What is a FLO fountain?
NDS FloWell is a fabricated dry well that is a permanent, easy-to-install solution for rainwater drainage. Used independently or as part of a larger rainwater management system, FloWell units collect, retain and drain water on site and offer a pebble-free alternative to a traditional dry well.
And how does a FLO work?
FloWell units are used independently or as part of a larger rainwater management system to naturally collect, maintain and filter rainwater from the ground, reduce pollutants and replenish the groundwater by draining the water on site.
And how effective are dry wells?
Dry wells can be a safe and efficient method of rainwater management and groundwater recharging as long as: The rainwater is not polluted. Appropriate pre-treatment is applied. Dry wells are placed in suitable places.

How many years does a well last?
Wells use pumps that move water from the ground into your home. These pumps determine the life of your well. Submersible pumps commonly used in many wells typically last eight to ten years. With proper maintenance and care, the service life can be extended up to 15 years.
How does a dry well fail?
