Reduce your water bills without sacrificing your lawn or garden.KISSS sub-surface textile irrigation provides a sustainable water solution for homeowners, using up to 60% less water than sprinkler systems.
How does KISSS work?KISSS is the only irrigation system designed specifically for use underground. Moving irrigation underground automatically eliminates wasteful watering by reducing run-off and evaporation and provides protection for the system from harsh climate and accidental damage.
KISSS' intelligent design reduces water logging, run off and tunneling and can be used with potable, recycled or greywater. As no water is wasted, KISSS is the perfect solution for drought-proofing your garden.
The Difference Between Subsurface Textile and Drip Irrigation
KISSS Subsurface Textile Irrigation is not a drip irrigation system. Drip irrigation systems discharge water to the soil from emitters regularly spaced along a drip line. Each emitter acts as a point source of water and so the drip line gives rise to a series of circular wetting patterns. Subsurface Textile Irrigation distributes water evenly, along the length of the system, creating a controlled, continuous wetting pattern. The KISSS irrigation system saves water by directing water straight to the root zone. Recently surface systems (such as drip irrigation) have been used below the surface, but these systems are shown to provide patchy and unreliable results as they are not designed specifically for subsurface use.
Installation and MaintenanceIrrigation and Water Technology (IWT) recommends that KISSS is installed by a qualified irrigation expert. KISSS can be self-installed in residential settings by following the KISSS Installation Guidelines: Installation is straight-forward for both retro-fitting (using trenching) into existing lawns and gardens and new ground installation. Correct maintenance ensures that turf recovers after retro fitting.
To maintain your KISSS system, the filter should be cleaned and lines flushed every 6-12 months. Automatic timer valves (if used)will require battery replacement.
What KISSS customers are saying"IWT made it easy. The Below Flow Flat product was installed 150mm(6") below the turf and this really encouraged the roots to go down and use less water. In fact, after establishment, I have only needed to irrigate once per month so this equates to using only 25mm/sqm/month. Overall I achieved a reduction of 50% of my previous water usage. I would recommend KISSS to any home user." |
