Turf-Tec Digital Moisture Sensor
a percentage of soil moisture that is held within the air space
in the soil.
This state of the art unit is designed to work in all soil types and salinity ranges.
The probes are also easily replaceable. The Turf-Tec Digital Moisture Sensor
uses a newly designed electrical conductivity sensing circuit that gives quick and
reliable readings of soil moisture. With years of science behind the sensing
results, there is no easier way to test for soil moisture.

From the inventors of one of the first moisture
sensors available to the turfgrass industry comes
the new Turf-Tec Digital Moisture Sensor.
The Turf-Tec Digital Moisture
Sensor has been developed
to determine soil moisture in
the soil profile. The unit has
an adjustable foot which
allows you to determine moisture at
the one inch, two inch, three inch or
four inch depth without changing
probes. This will insure you can
determine the soil moisture above,
below and in the turfgrass rootzone
for maximum water savings and plant
health.
Simply slide the adjustable foot
to the desired depth, insert the
Turf-Tec Digital Moisture
Sensor into the soil and press
the "Read" button near the
digital display. The read out is

  • Page 1 This state of the art unit is designed to work in all soil types and salinity ranges. The probes are also easily replaceable. The Turf-Tec Digital Moisture Sensor uses a newly designed electrical conductivity sensing circuit that gives quick and reliable readings of soil moisture.
  • Page 2 100% to compensate for salts and minerals in soil. (See instruction manual page 5) Readings 0-25% Dry 25-75% Ideal 75% - 100% Wet (Over 100% - adjustment must be made to unit) Turf-Tec International Digital Moisture Sensor - Copyright 2011 Page 2 - www.turf-tec.com...
  • Page 3 100% see the calibration section. You should also measure moisture in a dry area and this will give you your “Low” threshold. By watering until the soil reached the middle of these two numbers will give you the best turfgrass health.

  • Page 4 Different soils and their moisture readings The Turf-Tec Digital Moisture Sensor tells the amount of water in the air space that is in the soil. A one to two year old USGA sand based golf green or sand based athletic field that is saturated will show a very small amount of moisture because of the air space in the soil and its ability to drain the water quickly at field capacity.
  • Page 5 30% but to look for consistency. If all the greens have the same percentage of soil moisture and they all have the same reading on the Turf-Tec Penetrometer, they will all respond to the ball impact the same way. If all sports field areas are also consistent, they will have the same footing and ball bounce.
  • Page 6 Readings over 100% The Turf-Tec Digital Moisture Sensor will display readings over 100%, in fact the read out will go up to 199%. The reason for this is to alert the user that the unit should be calibrated so that the maximum reading shown is 100% on any area on your property that you are checking moisture on.
