Can Better Drainage Improve Bunker Sand Performance?

As shown in SandSave drain-time data, faster evacuation of standing water reduces the time contaminants remain suspended in bunker sand. 

SandSave can flush and evacuate water-borne fines and contaminants, supporting better sand performance and faster recovery after flooding. 

SandSave doesn’t just remove water — it helps remove what the water carries with it 

SandSave helps: Rapidly evacuate standing water • Pull water downward through the sand profile • Carry suspended fines and debris toward the drain outlet • Reduce the time water remains in contact with sand 

Using SandSave to Support Sand Flushing 

Superintendents may use SandSave as part of a practical sand-maintenance approach by: 

  • Allowing natural rainfall or controlled rinsing to mobilize contaminants 
  • Letting SandSave actively evacuate water and suspended fines 
  • Returning bunkers to play faster with less manual intervention 

The Bottom Line: 

If bunker sand problems are driven by water that won’t leave, SandSave can help improve drainage, support sand flushing, and restore playability — without rebuilding bunkers
