Therefore, Aquabox can drain 3 times more water than gravel for the same basin volume. It allows uniform diffusion of stormwater in all directions, ensuring the absorption and slow release of water during intense rainfall with high flow rates.\r\n\r\nThe modularity of Aquabox allows it to adjust to any basin shape, making it adaptable to congested urban areas. Since it is lightweight, stackable, and easy to install, Aquabox lowers transportation and installation costs in comparison with gravel and reduces traffic pollution. It saves storage space, making the construction work significantly more efficient than working with gravel.\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aquabox is 3 times more efficient product for rainwater drainage compared to gravel.
