February 2, Orlando, FL: At the Golf Industry Show in Orlando February 8-9, GT AirInject, Inc., will unveil the Air2HP portable aerifier tool to golf course superintendents, architects and owners as a featured part of the conference’s New Product Showcase. The Air2HP is an innovative and convenient portable aerifier tool positioned to revolutionize the way turf facilities ease compaction, increase drainage and aerify. The Air2HP may be used to quickly and easily spot-treat high traffic areas such as cart paths and approaches, and to increase drainage, aerify and ease compaction in sand bunkers, on tees, greens and fairways, in flowerbeds and around tree roots. The Air2HP is introduced as a cost-effective counterpart to the company’s popular aerification machine, the Air2G2.
“The Air2HP makes the benefits of aerification more portable, accessible and affordable for golf course management,” said Glen Black, president of GT AirInject, Inc., based in Jacksonville, FL. “Based on the success of the Air2G2, we knew that we needed to provide our customers with a portable, hand-held tool for aerification. The result is the Air2HP.”
The Air2HP is a handheld device that uses a single probe to inject air beneath the surface of the turf. It fractures compacted soil as far as 40 inches beneath the surface, allows root systems access to air and improves drainage. It can be used to aerate tight spaces such as flowerbeds and tree bases, as well as for spot treatments on turf and in sand bunkers. The Air2HP does not disrupt the surface of the turf, meaning that treated areas are ready for use immediately after aerification. The Air2HP requires an external air compressor (135psi/1 hp/3 gal/2.4 scfm @ 90psi minimum) or may be used in conjunction with the Air2G2.
In addition to these immediate benefits, the Air2HP creates optimal conditions for deeper root growth and increased microbial activity by forcing gas exchange within the soil. This increases drought tolerance, reduces the need for fertilizer, decreases the risk of harmful fungus and bacteria in the root zone, and improves cumulative turf health.
GT AirInject will be featured in the GCSAA’s new product showcase and on the trade show floor, at Booth #3073 during the Golf Industry Show.
GT AirInject had a successful stint in Orlando the last week in January – first at Demo Day for the PGA Merchandise Show at Orange Country National Golf Center on Tuesday, Jan. 24 and then at the Sports Turf Managers Association conference later that week at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.
