Jacopa offers a wide range of HydroSlide^® flow regulators suitable for use within foul and surface water sewers and river and attenuation ponds. This allows controlled flows to pass downstream limiting the potential for flooding. The constant discharge throughout the required head range also minimises the volume of upstream attenuation required.

Key Features & Benefits

• A wide range of models to regulate flows within foul and surface water systems

• Large units available for river control
• Many type of HydroSlide^® are adjustable ±30% from set point

• Some models with automatic blockage release function

• Manufactured from Stainless steel with brass bearings

• Variable orifice control

How We Create Value

• Certified performance with a flow accuracy of ± 5%
• Maximise downstream capacity

• Minimise upstream storage requirements
• Stepped control possible
• Low maintenance

HydroSlide^® is the generic name for a range of accurate flow regulators that can be used in foul or surface water sewers, rivers and other watercourses.

The HydroSlide^® flow regulators provide a constant discharge throughout the required head range, which utilises the permitted downstream flow rate.

By maximising the downstream discharge rate it enables upstream storage to be kept to a minimum which not only makes the overall cost of the scheme cheaper but also reduces the drain down time of attenuation structures over other types of control, enabling the attenuation system to be ready for the next storm quicker thus reducing flood risk.

Types of HydroSlide^® available are as follows:

Mini – Low head applications

VN – Intermediate head

VS – High head applications

GM – Foul sewer applications

Combi – Foul sewer applications

HYDROSLIDE^® MINI REGULATOR
