Standing water on the pitch, referee on his way, forty players and parents waiting on a decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bowdry gives you an answer other than no. Roll it across the affected area, the high density foam roller absorbs the water and the integrated tank collects it, ready to be emptied through the side valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foam is designed to lift water without damaging the turf, so you are not trading a playable pitch today for a ruined surface next month.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MKIII generation adds a wider roller, a stronger and more ergonomic handle and mounting chassis, and a higher density moulded construction. It is lighter to push and easier to store than you would expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt arrives ready for use. Unpack it, slide the handle on and go. There is no assembly to work out in the rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original Bowdry was awarded Millennium Product status by the British Design Council, which tells you this is a considered piece of engineering rather than a bucket with wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMike Phelan spent a career in a game where fixtures have to be played and pitches have to be ready. For grassroots clubs and schools, having a Bowdry in the shed can be the difference between a season on schedule and a fixture backlog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollects up to 60 litres of standing water per minute to get fixtures played.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh density durable foam roller absorbs water without damaging the turf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated storage tank with a side mounted valve for quick emptying.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWider roller on the MKIII covers more ground per pass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRe-designed stronger, ergonomic handle and mounting chassis for easier use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigher density moulded construction for durability season after season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivered ready for use, simply unpack and slide the handle on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight and strong, so one person can operate, transport and store it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBowdry MKIII\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater collection rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 60 litres per minute\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh density durable foam, wide format\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater storage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated tank with side panel drain valve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh density moulded, ergonomic chassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReady for use, handle slides on\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSurface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural grass pitches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much water does the Bowdry remove?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUp to 60 litres per minute.
