The SDS vortex flow control is used to control the rate at which water is released from a stormwater storage system to downstream drainage systems.
It is a self-activating device which controls the rate of water release by inducing a vortex motion. No external energy supplies are needed and it contains no moving parts.
Units are equipped with a drain down/by-pass mechanism which is remotely operated from ground level. In the event of a blockage at the inlet or outlet, the mechanism allows drain down without the need for pumping or bypass penstocks and pipework.
A range of SDS vortex flow controls is available to meet the specific requirements of each installation.
Features and benefits
Self-activating and no moving parts
High hydraulic performance
Large outlet diameter minimises the risk of blockage
