Jardinier SurfaceFlow Irrigation

Jardinier SurfaceFlow Irrigation
New laws implementing water restrictions have prompted the adoption of a new approach to watering lawns. Jardinier SurfaceFlow technology is ideal for turf irrigation where runoff or overspray is an issue. The system takes advantage of the “wicking” action inherent in porous materials, and is based on the idea that a single point of watering at the surface of the soil spreads out across the connected porous material, distributing water evenly. Water usage can be reduced up to 50 percent, saving water and reducing runoff. Damage to buildings and signs—often caused by irrigation spray—is also avoided.
