The system
Rainwater management with a unique all-in-one system
Rainwater is one of the most valuable resources there is. Yet every day we let thousands of litres of clean rainwater disappear into the sewer system. We rarely give it a moment's thought, but this can be costly both for society and for our ecosystem.
Giving Mother Nature a helping hand!
Rainwater infiltration systems such as Raincycle ensure that rainwater is gradually released into the ground in a controlled way. Via the groundwater, the rainwater is returned to the natural water cycle. You could say that we're giving Mother Nature a helping hand.
Reducing the chance of flooding
During periods of heavy rainfall, infiltration systems also reduce the chance of flooding. The high degree of permeability of this kind of system means that large quantities of water can be infiltrated into the ground in a controlled manner.
This is advantageous, because a sudden large influx of rainwater into the sewers can cause major problems.
Drainage system
If the ground nevertheless becomes saturated with groundwater after a persistent downpour, the overflow of the infiltration system removes the excess water to the sewer system. And since the geotextile allows groundwater to seep into the crates, Raincycle also functions as a drainage system.
Waterlogged lawns and puddles in the flowerbeds will be a thing of the past.
What about legislation?
EU policy strongly promotes the implementation of rainwater infiltration measures. Legislation is in the pipeline to make the use of infiltration systems compulsory in both new-build and renovation projects.
Advantages
Each Raincycle infiltration crate is made up of seven individual panels, which can be fitted together to make a box shape in no time. The panels are already covered with a 100% water-permeable geotextile membrane. Once a crate has been assembled, it is fully ready for use. Raincycle infiltration crates are not pre-assembled, so they can be compactly packed and transported, which also reduces their environmental footprint.
Raincycle engineers have developed a very simple system that is suitable for both DIY and professional use. Unlike most Industrial systems, Raincycle has been designed for small and medium-sized projects, such as car parks, residential homes and apartment buildings. It consists of separate modules that are connected together to form a customised unit. No need for specialised companies to do complicated calculations.
You simply combine as many modules as you need.
To complete the picture, Raincycle Always opts for sustainable and recycled materials. This means that we are committed to using environmentally responsible plastics, which can be fully recycled again. In this way, Raincycle contributes to the circular economy.
Connection
Direct connection to the drains
When the drains collecting rainwater from the roof, patio or car park are directly connected to Raincycle (without a rainwater cistern), it is important to place a sand filter upstream of the infiltration crates to prevent dirt and sand fouling the infiltration system. If the infiltration system overflow is connected to the sewers, a non-return valve should be fitted.
Lay all pipes with a fall of 1 cm per metre to ensure that the water runs freely.
