I have designed about 30 commercial projects using a similar product from Toro that in my opinion is a better solution. I don't like the high concentration of hazardous chemicals in the Netafim filter. With subsurface, uniformity is really excellent, especially on small areas where other designers typically use sprays. I estimate 30% water savings just because of better uniformity. Add to that no runoff, evaporation, and no need to adjust nozzles, and drip is a great solution for certain areas. Subsurface really works great.
