Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines for setup and care:
- Trenching: Dig a trench deep enough to slope at a gradient of at least 1:100 to encourage gravity-fed water flow.
- Backfilling: Always surround the pipe with a layer of clean gravel or shingle before backfilling with topsoil to prevent blockage.
- Geotextile Wrapping: For areas with fine, sandy soil, consider wrapping the pipe in a geotextile membrane to provide an extra layer of filtration against silt.
- Handling: If the pipe is stiff due to cold temperatures, store it in a warmer area before uncoiling to make it easier to manage.
- Maintenance: Periodically check your system's discharge point to ensure the outlet is not clogged by debris or plant growth.
