All installation teams are required to complete stringent training programmes to ensure Fullflow’s demanding quality standards are maintained.

Research & Development
Fullflow have a full size syphonic test rig at Sheffield University available for testing and research development. Our on-going research and development programme is focused on driving through product enhancement so that further benefits can be passed on to the customer. The programme covers areas such as outlet design, flow characteristics of pipework systems and the optimisation of outlet location. At all times our focus is on the provision of a high quality, high efficiency system offering value for money.

Understanding Syphonic Drainage CPD Seminar
We are pleased to offer our RIBA approved CPD seminar ‘Understanding Syphonic Drainage’ throughout the UK and Ireland.
The presentation contains detailed information on the development of syphonic rainwater systems, how they operate and the
associated advantages of a syphonic system.

Benefits of a Fullflow Syphonic Rainwater Drainage System:

• Syphonic systems require fewer outlets and downpipes than a gravity equivalent.
• Design flexibility / aesthetically pleasing designs - Collection mains can be routed horizontally throughout the building, no
  need for pipes to be fitted on a gradient.
• Saves money - Up to 80% less downpipes and fewer outlets
  required, resulting in reduced materials and minimal groundwork.
• Complete control over downpipe discharge location gives
  increased design and programme flexibility.
• Rainwater harvesting - Rainwater can be easily routed to collection tanks for future recycling e.g. irrigation, fire ponds and sanitation.
• Greater performance - pipes are designed to run 100% full of water at high velocity. A single Fullflow syphonic downpipe drains up to 8 times the flow of an equivalent single gravity downpipe.
• Reduced installation time - Up to 80% less downpipes
  required and fewer outlets required, resulting in reduced
  materials and minimal groundwork. 
• Acceleration of construction programme due to reduced
  installation time.
• Syphonic systems are self-cleansing because of high flow
  rates, thereby minimising maintenance costs.
• Pipe diameters are generally smaller than traditional alternatives due to full volume discharge
• Designs can be varied to cater for a range of specifier requirements (for example protection levels & pipe specification)
• Downpipes are generally located inside buildings which provides visual enhancement in the majority of situations
