People looking for new measures to combat the drought and water restrictions, can now capture the rain water that falls on their lawn.
The water can then be used to wash the family car, water the garden or top up the pool.
In a world first, the company behind the new wave of synthetic lawns, has developed a water capturing system which people can choose to install beneath the ‘grass look-a-like’ synthetic lawn. A patent has recently been placed on the system.
When it rains, the lawn makes it easy to collect fresh rain water with the help of a sub-turf membrane or water run-off matt which collects the water and stores it in a subterranean water tank. The modular tank, which can sit beneath or adjacent to the lawn, can then have its water pumped to a garden tap.
Pro-tech is the company behind the concept, and its Managing Director Bill Rorke says the research and development for the product, called an Eco Logical Lawn and Water Capturing System, has now been completed and he expects the system to be very popular.
“This is the first time anyone has ever developed such a product. We know it is viable because the concept is simple and it’s a great way to save water and deal with the water restrictions.
“The synthetic lawn has already been a huge success all around Australia, especially in terms of saving water, and capturing the water that passes through the lawn will take water-saving to the next level,” said Rorke.
Pro-tech believes its Eco Logical system will be ideal for residential and commercial properties as well as synthetic sporting surfaces such as soccer and hockey fields.
The lawn itself was created by Pro-tech Corp Pty Ltd and is based on a unique European concept using the process of ‘fibrillation’ to split the fibres and give the lawn the grass-like look and feel. ***
