The weakest point of any golf course irrigation system is found within the main piping itself. Leaky joints caused by water hammer - sudden water surge inside the system–and early spring turn-ons can mean costly repairs, interrupted play and even closed courses.High-Density Polyethylene pipe, completely solves this problem with a revolutionary pipe system designed to last longer, conserve water and reduce overall costs.

No joints means no leaks.
HDPE pipe is made of tough, high-density polyethylene. Pipe sections are actually fused together to become one continuous pipe, with the fused area becoming even stronger than the piping itself. Conventional irrigation pipe contains joints, proven to be the weakest spots in the entire system. With HDPE's unequaled monolithic qualities, there are no joints to leak.

The colder, the stronger.
HDPE pipe actually gains strength in lower temperatures and will expand to avoid breaking. Certain low areas of any irrigation system will retain water, making it nearly impossible to fully drain. As those areas freeze, conventional piping materials become dangerously brittle. HDPE pipe will not break, making it ideal for use at subzero temperatures and taking the suspense out of early spring turn-ons.

Dampens water hammer.
The most common cause of breaks in conventional golf course pipe is water hammer. HDPE pipe, because of its elasticity, effectively reduces the surge pressure caused by water hammer, lessening the problem.

Strong, yet flexible.
HDPE pipe is designed to bend to a radius of 25 times its diameter. This means fewer 90 degree bends overall, loess chance for water hammer, a reduction in leaks and easier installation. Ideal for new construction, HDPE pipes strength and flexibility allows the pipe to absorb vibrations and stress caused by soil movements. With its ability to be compressed or deformed without permanent damage, this new standard in irrigation pipe has even withstood the destructive forces of earthquakes.

Performs well in rocky conditions.
HDPE pipe can be buried at a shallow depth. There are no joints to pull apart - a distinct advantage where ledge rock prohibits excavation and very little cover is available.

Weatherability.
HDPE pipe can withstand long exposure to inclement weather conditions, excessive sunlight and ultraviolet rays, making it an excellent pipe for bridge crossings.

Withstands full vacuum.
HDPE pipe will not collapse, even under a full vacuum, when the correct size is used for a required application. This allows for perfect utilization as intake piping at pump stations.

Sized to fit every need.
HDPE pipe is manufactured in diameters of 1" through 63", with classes specified for each system's working pressure. Qualified ISCO personnel will assist you in selecting the proper size and class for your application.

Lasting performance and peace of mind.
No leaky pipe joints will enable owners to keep their courses open and golfers playing. Contractors will enjoy simpler, faster installation and fewer callbacks for repairs. Superintendents will rest easier not worrying about damaging blowouts and midnight repairs. Architects and engineers will know they've helped satisfy customers and golfers alike by specifying the best product available for golf course irrigation.
