Increasingly extreme weather must be counteracted by more complex and sophisticated drainage concepts. ACO achieves this with the intelligent WaterCycle which has a dual purpose: protecting people from water, and water from people. Every ACO product within the ACO WaterCycle therefore safely controls the water as it passes along the cycle to ensure that it can be ecologically and economically reused in a viable way.
The surface water or the liquids being treated are collected from the surface as quickly and as completely as possible by the drainage system. This part of the ACO WaterCycle guarantees protection, safety and comfort for the people, buildings and traffic routes in the immediate vicinity.
The collected liquids are treated using integrated physical, chemical or biological processes that ensure they can be discharged into the public sewers – the minimum requirement. This part of the ACO WaterCycle creates the conditions for recycling and sustainable use.
Pumps, lifting plant and pipe systems transfer the collected, treated and controlled water into the downstream systems and processes. This part of the ACO WaterCacle brings the collected, treated and controlled water to the interfaces for further treatment, re-use or release.
“In New Zealand, water is part of who we are. At ACO, we see it as our job to care for it. Our WaterCycle approach manages water responsibly from the moment it hits the ground through to its reuse, always working with the environment, not against it.”
The ACO claim ‘ACO. we care for water’ embodies the company's dedication to providing innovative solutions that help preserve and protect one of our most precious resources. ACO recognises that water is essential for life, and the company's goal is to create products that optimise its use while minimising its impact on the environment. By caring for water, ACO is demonstrating its responsibility and its commitment to creating a better world for future generations.
