DEFRIBRILLATION (Artificial Turf Term)

This simply means to brush synthetic turf in the opposite direction to its turf lean. Defibrillation can be done manually with a rake and/or push broom or mechanically with a motorized sweeper. Turf defibrillation gets out many of the ‘unwanted’ qualities that synthetic turf has when it’s ‘hot off the presses’ from the manufacturer. 

Turf defibrillation will get your turf piles standing toward the vertical position. Also, it will untangle any piles that are intertwined or braided. Finally, defibrillation will separate any ‘conjoined’ turf piles. (picture with pointers forthcoming)
