| Can the Aqua-Swirl be installed in traffic loaded areas? |
 | When installed in traffic areas, the system will be designed to withstand H20 loading. In order to accomplish this, a reinforced concrete pad shall be poured in place above the system.
See the “Installation and Fabrication†PDF, in the catalog tab, for sample concrete pad details and further details on installation and the use of HDPE.

| Can the Aqua-Swirl be installed in standing water? |
| All Aqua-Swirl Concentrator systems are supplied with an octagonal base plate, which extends a minimum of 6†beyond the outside diameter of the swirl chamber. The function of the extension on this base plate is to provide additional surface area to counter any buoyant force exerted on the system. The forces created on the base plate by the weight of the surrounding fill material offsets the buoyant force generated within the system. If needed, concrete can be poured directly onto the base plate to provide additional resistive force. AquaShield engineering staff can provide buoyancy calculations for your site-specific conditions.
