Reedbed Filtration
Reedbed Filtration is ideal for remote location, off grid housing and industrial developments.
All waste water treatment involves the bacterial breakdown of biological components, in aerobic conditions. This is true of sewage works, treatment tank systems and Reedbed Filtration Systems.
With more than 25 years experience of planners, environmental authorities, and many types of waste water treatment, we can offer either consultancy help with design and build, or complete build of vertical flow, modulated systems.
Part of our standard build includes living soakaways. These are areas of soakaway planted up with willow and iris to add evaporation to percolation and leaching. The use of living soakaways, allows for final discharge to be to land and not directly to fresh water. This meets with Environment Agency (EA) requirements. We've been doing this since 2004. Living soakaways are included in the price quoted.

More About Reedbeds
Reedbed Filtration Waste Water Treatment Systems work on a flowrate that is a little and often, and not anything and everything all at once!
Reed plants grow in springtime, usually during May. Of course this does depend on the weather and climate, which changes year to year. The main growth is during June and July.
So when you look at your Reedbed in March and there seems to be a lack of plant growth, don’t panic, I haven’t sold you dead grass and mud. The outflow should still be exactly as expected, and totally unaffected by top growth of the plants. Vertical Flow Reedbed Filtration Systems work well all year round.
