How it works
-
Hydrowick absorbs surface moisture and allows for water to pass through its open stainless core using passive capillary action to pull water and manage where it is channeled and dispersed.
-
With Hydrowick's unique design you can address surface moisture and ponding water with fast free flow drainage and significant flow capacity within hours of heavy rain.
-
Hydrowick addresses excess water that is inaccessible by conventional pipe systems allowing for quicker recovery time and improved turf quality.
Let's Get Technical
-
Hydrowick can be installed anywhere from 6"-12" (15-30cm) below the playing surface. The Hydrowick installation process incorporates a 1'' (25mm) sand curtain allowing for surface water to efficiently drain more effectively than typical conventional drainage systems.
-
The size of the pores of the Hydrowick element, and its unique installation technique, ensures no ground composition/silting will impede drainage capabilities. The 1" (25mm) element has proven to increase drainage by over 70% when compared to conventional systems.
