Ebb and Flow Mat

Why use KISSS Subsurface Capillary Irrigation?

There have not been vast technological advances with most typical subsurface drip irrigation systems over the past forty years, until now. The KISSS subsurface capillary irrigation system is quickly changing the way people, from all over the world, view subsurface irrigation systems.

PREPARATION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS: Some preparatory work needs to be carried out to adapt existing sites to Ebb and Flow Mat. This is a major advantage when compared with other systems where greater attention must be given to leveling and/or changes in benches are required (e.g. to install traditional capillary or ebb and flow systems). Ebb and Flow MAT can usually be installed on top of existing ground cover or benches and overhead irrigation systems left in place if desired.

The Ebb & Flow MAT is an advanced irrigation system that provides not only irrigation, but drainage and advanced root protection. It can also intelligently manage the moisture level of your green roof soils. The KISSS Ebb & Flow MAT subsurface capillary irrigation system is more efficient than overhead systems and subsurface drip irrigation systems. The system uses pressure compensating emitters and has a 300% soil wetting volume. The system also eliminates anaerobic conditions in the soil, as well as eliminating bacterial and fungal conditions.

Here is a Detailed Three Step Description of Ebb and Flow Mat's Irrigating Principals

STEP ONE:
Drip-Tapes deliver water to the sides of the specially designed three-layered nursery system. Water is evenly and rapidly distributed throughout the system using the mat's central layer of non-woven geo-textile. The bottom impervious layer contains the water to avoid leakage, while the top layer of mat both protects the geo-textile and minimizes loss of water to the air.

STEP TWO:

KISSS Subsurface capillary irrigation systems offer a variety of products that are useful in an infinite number of applications. The KISSS system is an all-inclusive system that addresses all of your needs from fertigation to weather controlled system regulation while offering a substantial reduction in water usage. There are many other benefits that the KISSS system can offer to include being more efficient than overhead systems, more efficient than drip systems, eliminates root intrusion, eliminates water run-off, and establishes plant material 20% faster.

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.

The Agriculture Subsurface Capillary Irrigation (SCI) Revolution
KISSS Capillary Subsurface Irrigation systems (SCI) are the world’s most advanced subsurface irrigation systems for agriculture and farming. For over a decade KISSS Subsurface Capillary Irrigation Systems have helped to substantially reduce overhead costs of countless commercial irrigation applications by drastically minimizing water and fertilizer usage and by reducing energy expenses and labor costs. When used against drip and micro drip irrigation, KISSS SCI achieves superior wetting patterns and drastic water savings.
