Replay Aquatrax
Leeds
A Replay Aquatrax customer since 2018, the team have been tasked with the specialist cleaning of the University of Leeds Sports Park Weetwood water-based hockey pitch.
Replay’s technicians used their specialist Aquatrax, a unique process, combining pressure washing and vacuum extraction. Using the application of pressurised water jets to dislodge algae and dirt initially with a vacuum extraction system to then remove the contaminated water to a tank on the machine so that it is not returned to the surface.
The expert clean involved a first pass involving a ‘pre-wet’ phase, followed by a non-damaging cleaning phase with low-pressure, high-volume water jets. On this pitch, two passes were made to clean the surface, restore grip underfoot and improve performance.
The Aquatrax hand lance, a smaller attachment on Replay’s Aquatrax machine, was used in difficult to access areas including the corners where algae, moss and detritus were starting to take hold.
“Replay Maintenance have performed 3 Aquatrax cleans to our water-based hockey pitches since 2019. We have found the process thoroughly cleans the surface with the full removal of algal growth and dirt creating a more enjoyable playing experience for our students. The operatives that have attended our site are professional, courteous and knowledgeable, as such I can recommend both Replay Maintenance and the Aquatrax Process for water-based pitch cleaning”.
