Flow Filled artificial turf is influenced by the environment from the first day on. Dust, pollen, rests of plants and abrasion material are washed by rain into the fine cavities of the filling. The result of this process is a total hardened surface with no longer water permeability. The covering infiltrated with particles of humus causes the ideal breeding ground for algae and moss. An artificial turf that got dirty like that can no longer meet its purpose. It exists an extreme danger of slipping and with that a not calculable accident risk.

Unfilled artificial Turf polluted by environmental influences such as dust, pollen and plant remains as well as other contaminants such as cigarette butts, bottle caps, etc. Without cleaning is interspersed with humus particles covering an ideal breeding ground for algae and moss. It is an extreme danger for the artificial turf if it´s covered with algae and a moss-covered because of slipping and accident risk for the athlete rises serious.

For effective maintenance of artificial turf, it is necessary to take the infill material out of the artificial grass surface at regular intervals to remove, by the use of screens, the coarse contaminants and also to filter out the fine particulate matter (dust).
