Beat the Heat on Your Artificial Lawn with the HydroChill Cooling System

Why Install HydroChill with your artificial lawn?

In the past, the biggest limitation of artificial lawns was the surface temperature. While artificial lawns were effective in combating drought in dry, hot climates, severe temperatures would cause the surface of the lawn to require frequent rinses with water to stay cool. Now, however, Southwest Greens’ development of the HydroChill home evaporative cooling system allows you to enjoy your lawn any time of day. HydoChill can reduce the surface temperature of artificial lawns, synthetic putting greens, sports fields and pet runs by as much as 28 degrees, making artificial grass viable in even the warmest of climates. Our unique, patented cooling system can keep your family and pets comfortable outdoors even on warm days.

How does HydroChill keep synthetic grass cool?

The development of HydroChill spanned three years, with testing in real-world applications throughout the United States. HydroChill works by utilizing moisture to cool the surface of the lawn. Essentially, as the grass is heated by the sun, moisture stored in the HydroChill is released and the evaporative moisture removes heat, leaving the surface cool.

HydroChill utilizes moisture to provide a cooling effect. Rainfall, dew or irrigation can help keep the field cool for days, depending on local conditions. Because ambient temperature does not necessarily dictate surface temperature, areas that you would not consider as being hot can be much warmer than expected. During the summer, surfaces absorb more energy from the sun and heat up quickly. Surfaces like artificial turf benefit greatly from evaporative cooling because HydroChill is designed to work on the hottest days when the sun is directly overhead. As conditions continue to heat up around the world and artificial lawns become more popular for areas hit hardest by drought, HydroChill is the best way to combat surface heat and make your outdoor space enjoyable for everyone.
