Burdens 'Rainwater harvesting - on a pallet'
combined rainwater system package
'Burdens Environmental rainwater harvesting system on a pallet solves all these problems. With three typical sizes these systems are flexible enough to cater for most domestic situations. The secret of the range lies in two areas: Firstly the whole system comes on a single pallet so it can be delivered by normal transport and is light enough to be hand carried through difficult routes to the back of properties if required. Secondly, by the use of SCS Aquavoid-D units supplied in flat packed form it is simplicity itself for a competent DIY'er to assemble and install the system.
Advantages
• Available from stock in pallet form
• Easy to deliver with standard transport
• Can be hand offloaded if required
• Ability to take through gateways etc to rear of property
• Self assembly (no specialist tradesmen required)
• Shallow system (can be hand dug if required)
• Virtually maintenance free
