What Capacity Should I Choose?

We generally recommend higher capacity systems if you live in an area with: 1) frequent and/or heavy rains, or 2) soils high in clay or silt content, or 3) a high volume of storm water is converging on the problem area, or 4) a need to retain and percolate storm water into the ground on the property. For water in your planter area, the high and medium capacity solutions capture and carry water to a dry well, which allows it to slowly percolate into the ground. The low capacity solution captures surface runoff and carries it away before discharging to a water-safe area downstream.

Atrium Grate

An Atrium Grate provides a point to collect water and funnel it into a drainage system. It’s ideal for landscape areas because the raised design helps prevent clogging from bark and mulch. Connect an atrium grate to an EZ-Drain™ French Drain to collect and move the water coming in from the atrium grate.

Generic Pipe

Use pipe to connect your atrium grate and run water out to a pop-up emitter. PVC and corrugated pipe is available at retailers and distributors where NDS drainage products are found.

Pop-Up Emitter

A Pop-Up Emitter provides a point of release for water from a drainage system to a safe area like a curbside drain. It remains closed when dry and is designed to open when there is water flow.
