RESISTS CLOGGING- capillary action pulls water vertically from the ground, separating (instead of filtering) the water from the soil, leaving behind any material that could clog the belt.

FLEXIBLE- Made of extruded PVC, SIFON Drain Belt is very flexible and will contour to the shape of the ground where it is installed. This cuts down on unnecessary digging and excavation.

LAMINAR FLOW- SIFON Drain Belt's micro-siphon design ensures a smooth laminar flow of the drainage water. This feature ensures a long lasting
and efficient drainage system.

DURABLE- Because of its low profile design, SIFON Drain Belt is extremely durable. With a compressive strength of 61,440 psf, SIFON Drain Belt is one of the most crush resistant materials on the market today.

EASY TO TRANSPORT AND STORE- A roll of SIFON Drain Belt (330 feet long) is only 20 inches in diameter.

The Patented Micro-Channel Design Produces Greater Water Flow

SIFON Drain Belt radically departs from the old method of drainage by changing the way drainage is accomplished.  SIFON Drain Belt uses capillary and siphon actions to actively drain excess water quickly and efficiently.  Instead of waiting for the water to enter the drain, SIFON Drain Belt actually pulls water from the ground with its siphoning action.  Utilizing the capillary action, water is placed under control creating an efficient and turbulence free environment to evacuate excess water without clogging.  SIFON Drain Belt does not require stone aggregate or filters.  All that is needed is free draining sand, SIFON Drain Belt and solid wall PVC.  Foot by foot, SIFON Drain Belt is more efficient and longer lasting than traditional drainage materials.

THE OLD WAY

Traditionally subsurface drainage has been accomplished using panel drains, French drains or perforated pipe.  All of these products rely on the same principles, water would enter the drain through a filter material  or stone aggregate and be drained away by gravity.  These drainage methods, while effective in the short term, have a number of disadvantages associated with them.

DISADVANTAGES OF TRADITIONAL DRAINAGE

Limited lifespan due to clogging... Bulky design requires significant amount of space to transport and store... Costly installation materials required such as stone aggregate, adapters, filter envelopes, etc.... Delicate construction can lead to crushing by installation equipment and other heavy loads... High particulate count in effluent due to turbulent water flow leads to clogging and sediment loss.
