Standing water makes turf slippery, smelly, and off-limits. MaxDrain accelerates how fast liquids pass through the backing so surfaces dry quickly after rain, pool splash, or pet use. With significantly increased perforation density<\/strong> (up to 3\u00d7 more drain points than conventional backings), MaxDrain helps keep play areas, patios, rooftops, and sports zones usable\u2014and complaints to a minimum.<\/p>\n","what_is_tech":" MaxDrain is a RealTech\u00ae backing design that adds many more, evenly distributed perforations<\/strong> across the roll to increase total open area for water flow. The technology is built into the backing during manufacturing\u2014nothing to install separately\u2014so drainage performance is consistent across the entire surface<\/strong> and invisible from above.<\/p>\n","how_it_works":" Water exits turf primarily through its backing. By tripling the number of perforations<\/strong>, MaxDrain creates more pathways for water and urine to pass into the base layer, which speeds vertical flow and reduces surface pooling. When combined with proper base construction<\/strong> (permeable aggregate, correct compaction, slope), liquids move down and away instead of lingering on top\u2014supporting a cleaner, safer, and drier surface in real-world use.<\/p>\n","benefits":{"item-0":{"benefit_icon":{"id":1025,"url":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Drainage-Icon-1.svg"},"benefit_title":"Triple Drainage Power","benefit_text":"Backing with three times the perforations of standard turf ensures faster water flow."},"item-1":{"benefit_icon":{"id":554,"url":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Pool-Icon.svg"},"benefit_title":"Ideal for Pools & Pets","benefit_text":"Prevents water and waste buildup in areas where drainage matters most."},"item-2":{"benefit_icon":{"id":1039,"url":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Weather-Resistant-Icon.svg"},"benefit_title":"All-Weather Usability","benefit_text":"Keeps surfaces usable even after heavy rain, reducing downtime."},"item-3":{"benefit_icon":{"id":997,"url":"https:\/\/realturf.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Proven-Technology-Icon.svg"},"benefit_title":"Cleaner, Safer Turf","benefit_text":"Reduces moisture retention, minimizing bacteria growth and odors."}},"faqs":{"item-0":{"question":"Does MaxDrain replace the need for infill?","answer":"No. Infill still supports fiber position, comfort, and ballast. Choose project-appropriate infill (often mineral infill near pools\/pet areas) and maintain levels for best results."},"item-1":{"question":"Where is MaxDrain most beneficial?","answer":"Poolsides, pet zones, playgrounds\/schools, rooftops\/terraces, and high-traffic landscapes\u2014anywhere quick dry-out, cleanliness, and slip reduction matter."},"item-2":{"question":"Do I still need a properly built base and slope?","answer":"Yes. MaxDrain accelerates vertical flow, but you still need a free-draining base with correct grading so water can disperse. Poor sub-base = poor drainage."},"item-3":{"question":"Does MaxDrain help with pet odors?","answer":"It helps by reducing dwell time on the surface so urine can pass into the base more quickly. Pair with good flushing, correct infill, and periodic enzymatic cleaners for best odor control."},"item-4":{"question":"Does MaxDrain change how the turf looks or feels?","answer":"No. The increased perforation pattern is in the backing, not the face. You keep the same color, softness, and blade realism of the selected product."},"item-5":{"question":"Can MaxDrain be combined with other RealTech\u00ae features?","answer":"Absolutely\u2014MaxDrain works well with BacteriaFree (hygiene), FiberFresh (cooling), BodyShape\/MaxRecover (resiliency), and FireProof.
