Drainage rate describes how quickly water passes through a turf product or tested surface assembly, usually under stated laboratory conditions. It does not by itself describe how quickly an installed yard can absorb and discharge water.

Pet Infill

Pet infill is an infill product marketed for artificial-grass areas used by animals. It may be selected for moisture handling, ammonia adsorption, cleanability, or reduced compaction, but performance varies and maintenance remains necessary.
