KISSS Makes Installations simple::
KISSS Below Flow subsurface irrigation is installed underground in fairways, tee boxes, and putting greens by using the Specialized KISSS Plow. Since it can be "plowed" into the ground using our specialized KISSS plow implement it makes installation time and cost much more easy to predict than standard irrigation systems. This is highly beneficial for golf courses since it allows you to plow the material into the ground and leave the site with little evidence an extensive water saving subsurface irrigation system was installed.
The KISSS plow usually accommodates up to 2 rows at a time (depending on the power of the machine tasked with pulling it).
New Installation: Below Flow irrigation can also be installed on prepared ground for new golf courses or installations. The KISSS material is laid down on the ground between header and footer pipes. |

Soil Testing
We offer various flow rates in our Below Flow products (see specification data for more info) due to the variety of soil types which all hold different water absorbing capabilities. There is a general reference table for capillary ability of each soil type, however, we always recommend a soil test be accomplished before installation of Below Flow as those numbers are just TYPICAL values form our experience. The KISSS capillary soil test does the following:
- Spacing for Below Flow
- Depth of Below Flow products
- Duration and frequency of irrigation cycles
- Soil amendments you may want to consider for optimum plant health and water holding ability
