Converting a hydro Seeding unit for ice control
Now your
Turbo Turf Hydro Seeding System can be used year round. The
conversion is easy and inexpensive. "Most" Turbo Turf Hydro
Seeding Systems will work fine as an Ice Control Sprayer just the way they are. All you
need to do is add one of the booms we have available. You will
probably also want the electric control valve. It will keep you
from having to get out of your truck and change a valve every
time you need to start or stop your spray. You may want a hose
package as well that will let you do sidewalks, steps and other
areas where you can not drive. If you don't expect
to do a lot of that a special nozzle is available that will
allow you to use your hydro seeding gun to spray deicing
chemicals.
Suitable Turbo Turf Hydro Seeding units
Turbo Turf
units that can be used for Ice Control are all units 300 gallons
and above. The 50, 100 & 150 gallon units can be
used but if your unit has an aluminum pump you will be a little
more limited on materials and can only use materials that will
not react with aluminum. If you are planning to buy a new
50, 100, or 150 gallon unit and want to use it both for
hydroseeding and Ice Control we can equip the unit with a poly
pump that will work for both. There is no additional
charge for this change.
Picking a boom

There are
several booms that will work with your Turbo Turf Hydro Seeding
System to convert it into an Ice control sprayer. Our most
popular boom is the turret boom that slides into a 2" x 2" truck
receiver. It has a turret nozzle set up that allows
you do dial in the nozzle you wish to use (see photo below).
It comes with one low speed fan nozzle set up, one higher speed
fan nozzle set up and on straight nozzle for de-icing.
Nozzles can be changed in seconds. The nozzles are
shielded on three sides to prevent stone damage and ice build
up. The boom height can easily be adjusted as well.
It also is available with extender nozzles to do three lanes at
once. The one lane turret boom is $ 495.00 and the three
lane set up is $ 895.00


Electric valves for in cab control

The boom is
all you need if you want to run back and turn the boom on and
off by hand but most like the convenience of the in cab
controller. This is an electric valve, a cable, and
a toggle switch that allows you to turn the spray bar on and off
from the cab of your truck. The valve, cable and control box
with switch is $ 385.00 for the one lane boom or $ 895.00 for
the three lane boom.
