How KISSS Works For Commercial Turf

KISSS Capillary Subsurface Irrigation solutions cover all applications that are irrigated by subsurface drip irrigation and overhead sprinkler irrigation systems. KISSS Subsurface Irrigation system are a wiser choice because it is the only irrigation system that can water turf and planted areas.

Capillary Fiber Allows Soil To Absorb Water At Its Own Rate
Forcing water into soil at a pre-determined rate, as seen when using overhead and drip irrigation can easily lead to anaerobic conditions just below the surface, which over time weakens the root systems and does not allow for young root systems to develop properly.

However, with KISSS Irrigation the slow controlled output of water from the capillary fiber actually allows the soil to absorb water at a rate based on individual needs. In effect this action allows water to travel more purposely to drier areas within the soil FIRST in order to maintain even moisture across the row.

Surfaces Stay Dry So Weeds And Fungus Are Drastically Reduced
Moist surface conditions are extremely detrimental to the health of plants and use wasteful quantities of water. Water is wasted because under most irrigation conditions, it remains on the surface where it is quickly lost to evaporation, rather than able to be absorbed into the root zone. And moist surfaces under these conditions promote diseases, fungi and weeds. Under extreme moist surface conditions, moisture can also encourage the spread of harmful bacteria and fungi.

KISSS Subsurface Capillary Irrigation can maximize water savings by keeping water where it most vitally must be, THE ROOTS. Since water is effectively kept at the roots of all plants, in all cases it is unnecessary to wet the surface. A moist surface means for very favorable growing conditions for fungus and the germination of weeds.
