KISSS irrigates turf by expelling water from emitters protected by the geo-textile fiber and then is taken up to the root by surrounding soil. Sports fields are usually split up between four to six zones, which depend largely on the size of the field, available flow, pressure levels, and budget.

KISSS Subsurface Capillary Irrigation is designed to use less water the longer the system is implemented. And because of this design, KISSS irrigation becomes more efficient because deeper roots can penetrate under ground. The system is meant to last more than twenty years in the ground without diminished operation.
And since our system is capillary acting, water is efficiently delivered from the bottom up. The source of the water is concentrated under ground, so plants naturally grow deeper root systems.

 

 

 

This trial demonstrates the difference between KISSS (SCI) systems vs. Drip (SDI). A university conducted the trial in controlled conditions of sandy loam soil. KISSS Below Flow irrigation system has a wetting pattern over TWO TIMES the size of standard subsurface drip irrigation.
When KISSS Below Flow FLAT was compared to a leading drip irrigation system, both were operating simultaneously for hours. The subsurface drip irrigation system took six days to dry completely.  The KISSS Below Flow irrigation system took sixteen days.  Our system remained wetter longer, helping to cut consumption of water and to maintain low operating costs. Watch the videos (below) and notice how the KISSS irrigation wetting pattern is at least twice as large as the drip wetting pattern.
