    I recently saw a YT short video describing Renaissance Italian plaza with central water well.
    About 75% of plaza was excavated and refilled with clean sand. The surface was then covered in dressed stone/tile(?).
    Roof drains emptied into the 4 corners of the plaza. The water slowly percolated through the sand toward the center where a brick lined well made access to the filtered water possible.
    Impressive for 14th-15th C

    I suggest replacing the piping from the downspouts to the "tanks" with permeable drainage piping. Its made of the same stuff, flexible, perforated, and you cover it in a membrane sock before burying it in a permeable material, it will allow fluid to permeate into it all along it's length and direct it into the retention system, as well as directing the input fluid into the system as usual.

    This is one thing I plan on doing as well. Though the clean out is going to be a small tank/box of some sort which will be easy to access. I am thinking something along the lines of a 250/500 gallon septic tank system. This way the tank may take decades to fill up.
    One thing is the fabric under the tunnels. I now have to consider this as well.
    In our septic field they do not put fabric under them as i suspect that over time small amounts of debris can flow from the tank in to the field. I think you would need 2 separate tanks inline to filter that water much better. Somthing to think about.

    • @MaxMakerChannel

    Even though germany had a lot of rain this year, I think the more future proof solution would have been to use that space for some big water tanks to store the rainwater during dry months. I would have guessed that hooking up the downspouts to an existing street frain would have been way easier that building a drain field?

    Max,
    That is practically sand, it seems. I've wondered how effective a 2 meter "posthole" would be for drainage. The numbers are:
    19.6kpa
    0.196bar
    0.194atm
    2.85psi
    It won't be fast. Just wonder if that "wetland" you videoed would be less swampy with a proper posthole.

    • @MaxMakerChannel
      @MaxMakerChannel  2 месяца назад +1

      I was considering that. But water is so cheap that it doesn’t make economic sense. 1000l cost about 5€. So we might pay 100€ a year for water. If a tank costs 3000€ it will pay for itself only in 30 years. And thats excluding maintenance.

  • @mouse11011

    Are these things cheaper then just filling a similar hole with coarsely crushed rocks and perhaps a manhole if it doesn't drain down to the substrate fast enough?

    • @MaxMakerChannel
      @MaxMakerChannel  2 месяца назад +1

      Yes! I did the calculations. The rocks are cheap but the transportation is expensive. Also rocks only provide 1/3 of the volume as these tunnels do for a given area. So you need to dig a much bigger hole.

  • @KevinHorecka
    @KevinHorecka 2 месяца назад

    Would there be any concern with things shifting while dumping the sand on or maybe even with some amount of settling? Seems like some basic fasteners throughout would have lowered the risk of anything coming apart.

    • @MaxMakerChannel
      @MaxMakerChannel  2 месяца назад +1

      The tunnels get presses together by weight. No danger there. The tunnel would support much more weight if I had compacted the sand. But I did so much compacting previously that I couldn’t be asked.

  • @tamaskovats
    @tamaskovats 19 дней назад

    thing I don't really understand is why go from the ends of the tunnels with the vent pipes, instead of the top, where you already have strong-points and where the pipes would get support from the top of the structure? the other one is cleaning the first element: I just can't imagine how you intend to do that? normally installations use a "sand-trap" element in the pipework leading to the infiltration system, that is accessible both in length (depth from ground level) and diameter. I'm sure the setup works and will hold up, but to be honest it looks janky AF. :) also, there's some practical use of rainwater as well - irrigation, flushing toilets - which could have been served well by introducing a closed rainwater tank that has its overfill lead to these skimmer tunnels. just a few thoughts... which are by no means intended to offend, just to point out spots of the installation I don't necessarily agree with - based on experience I learned installing my own biological sewage treatment and irrigation system.
