One patented system drains your flooded bunkers in 90 minutes and washes contaminated sand clean in place — at a fraction of what renovation or sand replacement costs.
Every passive drain eventually clogs. Every storm leaves behind fines, algae, and organic buildup that degrade your sand and your playability. SandSave solves both problems with one unit your crew installs — no contractor, no reconstruction, no sand removal.
Passive drainage systems clog within 2–3 seasons as fines and organics infiltrate the filter media (USGA data). Meanwhile, every heavy rain contaminates your sand and displaces your bunker profile — closing holes, consuming labor, and draining your maintenance budget on a recurring cycle. Both problems have one solution.
$12,500–$15,000
Per bunker
• 6–8 weeks
• Outside contractor
• Clogs within 2–3 seasons
$15,000–$25,000
Per bunker
• 8–10 weeks
• Major renovation
• High rebuild cost over time
Liner-based systems share the same long-term clogging vulnerability. Sand washing requires full excavation.
$3,400–$7,400
Per bunker
• Recurs every 3–5 yrs
• ~$1,855/yr average
• Recurring cost, never ends
Remove old sand, clean drain bed, replace filter media, and install new sand. Hole closed. Doesn't fix drainage.
~$2,900 all-in
$2,200 unit + $300 controller + ~$400 labor
• As few as 5 hrs*
• Your crew
*Annual wash cost estimated at $46–$92/yr based on 1–2 hrs crew time at $18–$28/hr blended rate; single wash ~$46, optional second wash ~$92. Install time varies: as few as 5 man-hours where an existing drain is at or near the bunker; allow a full day where a new drain line must be trenched to a distant outlet. All-in installed cost of ~$2,900 = $2,200 unit + $300 Mobile Controller (shared across entire course) + ~$400 estimated installation labor.
