Hunter ECOMAT17 Eco-Mat Subsurface Drip Mat, 32 in
Eco-Mat (ECOMAT17) is a subsurface, fleece-wrapped drip mat designed for efficient root-zone irrigation in turf, groundcovers, planted beds, and rooftop gardens. The system combines fleece-wrapped inline emitters (Eco-Wrap) with a specialized mat to distribute water uniformly beneath the surface, reducing runoff and evaporation while keeping the surface dry for high-traffic areas.
- Roll size: 32 in (80 cm) wide × 295 ft (90 m) long; covers approximately 785 sq ft per roll.
- Emitter flow: 0.6 GPH (2.2 L/hr) with emitters spaced 14 in (35 cm) on center; two parallel Eco-Wrap runs provide even lateral distribution.
- Operating requirements: 15–50 psi (1.0–3.4 bar) and minimum filtration 120 mesh (125 μm); built-in check valves prevent low-point drainage.
- Installation: recommended depth 4–6 in (10–15 cm) for turf and 4–12 in (10–30 cm) for other plantings; can be cut or overlapped to fit irregular areas.
- Applications: ideal for high-traffic turf, narrow planters, groundcovers, perennials, small shrubs, green roofs, and areas where surface wetting is undesirable.
- Warranty & service: backed by a 5-year limited warranty; consult product documents for design and installation details including Eco-Indicator and fitting options.
Eco-Mat simplifies subsurface drip irrigation for commercial and residential projects by delivering uniform moisture directly to the root zone while protecting the surface.
