Keeping our courts moss-free
Kintbury Tennis Club has a new rotary pressure washer system that will enable us to keep our
courts moss free and clean on a regular basis. It is a powerful and effective system
that does a brilliant job. Furthermore it will save us an annual bill in the region of
£1300 on outside contractors cleaning 3 courts. Without contractors doing the work the
club now relies solely on members volunteering their time to clean our tennis courts,
and ideally it is a two man job. Once accustomed to the equipment it is relatively
straightforward and easy to use. The kit is made up of the following.
a) 400WH[1] Surfclean 400WH
b) Poseidon3-36[1] Poseidon 3-36 PE
c) Suction Hose with filter 3m
Hire our pressure washer for your club
Clubs that play in the NDLTA can hire this equipment from Kintbury for just £100.
The NDLTA is supporting this system, hoping that Kintbury's capital expense can ultimately
benefit all clubs in the NDLTA.
We believe the best way to use this kit is to have a reservoir (e.g a wheeliebin) filled up
before the court cleaning starts, and kept filled by a supply of water from the tap. This is
because the pressure washer uses water faster than the tap can supply in most cases. It could be
done directly from a
tap but unless the water pressure is really good the reservoir option is
best.
Our tennis court pressure washer is available for hire by clubs registered with the Newbury &
District LTA at a cost of £100 from KTC. Any club
interested should email johnr.howell@talk21.com for further details. Tennis clubs from outside
the NDLTA can also hire our pressure washer, with the price to be agreed, according to distance
and period of hire. Clubs within the NDLTA benefit from a discounted rate. If your club is close
to Kintbury and you also want us to supply the man power, please ask John Howell for prices.
KTC members can hire it for £25
As a member of KTC, you can hire the pressure washer for just £25. Please contact johnr.howell@talk21.com for further details.
