Company Description:
We are the world's only manufacturer of Micro-Porous Drip Irrigation
Systems. Our products are perfect for Home Gardeners, Commercial
Growers, and Lanscaping Projects alike. All irrigation tubes are made
with durable DuPont Tyvek.

Irrigro.com, home of International Irrigation Systems, was founded by
Robert Neff back in 1973. He still owns and operates the company from
its original headquarters, in St. Catharines, Ontario.

More info:

Irrigro drip irrigation systems replace yesterday’s obsolete watering system technology. We've eliminated single points of failure by creating a drip tube with millions of microscopic pores. By lightly pressurizing the drip lines, they uniformly sweat water like skin. These systems run automatically, without timers or even electricity, 24 hours a day. The systems are all chainable and scalable to meet your growing needs, and are available today at a price points unmatched by any competing product.

A review I found with Google search comparing Irrigro with T-Tape said that Irrigro is more expensive but lasts longer.

"For Businesses
There are many diverse applications of the Irrigro tube, many having
nothing to do with Irrigation. For example, the same tube, with air
pumped through it instead of water, we call Oxyflo, and is used in
Commercial Fish Farms for aerating the water. Here's an example:
See how the revolutionary OxyFlo micro-porous pond aeration tube works!

We also have a much larger-diameter version of our Irrigro tube (6" in
diamter and sometimes larger) that is used in stage-1 filtration of
waste water at water sanitation plants. We call that version of our
product FilterFlo.

Using similar diameters of tube as the FilterFlo product, we have two
other applications, called TreeGro and Vinegro. The TreeGro product is a
breathable, semi-permeable membrane that lets sunlight through while
keeping harmful insects and other wildlife out, allowing the trees to
grow more rapidly and also to be protected from frost damage.

The VineGro product has been used in vineyards that have vines that
stand and also need the same sort of protection that young trees do,
along with all the other benefits that go along with it having a
breathable protective shielding."
