Searching for the best water management system that you can buy online? Here are some tips to get the best multi functional water management system. Taking into account the soil conditions, sizes of available crates, and the estimated water flow rate, you can start by excavating the site where you plan to install the soakaway crates. After doing this, you can then level the ground. This is necessary to ensure it is stable.
A soakaway provides a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) which complies with this regulation. See more in Building regulations below. When you have drained the water from the ground you will need to direct it somewhere. It should be directed into the rainwater or storm drain system of the mains drains or into a soakaway, but never into a foul water system. You should not direct rain water into a cess pit or septic tank either (see our project on Foul and Surface Water Drainage Systems for more information).
While we recommend your ground-worker conducts a soil percolation test and creates a set of calculations, there is an alternative method that will give you a rough idea of the soakaway size you’ll need: If your soil type is not too heavy/clay, you can assume that one crate (1000mm L x 500mm W x 400mm H) will be sufficient for ten sq metres of driveway or roof covering etc. Five crates are equal to 1 cubic metre, and one cubic metre is suitable for 50 square metres of surface area. So get your tape measure out and calculate the total surface area in square metres.
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.
