Are there any “tricks” in constructing the wash pad?
Golf courses, turf companies and councils have been able to use local contractors or, in some cases construct the pad themselves. The wash pad is a concrete slab, sloped to a trench that leads to a catch basin. The trench serves as a method of collecting sand and gravel, so the pad should slope to the trench, not the catch basin. The sump pump is put in the catch basin, so a 50mm (2″) PVC line needs to go to the area near where the WaterStax will be located. An additional 20mm (¾”) line for an electrical conduit should also lead from the catch basin to the equipment area. The equipment pad should be relatively level. Sample pad drawings are available.
