Site Temporary Water Points

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

Water points for wet trades’ use have been developed in order to minimise water wastage, prevent contamination of grey water systems, and consider client and building insurers requirements.

The dedicated water points for wet trades provide a central point for operatives to obtain water and clean tools on site in a controlled, manageable manner.

The benefits are as follows:

  • Water supply via a percussion bib tap which automatically closes after 30 seconds which minimises wastage of water;
  • Dispenses into a catchment tank which is hard piped back to a local soil stack. Waste outlet is 50mm above bottom of catchment tank. Slurry from cleaning trowels and paint brushes settles in bottom of tank and does not enter grey water system;
  • Water point is contained in a waterproof bund which has a minimal risk of flooding the local area or through the building;
  • Generally, this is a clean efficient way of providing water on site for wet trades and minimises the use of water whilst mitigating the risk of flooding.
