Not only does this ensure the ground remains in optimal condition , but it keeps the surface area even and soft to withstand the impact of sporting events and other physical activities .
However , this task can be made difficult without adequate water flow . Poor water performance negatively impacts groundskeepers ’ ability to maintain the condition of the turf to a high-quality and on a regular basis , often compromising its health and appearance .
For improved water flow and performance and ultimately a healthier turf , consider an accumulator tank . Accumulator tanks store water at pressure . When an outlet , such as a sprinkler , is opened the water from the tank is released , providing additional flow to the mains supply .
