CLEVEDON, U.K. - Hydro International's range of sustainable stormwater drainage and control solutions will be demonstrated on Stand 1258 at Ecobuild 2009, 3-5 March, Earls Court. New Hydro initiatives for 2009 include innovative SUDS surface water control solutions, a range of rainwater harvesting equipment including commercial and industrial, and the unique Up-Flo^TM Filter sustainable stormwater pollution control to help meet Water Framework Directive requirements.

Hydro SUDS solutions include the latest design of the Hydro-Brake® Flow Control, the first and only BBA Certified vortex flow control device, and the modular Stormcell® and Stormbloc® storage and infiltration systems. These are now being installed in major building and commercial developments across the UK as part of the increased pressure for stormwater control within the framework of the water management cycle as well as at source flood prevention.

Hydro's unique Up-Flo^TM Filter is a proven system providing the most effective and cost efficient stormwater filtration available in the smallest footprint, and is vital in meeting the requirements of the Water Framework Directive implementation and improving the quality of stormwater discharges, offering sediment and specific pollution filtration media in a low maintenance package.

Hydro's StormBank® Pro commercial rainwater harvesting system has been exciting much interest from sustainably orientated commercial and institutional specifiers. Extended from the successful StormBank® domestic rainwater harvesting system, StormBank® Pro reinforces the message of the Save The Rain^TM campaign, aimed at persuading Government to include rainwater recycling in the Building Regulations for new buildings of any size (www.savetherain.info)


Hydro's integrated approach to dealing with stormwater extends from rainwater harvesting through flow control and SUDS systems to treatment.
