Why Is a Vortex Flow Control Device Essential for Drainage Efficiency?

1. Sustainable Water Sustainable Water Management Solutions Management Solutions Innovative drainage and water-reuse systems for modern infrastructure

2. The Challenge: Urban Water Pressures The Challenge: Urban Water Pressures Flooding Risk Flooding Risk Water Scarcity Water Scarcity Climate change intensifies rainfall events, overwhelming Growing demand and supply constraints require traditional drainage infrastructure and threatening urban innovative approaches to reduce mains water developments across the UK. consumption and improve resource efficiency. Modern construction demands integrated solutions that address both excess water and conservation simultaneously.

3. SuDS Planters: Nature SuDS Planters: Nature- -Based Drainage Based Drainage SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) Planters represent a sophisticated approach to managing rainwater runoff through engineered green infrastructure. These manufactured solutions capture stormwater from roofs and paved surfaces, slow its release, and naturally filter pollutants through carefully designed soil layers and vegetation. Water Quality Water Quality Biodiversity Biodiversity Removes pollutants and sediments Creates urban habitat for plants and before discharge wildlife Flood Prevention Flood Prevention Attenuates peak flows during storm events

4. How SuDS Planters Work How SuDS Planters Work Capture Capture Rainwater from roofs and hard surfaces enters the planter through designed inlets Filtration Filtration Water percolates through engineered soil media that removes contaminants Treatment Treatment Vegetation and microorganisms break down pollutants naturally Controlled Release Controlled Release Clean water discharges at regulated rates to prevent downstream flooding

5. Vortex Flow Control: Intelligent Hydraulics Vortex Flow Control: Intelligent Hydraulics Vortex flow control devices regulate stormwater discharge rates through hydrodynamic principles rather than mechanical components. By creating a controlled vortex within the chamber, these systems limit outflow during peak events—protecting downstream infrastructure without maintenance-intensive moving parts. This passive technology optimizes storage capacity, prevents system overload, and provides reliable performance across decades of operation. 1 1 2 2 3 3 Self Self- -Regulating Regulating Flow Optimization Flow Optimization Cost Cost- -Effective Effective No mechanical parts means zero maintenance and maximum reliability Precisely controls discharge to match infrastructure capacity Reduces storage volume requirements and operational expenses

6. Grey Water Recycling: Resource Conservation Grey Water Recycling: Resource Conservation Grey water recycling captures lightly contaminated water from baths, showers, and washbasins—treating it for non-potable reuse in toilet flushing, landscape irrigation, and cleaning applications. This closed-loop approach dramatically reduces mains water demand while cutting utility costs. 45 45% % 30% 30% 25% 25% Water Savings Water Savings Cost Reduction Cost Reduction Wastewater Decrease Wastewater Decrease Average reduction in mains consumption for residential buildings Typical decrease in annual water bills Less strain on sewage treatment infrastructure
