Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How does the SpikeWheel technology work?
A. The LiquiJect SpikeWheel contains a metering sleeve that only allows liquid products to be released while the injection point is in the soil. The metering sleeve regulates the amount of solution each spike receives so each holds the same precise amount - causing even product distribution.
Q. How do the spikes avoid damaging the sprinkler heads I have on my course?
A. As a precaution, we ask that each sprinkler head be marked in advance of using the LiquiJect system so that they can be avoided while applying liquid fertilizer. In the event a sprinkler head is rolled over, however, the individually-mounted spring arm attached to each SpikeWheel provides enough flexibility to avoid damage. The downward pressure provided by the spring arm ensures that the injection spike is effective in penetrating the surface of the soil , but still allows for upward movement when an obstruction is encountered.
Q. Will the LiquiJect system work well on my sensitive greens?
A. Yes. It's ideal for golf course superintendents to assist in solving their hydrophobic problems on greens with LiquiJect's low disturbance application.
Q. How much fluid actually gets in the ground, at the recommended speed?
A. Each wheel has its own orifice distribution plate. The hole in the orifice plate determines the amount of material, which is metered from the manifold. The amount of liquid sent to each SpikeWheel is what is applied into the ground.
Q. How do you prevent liquid from escaping when the Spike is not in the ground?
A. An internal metering sleeve in the hub only allows injection of liquids to occur when the injector spike is in the six o'clock position (at the bottom of the rotation).
Q. How deep will the injection points penetrate into the ground?
A. The points on the wheel penetrate to a depth of approximately 2 inches, depending on soil conditions.
Q. What kind of fertilizer solution can I use with the LiquiJect applicator?
A. Most liquid fertilizer solutions can be applied with the LiquiJect system as well as a liquid lime soulution.
Q. What application is this ideal for?
A. The LiquiJect system is ideal for distribution of any liquids (or dry, flowable powders in a liquid solution) to areas where low disturbance is a priority. However, it is important to read individual product labels and follow recommended usage guidelines. The application can be on virtually any turf, even the sensitive areas of a golf course green. The LiquiJect sub-surface liquid injector is a superior tool to help derive optimal results from products.
Q. Is this technology proven?
A. The technology of the SpikeWheel was developed for the agricultural industry and has proven successful for over 10 years in this market.
Q. Where are the LiquiJect products made?
A. In the United States.
