HydroChill

Hydro-Chill - How does it work?

As the synthetic lawn surface is heated by the sun, moisture stored in HydroChill is released slowly through evaporative cooling. Evaporative cooling is the same means of thermoregulation that a body uses to cool itself through sweating. The evaporating moisture removes heat, leaving a cooler, more comfortable surface for families and pets.

The ambient temperature does not necessarily dictate surface temperature. The solar radiation time period, sun’s angle, cloud cover, wind, and other elements all contribute to the temperature of the surface.

A standard lawn with a wet surface will cause some cooling, but temperatures can quickly rise and may exceed uncomfortable levels of heat. A HydroChill lawn has been shown to create a substantial temperature difference in real-world applications. Although results will vary due to geographic location and local conditions, HydroChill has achieved 30°F – 50°F lower surface temperatures compares to a standard synthetic lawn surface.
