Hydraway’s Greenhouse Drainage Applications

If you run a greenhouse or nursery, you need a way to drain water efficiently and effectively. You could install a trench drain or a perforated pipe system. However, Hydraway provides a more successful alternative to those more traditional drainage systems.

How Does Hydraway Work?

Hydraway’s unique design allows water to enter though its open core.. The 85% open grid allows water to enter the system 70% faster than traditional methods.

Hydraway has been tested against a traditional perforated drainage pipe. Hydraway drained water in 7 seconds, while the perforated pipe took 27 seconds to drain water.

Hydraway drains water quickly, and it has never failed due to a manufacturer’s defect. It drains excess water away from buildings, homes, landscaping, and athletic fields to prevent flooding and erosion. It can do the same for your greenhouse or nursery.

You may think that most drainage systems let water flow over or through that much of their surfaces, but that’s not the case. Having that much open space on a drainage system is unusual. Two of our flat drain competitors  only have 3.9% open surface space, and another has 10.4% open space. Hydraway drains water quickly because the water doesn’t get stuck on the surface. Instead, it flows through the grid to drain away from the greenhouse or nursery.

Why Does Hydraway’s Open Surface Area Matter?

Is Hydraway’s ability to let water flow over 75% of its surface really that important?

Yes, it is.

You may think that most drainage systems let water flow over or through that much of their surfaces, but that’s not the case. Having that much open space on a drainage system is unusual. Just look at other drainage systems: Multi-Flow only has 3.9% open surface space, and Advan-Edge has just 10.4% open space. Only Akwa-Drain comes close to us at 55% open space. Hydraway drains water quickly because the water doesn’t get stuck on the surface. Instead, it flows through the grid and passes to the next part of the system to drain away from the greenhouse or nursery.

How Does Hydraway Fit With Indoor Greenhouse Drainage?

Greenhouses need to irrigate their plants, and that irrigation can create excess water in the planters and boxes and a greenhouse’s foundation. If excess water stays in the planters, the plants can become overwatered. If it creeps into the greenhouse’s foundation, the water can cause structural problems.. It can quickly carry the water runoff away from both places and keep your plants and greenhouse in excellent shape. Hydraway works for commercial and residential greenhouses, so it can drain water from personal indoor gardens and large greenhouses full of plants. Overall, Hydraway provides the best drainage for greenhouses by removing water quickly to prevent irrigation from over-watering the indoor plants and affecting greenhouses’ foundations.

How Does Hydraway Fit With Outdoor Nursery Drainage?

Hydraway fits well with outdoor nursery drainage applications because Hydraway strip drain excels at outdoor applications. Hydraway is installed beneath the ground whether that be a nursery, an athletic field, or a parking lot. Nurseries can deal with large amounts of rainfall that cause excess water to accumulate among the rows of plants. Hydraway can fix that problem by draining and removing the water quickly, even while it’s raining.
