Golf Courses &
Sports Turf Filtration
Automatic self-cleaning screen filtration for golf course and sports turf irrigation, protecting sprinklers and drip lines from dam, recycled and bore water solids.
The Filter Is the Only Thing Awake at 2am
A golf course irrigates in the dark, unattended, inside a watering window that cannot be extended. Whatever the pump station draws from - a storage dam, a recycled water main, a bore - arrives carrying algae, silt, sand and organic matter, and every gram of it is heading for a sprinkler nozzle. Nobody is standing at the filter to notice when it blinds.
The cost does not show up as a filter problem. It shows up the next morning as dry patches on a green, as distribution uniformity that has quietly dropped, as hand watering to cover what the nozzles no longer reach, and eventually as a crew pulling and cleaning heads. Filtaworx automatic self-cleaning filters backwash on differential pressure in seconds, without stopping irrigation, so the watering window stays intact and the solids never reach the nozzle.
The same duty runs on sports fields, racecourses and public recreation grounds, and Filtaworx filters are installed on more than 500 golf courses in Australia and on venues worldwide.
Golf & Sports Turf Irrigation Challenges
Algae and Silt in the Source
Dam, lake and recycled water carries algae, silt and organic matter straight to sprinkler nozzles and drip emitters.
Nobody Watching Overnight
Irrigation runs unattended in a short window, so a blocked filter is only found when greens show dry patches the next morning.
Distribution Uniformity Lost
Partially blocked nozzles throw unevenly, forcing hand watering and over-watering to cover the dry areas.
Daily Manual Cleaning
Cleaning screens at the pump station takes greenkeeping staff away from course work, often every day through summer.
Algae Blooms Without Warning
Seasonal blooms in storage dams spike solids loading overnight, outrunning any fixed cleaning schedule.
Remote Pump Stations
Pump stations sit away from the shed with limited power and no operator present during the cycle.
Filtaworx on Golf Courses and Sports Turf
Automatic screen filtration at the pump station, sized to the smallest emitter on the system.
The Watering Window Stays Whole
Continuous automatic backwash cleans the screen without stopping irrigation, so no part of the night is lost to maintenance.
Cleaning on Demand, Not on Schedule
Differential-pressure triggered backwash responds to actual solids loading, so an algae bloom is handled the same night it arrives.
Uniformity Held Across the Course
A consistent filtration degree protects nozzle and emitter passages, keeping distribution uniformity steady across greens, tees and fairways.
Matched to the Smallest Emitter
Screens from 50 to 3000 micron let the filtration degree be set by the finest passage on the system rather than by what is on the shelf.
Low Flush Volume
Short flush cycles return most of the water to the course instead of to drain, which matters on recycled and allocated supply.
Built for Unattended Duty
Suits remote pump stations and sports field plant rooms, taking the daily manual clean out of the greenkeeping routine.
Proven at Scale
Australian designed and manufactured, with filters running on more than 500 golf courses in Australia and installations worldwide.
