Rockflow fills up rapidly with water and is ready within 24 hours for the next peak rainfall
It's becoming an increasingly common picture: a cloudburst occurs, and the streets are flooded. The sewer system simply can't cope. Eventually, the water is drained via the sewer, but by then, damage, nuisance, and water pollution may have already occurred.
With solutions from ROCKWOOL Rainwater Systems, this image becomes a thing of the past. Even in densely built cities, you can cleverly create space for rain underground.
Rockflow stone wool elements have up to 95% free space. This space is available for the rapid capture of rainwater. In a system, water is supplied from below. The buffer fills with water from the bottom, and the air escapes through the vent at the top.
The speed of collecting water is determined by the size of the system, the water pressure, and the number of available inlets. Normally, the design accounts for the system to be filled in a maximum of 15 minutes.
The inlet channels provide for the rapid capture of rainwater into the Rockflow system.
