Aquathermat*

Technical Specifications:
SKU: Aquathermat*

Aquathermat® not only carries the nutritional elements to plants through its drip-tapes, its low temperature hot water pipes deliver heat were it counts.It’s assembly consists of internal drip-tapes plus the same four layers of high performance textiles as the Aquamat®.

  • Layer one acts as a water reservoir.
  • The second spreads, evenly and constantly, water throughout the entire area. It can absorb 2.1 gal./sq.yd (9.5 l/sq.m).
  • Layer three is a special fluffy textile sheet, which prevents surface evaporation while drawing water into the pot through capillary uptake.
  • The last protects the bottom layers from contamination, roots, UV rays and wear.
  • Drip tapes are placed over the second layer at 2-foot (61 cm) intervals. Warm water tubes are spaced at 3.75 inches.
