H2Air -

Our shatter knife technology combined with our patented planetary motion creates pore space throughout your root zone, eliminating compaction.

Our patented coring tine technology combined with our patented planetary motion cuts clean cores at the surface and shatters the soil below. This promotes better soil structure with less cleanup.

Maximizes water infiltration rates by allowing water to penetrate the soil profile at a faster rate.

Creates excellent air exchange for healthier turf. Creates a looser soil structure that enhances plant recovery and stimulates turf growth.

PlanetAir’s “high density” hole pattern combined with our patented planetary motion allows you to achieve the most intense aeration in the industry.

The decision was made to do more frequent aeration on the greens through the summer and autumn. We invested in the revolutionary PlanetAir slicing machine which was brought in at the beginning of December 2009. The first time we put it across our greens we could not believe the result, the patent planetary action of the aeration blade gave us minimal disruption to the surface and the green was back to normal after a mow. We kept ahead of the golfers and the application took less than 4 ½ hours.

It was decided that we would aerate the greens every 3 weeks in conjunction with a dusting program. After a couple of applications we noticed significant root growth, this was very encouraging as notoriously we struggle to keep our root density through the harsh summer months. We noticed a reduction in required irrigation which in turn allowed us to keep the surface dryer than normal and our disease pressure was reduced dramatically, not to mention the savings on our extremely limited water supply.

Through the autumn the turf density has improved and the health of the plant is as good as if we had completed our normal renovation. We look forward to increased plant health over the coming months which will put us into a strong position for the spring.

In conclusion, we have succeeded in all of our goals. The greens are strong and healthy and the surfaces are perfect, our revenue increased by $70,000 in April over previous years, our water usage has been reduced due to increased absorbsion and our costs are down thanks to decreased need for fungicides and infiltrants.

We use PlanetAir every 3 to 4 weeks on our greens and it has become our most valued and critical piece of equipment in retaining our greens at the highest level.

“I believe PlanetAir is a “must have” piece of equipment for anybody who has turf quality as their accountability or relies on it for their existence. Whether you are the Chairman of Greens or Finance, the General Manager, the Superintendant, the Environmental Committee, the Member or paying guest, PlanetAir provide benefits across all areas.“

Rob Selley – General Manager, The River Club, South Africa

“PlanetAir is the finest piece of golf course equipment I have seen in my 18 years as a Superintendent. With its frequent use I have reduced my greens core aerating to only once per year and my putting surfaces are the driest, most disease free I have ever experienced.”

John Harkness, GCS, Oak Valley Golf Club, Beaumont, CA

“What a great machine. We aerate, mow and there is no effect on ball roll at all—no hopping or jumping offline. I use PlanetAir once a month and have eliminated fall aerification, much to the delight of our players, owner, GM and Pro. We expect to see an increase in players when other courses do their aerification. I’ve gone to watering greens once per week and we are not experiencing dry spots like we did before PlanetAir.”
