The Wisley Golf Club

Water filtration for irrigation

Background:

The Wisley Golf Club, renowned for its immaculate playing surfaces and picturesque landscape, has a sophisticated irrigation system to maintain its impressive surroundings. Keeping the grass in perfect condition during the dry summer months requires a considerable and reliable water supply. To guarantee this supply while mitigating the rising costs associated with drinking water and minimising its environmental impact, the system is supplied by a lake located on the premises, which is fed by rainwater, groundwater and water from the River Wey. However, this source of untreated water contains particles that require effective filtration to prevent clogging of the system and ensure operational integrity. This project focuses on the implementation and optimisation of the Bollfilter filtration system to safeguard the uninterrupted performance of Wisley's vital irrigation infrastructure.

Solution description:

To mitigate this challenge, a dual filtration system consisting of two BOLLFILTER Automatic Type 6.18, DN150 filters in a service/standby configuration was implemented. This ensures continuous filtration and protects against unexpected system interruptions. By effectively removing solids that would otherwise compromise the system, the BOLLFILTER units provide essential protection for sprinkler nozzles and maintain the overall reliability of The Wisley's irrigation infrastructure, especially during periods of peak demand.
 

Customer benefits and added value:

These efficiencies translate into tangible financial savings for The Wisley. Lower maintenance costs, reduced water bills (thanks to the use of the on-site water source) and less time spent by staff on irrigation maintenance. In addition, Wisley members expect the course to be in excellent condition throughout the year. Constant irrigation, made possible by the Bollfilter filtration system, ensures that the course remains in optimal condition throughout the playing season, even during prolonged periods of drought.
