Concrete Soakwells; 1200 x 900mm 716kg, 1017L capacity
Concrete Soakwells maybe strong and durable, but they are heavy and drain very slowly do to the limited drainage area at the base.
These 1200 x 900mm soakwells weigh 716kg but only have a 1017L capacity, which means they can service up to a 80m2 roof area. You can imagine the size of soakwell required for a whole house!
The mistake many people make is installing multiple small concrete soakwells as the large ones are too heavy and awkward to install. Unfortunately, these soakwells fill up like a bucket during heavy downpours, and overflow causing soil erosion and water damage. If you want to install concrete soakwells, make sure the capacity is sufficient (go big!!) and make sure there is sufficient access for large plant machinery, such as 5T excavator, to do this. In other words, don't wait till your house is built. Install these soakwells while there is plenty of access and limited risk to your property.
