Polypipe, the UK’s leading manufacturer of plastic sustainable drainage and water management products, is responding to the growing need for sustainable rainwater re-use systems through the launch of its Rainstream RXL.
Rainstream RXL high volume water storage
tanks are available with an optional anti-bacterial lining and have been
engineered using the same technology as Polypipe’s popular
Ridgistorm-XL large diameter pipes.
The Rainmaster range comes
with built-in Biomaster Protection, a safe, effective and permanent
antimicrobial additive based on silver ion technology.
With
Biomaster Protection the range has been independently tested to ISO
22196:2011 and has been proven to reduce the growth of harmful,
pathogenic bacteria such as Legionella, Listeria, Campylobacter, MRSA,
E.coli and Pseudomonas on the inner surface of the tank by up to 99.9%.
The
Rainstream RXL tank’s modular design allows any storage capacity to be
created and features an integral pre-storage filter - eliminating the
need to make connections between the chamber and the tank.
Exceptionally
strong, Rainstream RXL offers all the functionality of large-scale GRP
sub surface tanking and in most cases can be installed using a single
sized granular backfill, as opposed to a more costly concrete support
structure. And with no need to fill the tanks with water during
installation, tens of thousands of litres of water can be saved.
“Rainstream RXL has been designed and developed to help specifiers, engineers and contractors overcome these challenges and
achieve
significant cost and environmental savings too,” said Darren Crane,
National Sales Manager Rainwater Harvesting at Polypipe.
