How KISSS Works for Green Roofs

KISSS Capillary Irrigation uses patented water transmitting geo-textile, high quality drip tubing, a dispersion layer and a very crucial anti-percolation layer to create the most advanced, efficient, and effective irrigation system in the world today. All of these components work together to achieve a more uniform wetting pattern; and also stops downward percolation of water after leaving the drip emitters. Additionally, the anti-percolation layer is only 4” wide and is typically spaced at 20” on center, so it will not impede drainage capabilities of roof systems.
Other benefits include more drought tolerant plants because of a more robust root system with KISSS, decreased establishment time and increased plant growth. The KISSS system is generally more economical than most drip systems, and definitely easier to install in eco roof applications.
KISSS systems are installed with fully automated moisture sensors, flow sensors and is programmed to irrigate only when it is necessary, using local ET weather data. We set you up to monitor your eco roof irrigation system through the web so you can monitor your systems’ health and potential maintenance requirements.
