in compliance with our environmental needs" - Bill Parker, Superintendent
Santa Barbara Golf Club
