About This Product

The right solution for draining areas in yards prone to flooding the Flo-Well Dry Well System is installed underground to collect, temporarily store and slowly release excess water into the ground. The gravel-free interior provides 250% more detention volume than comparable sized gravel dry wells. Traditionally a dry well is an underground hole filled with heavy stone and gravel. with the Flo-Well Dry Well drainage system only a small amount of gravel is needed at the base of the tank to prevent scouring and no heavy equipment is needed to install. Water collected upstream with a catch basin or channel drain is carried by pipes into the Flo-Well Dry Well and seeps out through the open bottom and weep holes (punched out as needed). for local areas that require stormwater detention and infiltration on property the Flo-Well Dry Well System is an accepted product, either installed by itself or as part of a larger integrated setup. The Flo-Well Dry Well also works well with rain gardens and bioswales to manage the flow and absorption of runoff from impervious surfaces. We're here to help. NDS offers free tools such as the Flo-Well Drainage calculator, Home Drainage Center and NDS Stormwater Drainage mobile app to help make your project a success. The preferred choice of contractors, NDS is dedicated to helping you with the products, tools and support you need to get the job done right the first time.

        Hello can I install corrugated pipe into this or does it have to be PVC?
        ByJul 19, 2024
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hi Jarrod, you can use either pipe, whether its corrugated, PVC Sch40 or S&D pipe. Remove the 4" knockout, then bring the pipe directly into the 4" hole. No need for adapter of any kind to make the connection between the pipe and Flo-Well.

          Would I be able to fill the inside of the tank with gravel if I needed it to hold more weight
          ByJul 14, 2024
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hi Gradin, Filling the Flow Well with gravel on the inside reduces the storage capacity of the Flow Well. The Space inside the Flow Well is intended to hold water temporarily during heavy rainfall or drainage events. If the Flow Well is filled with gravel, it significantly reduces the volume of water that can be stored within the well, limiting its effectiveness in managing excess water.

            Hi Eduart, there are many factors that must be consider in order to determine how many SQFT of driveway can a Flo-Well cover. Such as: SQFT of the driveway area, 100/25-year rainfall based on your location. The coefficient of runoff, will you be adding gravel beneath or around the Flow-Well system. Once you have reviewed the information and you have any question or concerns contact me at 800-726-1994 your earliest convenience. Your success is important to us. Thank you.

              Can someone please confirm the angle between the pipe inlets? It looks like it would be 60 degrees (360 degrees/6 inlets) in they are evenly spaced but please confirm if this is correct.

                How would I attach a 4” pipe to the side knock outs on the flowell is there a flange or something I’m trying to find something to directly connect it to a 4” drain line for a drain field to extend its capacity

                Hi Jason, to connect any 4" pipe to the Flo-Well just knock out the 4" that are located on the panels, then slid the pipe directly inside. No flange or adapter required.

                  What Customers Say
                  Summarized by generative AI from text of customer reviews

                  Customers say the NDS Flo Well is a well-constructed and effective solution for managing drainage issues, particularly in areas prone to flooding. Many users appreciate its ease of assembly and sturdy design, although some found the knockout holes difficult to remove, requiring additional tools. While the product performs well in alleviating water accumulation, customers noted that it lacks a bottom and some necessary components, which can lead to additional costs and effort. Overall, it is viewed as a reliable option for DIY drainage projects.

                  Terrible design. At least they should hold water.
                  I hope I never have the displeasure of working with these again. Absolute nightmare to get most of holes knocked out and I cracked it several times even using a punch and hammer for the small leech holes. I had to use my Oscillating multitool to get the large holes for the pipes punched out. You can see that most of the holes aren’t cut deep enough to actually be punchable with a hammer. There is also zero way you can move it once assembled because the sides DO NOT stay together. I would have honestly thought I got a defective one when the first one refused to stay locked together but I needed three and all three were terrible. To remedy some yard flooding I added three in a triangle connected to each other and then to a French drain from my downspouts. Because the terrible design the side panels kept unlocking - I finally got some of the 4” wide waterproof gorilla tape and taped them after locking together. This WAS A MASSIVE HELP! You don’t have to tape the entire seam on the inside but just a few pieces to hold the sides together when adjusting position. Don’t buy these without buying the tape (duct tape would probably work too). Once the lid is on it’s fine and more stable but because I had to connect all three to each other before adding the lids, trying to get them in position without completely falling apart was just not possible without the tape. Sheese what should have been 20 min was like an hour of fiddling with these things!

                    Dry wells for flat impervious yards.
                    Good solution if you have standing water after a heavy rainfall. We have a large paving stone patio and DG by the walkway that tends to collect water during heavy rainfalls. Hardest part is digging the hole to drop the dry well into. Once the dry well was in place, used some crushed rock inside and installed a 9" low profile catch basin kit that allows me to drop a small sump pump if it fills too much before draining into the ground. Can be hooked up in series to collect more water.

                      Just installed this last night to help collect the rain water from my gutters. Seemed to be straight forward and easy to use. I used duct tape to hold the joins together while instlalling otherwise they would pop apart

                        Great product, good directions/easy install, works like a charm!
                        Flo well was easy to install with clear directions and good quality materials. Already had a couple heavy downpours and it's working like a charm. Picture taken with top off for perspective, final install will be completely covered up to overflow emitter on top.

                        Solved my sidewalk drainage problem
                        I had a drainage problem next to a paver sidewalk every spring after the snow melted and during heavy rain storms. Due to poor grading of the yard there really wasn't anywhere for the water to go. I installed this and added the top grate. We had a couple of down pours since the install and it is working great. The water no longer floods the sidewalk as the area in the yard where the water used to collect now drains properly.
