Installing soakwells this weekend and have the following options: 1. Tank type (versitank or ausdrain cell) - 1 standard module per downpipe + interconnected with agpipe 2. Reln rapidflow soakwells (got a quote from the installer that states that those are superior to versitank type) - 1 per downpipe + interconnected with agpipe 3. Agpipe by itself - a bit restricted on space - would have to wrap the house around few times if going 1 agpipe per downpipe Thank you!

I think if your sides have 1.5M or less space down the side of the house you would need to interconnect the downpipes with normal stormwater pipe leading to a point out the front or back of the house with enough. Room to than use whatever you like so it doesn't undermine the foundation of the house. Re: SOAKWELLS - How easy are they to put in and install ? 77Apr 01, 2011 1:17 pm Hi guys! For those of you looking for the crate type soakwells, I wanted to pass on the details of a guy in Perth. Superb service! His website is http://www.soakwellsolutions.com.au I am not involved in this business, just wanted to pass on his details. The crates (132L) come pre-assembled, hole pre-drilled, with geofabric already wrapped. The crates are $52 each and if you order good quantity (like I did) - $50. Also PVC and bends and grades way cheaper then Bunnings.

Wont be needing his service for a few months yet. thanks alot. No probs. I am going DIY as well. The guy is offering free delivery as well. Those crates work out cheaper than the Reln SW with sock that Bunnings sells (sw, sock, top cover) and tubing and other accessories are cheaper too. Don't make the mistake I did - think about sw BEFORE the driveway is laid!
