Capillary Flow Bunkers · Edge · Wash Box Official partner in India
The complete Capillary Bunker protection system, distributed and installed in India by SGDC: a liner that drains 100 inches an hour, an edge that keeps the design, and a Wash Box that cleans the sand in place.
Capillary Bunkers is the full-scale bunker system: optimal drainage and the right moisture in the sand for players, and far less work for the crew. It adheres to USGA bunker construction standards and is considered the gold standard of bunker construction, used on some of the top 100 courses in the world, from Ryder Cup to PGA venues.
Tap a layer to read what it does. Then make it rain and watch 100 inches an hour disappear through the sand while the liner keeps the base and faces moist.
Three parts
Liner. Edge. Wash Box.
Each part solves one bunker problem for good. Together they end washouts, contaminated sand and edge rebuilds.
01
Capillary Bunker Liner
Drainage and moisture, mastered
Drains 100 inches per hour
Homogenous two inch Capillary Material layer
Withstands over 1000 PSI, no clogging of the drainage
Wicks moisture back up so faces hold and lies stay firm
Fifteen-year structural and drainage performance guarantee
02
Capillary Edge and Edgevantage
Design integrity, for life
Mounted vertically and locked into the liner with barbed spears
Stackable to any height, or a single layer
Supports natural turf, native edges, revetted or synthetic
Integrated moisture cups keep the sod hydrated
No more trimming, reshaping or rebuilding edges every decade
03
Capillary Wash Box
Sand restored, not replaced
Washes algae, silt, clay, debris and fines out of the sand in place
Lighter contaminants float off into the drain line, clean sand sinks
Restores colour, percolation and playing properties
Cuts sand costs by two thirds
The only bunker liner with the option to wash the sand to new

Capillary Wash Box
Wash the sand. Do not replace it.
Smaller, lighter particles float, sand sinks. The Wash Box turns that simple physics into a five-step routine that restores the sand to its original colour and drainage.
01
Skim
Skim the surface debris as usual after a storm, nothing more.
02
Flood
Connect a hose to the irrigation system and flood the bunker in place.
03
Separate
Silt, clay, algae and organic fines are lighter than sand. They float, the sand sinks.
04
Drain
The contaminated water runs off through the Capillary Wash Box into the drain line.
05
Play
The sand settles back clean, bright and free-draining. No trucks, no new sand.
“Before we started, around fifty per cent of our bunkers simply did not drain. In the first three months after we renovated we had 22 inches of rain. There is not a bunker out there that has held water or washed out, or retained any silt. They have been the best addition to this golf course.”
“After 250 mm of rain, no washout, no nothing. The bunkers we did not redo, a complete mess. After this, we will redo all our bunkers with Capillary.”
“I am a big fan of the Wash Box. To have the ability to remove fines and algae, and bring sand back to its original pure-white state is amazing. I am never worried about bunker consistency now.”
“We have had three big rainstorms, three inches overnight, since we finished the installation, and we have found little or no washouts in our new bunkers. I am getting compliments every single day about how they look and play.”
“I like the fact that the concrete is a homogenous two inch layer. With Capillary Bunkers, I knew that as long as it came out of the truck properly mixed, it would give me that solid two inch layer.”
