KISSS America offers the world’s most advanced sub-surface irrigation products. Using capillary action, the patented "Kapillary Irrigation Sub-Surface System" (KISSSTM) moves water at the soil's natural absorption rate creating a uniform wetting pattern by matching the soil's capillary absorption properties. KISSS is THE green solution for irrigation!
The KISSS system works by pulsing water through sub-surface lateral irrigation lines to a geo-textile fabric which, using its own capillary action, disperses water into the soil at or below the root zone. The geo-textile fabric maintains moisture uniformity along its length and allows soil to absorb water as needed at a slower and more effective rate. A polypropylene backing on the fabric prevents water loss from downward percolation. Fertilizers and other chemicals can be pulsed through the system to provide nutrients at the root zone where they are needed, eliminating surface exposure to humans and pets, and reducing harmful and wasteful run-off. Depending upon weather conditions such as wind and humidity, KISSS can substantially reduce water consumption when compared to traditional sprinkler and drip systems while using less power, less fertilizer and other chemicals, yet resulting in better quality turf and healthier plants.

Sustainable green roofs are transforming bustling urban areas into environmentally friendly green spaces. KISSS America is committed to raising awareness and spearheading the growing momentum of the green roof industry. KISSS sub-surface irrigation is the only proven effective irrigation system for many advanced green roof designs, including the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and the Award Winning Target Center (pictured above.) |
Cityscapes present irrigation challenges solved by KISSS. KISSS dispenses water and chemicals subsurface, away from people, has no parts to get destroyed, and operates invisibly while people are picnicing at the surface! |
KISSS sub-surface irrigation is the most environmentally conscious, yet people-friendly irrigation system available. Conservation-minded communities now have a way to maintain beautiful, people-friendly parks and recreation facilities without wasting our precious water or creating a large negative service annuity. Your community will love you for this! |
Making sports fields safer for all ages is a KISSS America goal. Your sports fields can be safer, save water, provide a better playing surface, reduce system maintenance, and eliminate scheduling issues. How? No sprinkler heads to trip over or be damaged. No player exposure to surface chemicals. Little to no evaporation or run-off into watersheds. Reduced vandalism since nothing is visible to attract attention. Plus, athletes are able to play while you’re irrigating! |
