The kit ships with three interlocking side panels and a top cover with pipe knockouts so you can connect standard 4\" sewer and drain or Sch 40 piping. Because its interior is largely hollow, the Flo-Well provides more detention volume than traditional gravel-filled dry wells while requiring far less excavation material and no heavy stone backfill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Flo-Well capture and release runoff?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit accepts incoming flow through knockouts in the top cover and in the side panels, directing water into the tank. Water is temporarily detained inside, then seeps out through the open bottom and optional punched weep holes to infiltrate the native soil below and around the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop-cover knockout fits 4\" S\u0026amp;D pipe for direct connection from channel drains or catch basins\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwelve side-panel knockouts let you place connections at the optimal elevation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen bottom design accelerates infiltration into surrounding gravel or native soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGravel required only as a base layer to prevent scouring—no heavy stone fill needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the installation options and load capacities?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFlo-Well is engineered for flexible placement: it can be buried, stacked, or combined with other units to match site detention needs.
