Recommended Amounts & Installation Direction
RECOMMENDED AMOUNT (PSF) PER SQUARE FOOT OF SYNTHETIC TURF:
2 LBS PSF FOR A SMALL TO MEDIUM DOG.
3 LBS PSF FOR A LARGE DOG.
FOR MULTIPLE DOGS OF ANY SIZE, USE AS MUCH ZEOFILL AS YOUR TURF CAN HOLD.
NOTE: SOME TURF FIBERS HAVE SHORT PILE HEIGHTS AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF ZEOFILL TO BE PLACE ON TOP OF THE TURF. IN THIS CASE, PLACE SOME ZEOFILL UNDER THE TURF AS WELL AS ON TOP.
HOW MANY BAGS DO I NEED?
FORMULA TO FIGURE HOW MANY RECOMMENDED POUNDS YOU NEED.
_____ LBS PER SQUARE FOOT BASED ON THE SIZE OF YOUR DOG X _____ YOUR SQUARE
FOOTAGE OF TURF = TOTAL POUNDS OF PRODUCT YOU NEED ÷ 50 LBS BAG OF ZEOFILL = HOW
MANY BAGS OF ZEOFILL YOU NEED.
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS:
1. MAKE SURE YOU CAN APPLY THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF ZEOFILL ON TOP OF THE TURF. IF THE FIBER LENGTH IS LESS THAN 1-5/8" TALL, THEN YOU MAY WANT TO PUT SOME ZEOFILL ON THE BOTTOM BEFORE INSTALLING THE TURF.
2. MAKE SURE THE ZEOFILL IS DRY BEFORE INSTALLING.
3. USE STIFF BROOM OR POWER BROOM TO STRAIGHTEN TURF FIBERS UPRIGHT. MAKE SURE THE FIBER ARE UPRIGHT BEFORE INSTALLING THE ZEOFILL. (WE RECOMMEND USING EYE PROTECTION FOR YOUR SAFETY).
(POWER BROOM FOUND AT A RENTAL YARD MAKES THE ZEOFILL MUCH EASIER TO INSTALL)
4. EVENLY SPREAD HALF OF THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF ZEOFILL ON TOP OF YOUR TURF WITH YOUR HANDS OR FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE USE A DROP SPREADER (FOUND AT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE STORE OR RENTAL YARD). INSTALL IN A CRISS-CROSS PATTERN.
(REASON YOU ONLY PLACE HALF THE AMOUNT FIRST IS BECAUSE THE GRANULES WILL NOT TRAVEL DOWN INTO THE TURF WHEN THERE IS TOO MUCH ZEOFILL ON THE FIBERS)
5. WORK IN GRANULES DOWNWARD TO THE TURF BACKING USING YOUR BROOM OR POWER BROOM. MAKE SURE YOU ARE PUSHING THE ZEOFILL GRANULES INTO THE FIBERS IN THE SAME UPRIGHT DIRECTION AS IN STEP 3. (THIS STEP WILL CAUSE FLYING ZEODUST. ALTHOUGH ZEOFILL IS 100% SAFE, WE RECOMMEND USING A MASK AND EYE PROTECTION FOR YOUR SAFETY).
6. REPEAT STEPS 4 THROUGH 5 WITH OTHER HALF OF ZEOFILL.
7. RINSE WITH HOSE WATER TO CLEAN DUST OFF TURF FIBERS. IF NEEDED USE BROOM WITH THE HOSE WATER TO HELP REMOVE ZEO DUST.
8. PROVIDE REGULAR MAINTENANCE USING LIQUID ENZYME CLEANER WITH GARDEN HOSE ATTACHMENT TO REMOVE BACTERIAL SPORES IN ZEOFILL. WE RECOMMEND PE-51 ENZYME CLEANER USED BY AMAZON CORPORATE FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES DOG PARK INSIDE DOPPLER AMAZON BUILDING IN WASHINGTON STATE.
NOTE: SOME INSTALLERS LIGHTLY SPRAY THE SECOND HALF OF ZEOFILL GRANULES BEFORE POWER BROOMING. THIS STEP MAY OR MAY NOT WORK IN YOUR SITUATION.
