Watercourse Systems Ltd focuses on the consultancy, design, and installation of small-scale wastewater treatment systems, serving populations from 1 to 500. Their specialism lies in the optimal use of constructed wetlands, commonly known as reed beds. Since 2008, they have been the primary consultant and installer for constructed wetland treatment systems for the National Trust, demonstrating a long-standing relationship and expertise in this area.
The company highlights its invention of the Compact Vertical Flow Reedbed in 1997, which has since become an established and superior approach due to its reliability, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency. They emphasize providing the most appropriate solution for each situation, prioritizing quality, reliability, and value. Their services extend to advising on the broadest range of options, including conventional technologies and the successful application of constructed wetlands, and they offer support with regulatory liaison and installation supervision.
Watercourse Systems also provides consultancy services, including site visits for surveying and advising on the best course of action. They offer detailed guidelines for self-builders and assist with applications for consent to discharge, performance monitoring, and maintenance. The company also imports and supplies the 'Flout' dosing device from the United States, used for optimizing treatment performance in reed beds and leachfields by converting sporadic water flow into controlled, intermittent doses.
