Consultation for your reedbed needs


Today a reedbed system to turn polluted water, effluent, sewage, slurry, contaminated land, etc into something safe and usable is called an artificial wetland ecosystem. These systems can be built almost anywhere at reasonable cost and are very efficient especially with the addition of special microbes that enhance the natural chemical and physical processes.

We offer a DIY or full design and build service, and advocate anyone thinking of an alternative treatment system to get in touch and find out more.The alternative is that one can spend years reading through the almost limitless number of papers on the subject that all say the same thing but use different words.

The fact is that man has been using reeds to successfully clean water for drinking for thousands of years. It is simple, trustworthy and requires little or no intereference from man to work properly. Read the article "Blowing in the wind" on our info page to learn more about reedbed systems.

 
 
 

Call, on 01933 278 122 or send an email with "informal" in the subject line, to arrange an informal chat to see whether your ideas can be realised through using a reedbed, because not all schemes can benefit from this system.

It will not cost you anything to ask the questions and we are happy to answer. It might save you a lot of time and money.
