TURF-TEC INFILTROMETER INSTRUCTIONS Outline of Uses The Turf-Tec Infiltrometer was specifically designed to give infiltration readings directly on site. It can give you a reading on the rate of water percolation through grass, thatch, mat and soil as well as directly on bare soil. Reliability of testing and reducing variables Saturated test (The most reliable test method): The most reliable test method for measuring infiltration is called a saturated test. This method is performed by placing the Turf-Tec Infiltrometer directly into the soil to be tested and filling the rings 2-3 times, allowing the water to infiltrate into the soil between fillings. Once the soil is saturated, you can perform the test. Moisture Sensing (The quickest test method): Another reliable method for testing infiltration is to use a Moisture Sensor. Moisture Sensor readings should be taken at one, two, three and four inch levels of the soil to be tested using a Turf-Tec Moisture Sensor and the readings should be
