Water on Walkway (High): Installation Instructions
- Dig trench for EZ-Drain and Flo-Well. Flo-Well(s) should be installed under the areas where the runoff is collecting.
- Dry fit (no glue) the entire drainage system from the EZ-Drain to the Pop-Up Emitter.
- The Flo-Well should be installed at least 10’ away from any existing structure.
- Measure and cut all pipe to necessary lengths.
- After completing each step, glue parts together if a water tight connection is required.
TIP: If installing the drain in an existing concrete area, a wet concrete saw will be required to cut the concrete prior to installation.
- Connect sections of EZ-Drain with internal corrugated couplers and place an end cap on the end that does not connect to the Flo-Well.
- Lay EZ-Drain pipe in the trench.
- Knock out the appropriate holes in the side panels of the Flo-Well where the EZ-Drain will be installed.
- Assemble the Flo-Well using the interlocking side panels.
- Slide the drain pipe through the hole in the Flo-Well side panels.
TIP: Lay the Flo-Well panels on bricks or other hard surfaces and use a hammer to knock out the holes in the side panels.
- Knock out the center hole of the Flo-Well lid.
- Place the lid on the Flo-Well side panels then place the Flo-Well Surface Inlet onto the Flo-Well lid.
- Using a Corrugated Pipe Adapter, connect the EZ-Drain to an elbow with a weep hole. The elbow should be installed with the weep hole on the horizontal side of the elbow.
- Slide the Pop-up Emitter onto the elbow. An additional length of pipe can be used to bring Pop-up emitter to the surface.
TIP: To avoid damaging your Pop-Up Emitter with your lawn mower, raise the cutting level of the blades or avoid passing the mower over the Pop-Up Emitter.
- Backfill and replace any grass or plants that were removed.
TIP: DO NOT BACKFILL WITH SOIL WITH HIGH CLAY CONTENT.
Water must be able to easily pass through the backfilled soil.
