Searching for the best multi functional water management system that you can purchase online? Here are some tips to pick the best rainwater storage and recycle. 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.

Due to the popularity of drainage systems such as the soakaway and French drain, there are now quite a few products available on the market that have taken the principals of construction of the affore mentioned drainage types and refined them. One such product is known as the Soakaway Crate (or sometimes known as Aquablocks, water blocks or soakaway drainage crates). These are very handy products in that they effectively take the place of the rubble infill in the soakaway pit. They look very similar to large milk crates but with a bit more constructive stability and are purchased in a flat pack form that you then simply clip together to form a box shape.

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.
