Looking for the best rainwater storage and recycle management system that you can purchase online? Here are some advices to get the best soakaway crates for drainage system. You can use soakaway crates for attenuation in domestic and commercial projects. It is a good idea to install a soakaway crate system to control the surface water level. This is necessary for areas that are prone to flooding or experience heavy rains. For instance, they can be combined with pipework and geotextile to create an effective attenuation system that can redirect the water collected into storm drains or where it is required at an acceptable flow rate. In this way, you minimize the risk of flooding by installing a filter to control the flow rate.
Once you have dug your 1m x 1m x 1m hole and clipped your crate together you will then have to line your hole with a very tough but porous membrane such as a geotextile membrane (make sure you use plenty as you will need to wrap your soakaway block in this membrane). This will allow water to pass into the void of the crate but keep any soil and sediment out as this will eventually fill your crate and prevent it from draining correctly. With your hole now lined you can now place your soakaway crate in, but just before you do you will notice that on one end of the crate there is a circular inlet area. You will need to knock out the inside of this circular area to allow your drainage pipe to slide into the inside of the crate.
In the old days, a test pit was dug, and water poured into it and visually monitored to see if it drained away. The percolation test is still the best way to check the soil in your garden, but there is a calculation you can use which is more reliable than trusting your eyeballs. You should dig a 300 square millimetre hole 300mm below the lowest point of the proposed drainage pipe. This hole should be filled with water, and the time it takes for the water to drain away measured. This will provide you with a figure that can be used to calculate the required water storage volume for the soakaway.
According to the different rainwater source, the Multi Functional Water Management System can be roughly divided into two categories: Roof rainwater, the roof rainwater is relatively clean and with less foreign matters, mud and other pollutants, it can be drained directly into water storage system through split-flow and simple filtration for the utilization after processing. Ground rain water, there are many foreign matters in the ground rainwater with complex pollutant source, after the split-flow and rough filtration, it must be treated through sediment then to be drained into the water storage system.
