Alliance Gator XTurf Infill Sand Zeo-White, 40 lb Bag

Why Contractors Ask for Gator XTurf Zeo-White by Name

Artificial turf and dogs is a solved problem, but only if you use the right infill. Zeolite is a mineral with a cage-like crystal structure that traps ammonia molecules, which is what urine smell actually is.

• Absorbs ammonia from animal urine. The zeolite structure traps the molecule rather than masking the smell.
• Cools the turf. Alliance: it absorbs heat from sunlight and transpires water to the atmosphere, "significantly lowers the temperature of the artificial grass surface."
• The top layer, over a primary infill. Alliance uses roughly one third of the total infill height.
• White, so it is easy to see and easy to replace when it is spent.
• More porous than rubber infill, which is why it runs cooler in direct sun.
• Natural product, safe for pets, environmentally safe.

Coverage swings widely because the rate does: 26.7 sq ft per bag at the heavy end, up to 160 sq ft at the light end. Heavy pet traffic justifies the heavier rate. Call (856) 418-4895 and we will size it against your dog situation.

How to Install Zeo-White Top Layer

The full step by step guide is in the official documentation below. Here is the shape of the job:

1. Spread in thin layers with an adjustable-rate drop spreader, walking straight lines at a consistent speed. Use a shovel for edges and corners.
2. Broom it in with a stiff bristle broom, turf rake or power broom. Firm pressure, walking backwards, overlapping rows, north-south then east-west, until no sand is visible and the blades stand upright.
3. Leaf-blow the residual sand and cut blades off the surface.
4. Mist lightly with water to kill the static and settle the infill.

Brush and top up twice a year. In fall rake the debris and add a fresh coat, in spring straighten the flattened blades and add a layer once dry.

Why Zeolite Works on Dog Urine

It is a genuinely different mechanism from a deodorizer, which is why it keeps working.

• Urine smell is ammonia. As urine breaks down it releases ammonia gas, and that is what you smell.
• Zeolite has a cage structure. Silicon, aluminum and oxygen form a framework with 4 Angstrom pores and channels through it.
• It exchanges ions. At 0.8 to 1.2 meq per gram it captures ammonium rather than letting it gas off.
• Rain recharges it. Flushing carries the captured material through and frees the sites again.
• White so you can see it. When it is spent and grey, you know to top it up.
