Regularly check the Eco-Indicator to identify leaks or clogs in the system. Check any subsurface system on a regular schedule by viewing the health of the planted materials. Manually flush the system after repairs to the mat and dripline. Regularly clean …
Keep the Eco-Mat lightly moist at all times. Eco-Mat emitters flow at a rate of 0.6 gallons per hour (2.2 liters per hour). With consistent 14-inch (35-centimeter) laterals, the application rate will be 0.83 inches per hour (2.1 centimeters per hour). …
Eco-Mat and PLD-ESD - Installation Details …
Establish a firm header (entry manifold) on the shortest side of irrigated area. A PVC entry manifold is recommended for durability and stability. Install each manifold below the mat, or otherwise far enough away from the curb, so as not to prevent the …
Eco-Mat is particularly effective with rooftop gardens where the growing medium is very lightweight and porous. Typical dripline cannot succeed well within this soil profile, yet the Eco-Mat performs extremely well. Always refer to the project engineer or …
Open the manual flush valve at the exhaust manifold and pressurize the system to thoroughly remove debris within the dripline. Flush until water runs clear. This could take several minutes for larger systems. Close the manual flush valve and run each zone …
In general, slightly sandy soil (sandy loam) is ideal for subsurface irrigation; this is because “medium” textured soils have the greatest amount of water available to plants due to lower capillary forces. Follow recommendations from the soils report. …
We recommend using a temporary supplemental overhead irrigation system to establish plant material in conjunction with the subsurface system. Temporary supplemental overhead irrigation can be stopped once roots have grown into the irrigated zone. …
Install and use soil moisture sensor (Soil-Clik®) on or just above the mat to maximize water savings and reduce overwatering. … Eco-Mat - moisture …
Roots can, and likely will, grow through the mat. The PET fleece defends against root intrusion into the emitters without injecting toxic chemicals or harmful metal byproducts into the soil. … Eco-Mat - Root …
