How does the system work

Dry clays that are capable of absorbing water, if unconfined, will increase in volume in an amount proportional to the amount of water absorbed. However, the amount of water absorbed and the degree of expansiveness for particular types of clay are dependent on many variable and interrelated factors that have not been, and probably cannot be, formulated in such terms as to be applicable to all possible combinations that exists in nature.

Hunter - the brains of the system

Our revolutionary Techfilter protects the system

Techline's Self-Cleaning, Pressure Compensating Dripper is a fully self-contained unit molded to the interior wall of the dripper tubing itself. Both tubing and dripper housing are manufactured from high quality synthetic elastomers to withstand chemicals and fertilizers.

As shown at left, Techline is continuously self-cleaning during operation, not just at the beginning and end of a cycle. The result is dependable, clog free operation, year after year.

The goal of foundation watering is to keep the water content of the soil under your foundation as constant as possible. Since you can't keep out the rain, the thing to do is keep the soils reasonably damp during dry periods. The more trees and large shrubs that you have, the harder this is to do. Why, because big plants have big thirsts.

The best way to water your foundation is with a specially designed foundation watering system. These systems are made of techline pressure compensating drippers that are buried in the ground around the perimeter of your foundation. A typical home will have a minimum of 4 zones, each with its own water line and control valve. For an average home, it costs from $3,000 to $6,000 to install a foundation watering system.
