Benefits of the Aquacomb System

The Aquacomb System has been specifically designed to manage domestic rainwater and stormwater. This water harvesting system comprises a series of interconnected water storage pods that can be housed wholly within a concrete slab or under any hard, covered surface. Currently the water pods are configured in 2 sizes,

1100(L) x 1100(W) x 300(D)
1100(L) x 1100(W) x 225(D)

allowing the system to be designed to hold multiple amounts of water resulting in higher yields and less dependence on mains drinking water. The materials used in the construction of the water pods complies to relevant Australian Standards for drinking water and carry a 20 year material guarantee. Standard materials and fittings have been used in the design to simplify the system and minimise costs. Installation of the Aquacomb System is quick and simple and is certified by a licenced plumber.

The modular water pod storage system is designed to complement the current pod construction method and replaces styro foam pods as required to obtain the necessary storage volume. Because the system is fully incased within the concrete slab the threat of any algae growth or insect breeding is kept to a minimum. Valuable land space is optimised for the home owner and the original aesthetics of the home as designed by the architect or designer are maintained. This also minimises the impact on the visual environment that occurs with above ground water tanks and eliminates the need to excavate for underground tanks. The Aquacomb System has been pressure tested to ensure that there are no leaks. Each pod can comfortably carry the weight of 5 adults and has been load tested up to 2,000kg.

All materials used in the modular pod construction are recyclable and with each pod weighing less than 20kg, the system is OH&S friendly. The system does not require class 10b council approval for structures.
