Utilizing the Tekleen Filtration System to Keep a Golf Course Irrigation System Running Clean

Scott Vlahos manages the maintenance of the Indian Hills Golf and Country Club in Riverside, CA. Golf course irrigation systems are subject to the clogging of their plumbing systems and especially the irrigation spray heads and local filters. A clogged local filter can stop a whole leg of the irrigation process. Mr. Vlahos recently decided to revisit the situation, and after much research, selected Tekleen to provide a new self-cleaning filtration system. This would cut down tremendously on the labor costs of manually keeping a large golf course irrigation system free from debris and in good working order.

Because of the special situation at Indian Hills, with the water reservoir located on a hill above the course, Mr. Vlahos needed a company that would visit his location to gain first hand appreciation for the layout, and then solve this issue. Since the filtration system might be required to recycle the cleaned wastewater back into the reservoir, the problem that stood out was getting the water back up the hill without using an expensive pumping system. Gideon Brunn, CEO of Tekleen, visited the golf course to assess the situation and offered his expertise to solve the problem. Additional reasons for selecting Tekleen system filters included their stainless steel construction, fewer moving parts, and easy maintenance.
