Main Advantages of the Easy Dry Well Plastic Stormwater System

Installing the Easy Dry Well system is a smart home improvement solution that reduces the risk of water damage and improves your property's drainage. The system is lightweight, modular, and requires minimal tools to install — no need to bury concrete barrels or dig deep pits. Thanks to its plastic design, it won’t collapse, even under long-term pressure from soil or light pedestrian traffic. Its innovative structure includes a lid, optional filter fabric, and side ports that allow you to extend or connect to other systems like a French drain or sump pump. This stormwater leaching system stores runoff and then gradually discharges it into the ground, reducing surface water and protecting your foundation.

Ideal Areas to use Dry Well

The Easy Dry Well system is perfect for managing water in both residential and commercial properties, especially where surface water needs to be reduced. Use it in yards, lawn areas, beneath downspouts, or near roofs to collect and drain water safely. It’s a great addition to landscape drainage, gutter extensions, or to improve flow around your foundation and prevent erosion. The system can be placed beneath driveways, patios, or even garden beds, requiring minimal excavation and no concrete. This underground solution is an efficient way to manage stormwater and prevent pooling in low-lying areas.

How to Install the Easy Dry Well Plastic Stormwater System

Installing a dry well is straightforward and requires minimal tools and effort. First, dig a hole to the recommended depth based on soil conditions and drainage needs. Create a stable base with gravel or crushed stone. For improved filtration, fill the unit with gravel around its body. Place the unit into the pit, ensuring the drainage holes align with the desired water flow direction. Attach the 3 side panels and secure the geotextile sheet around the system. Connect your downspout or other storm drains to the port using PVC or flexible pipe. The system will now allow rain to enter, be filtered through the gravel, and be stored temporarily before being released into the soil. Proper slope, pipe alignment, and coverage ensure long-term performance and minimize the risk of debris buildup or water overflow. Since the unit is underground, it’s discreet and safe, providing an effective solution for rainwater control.

FAQ

What is the water capacity of the Easy Dry Well system?

The Easy Dry Well unit has a storage capacity of 185 liters (48.8 gallons), making it highly effective for handling heavy storm events and large volumes of runoff.

What pipe sizes are compatible with this system?

The Easy Dry Well fits 3", 4", and 6" PVC pipes, making it versatile for both new and retrofit installations.

Can this system be installed under pedestrian areas?

Yes, the Easy Dry Well is rated Class A for load handling, meaning it can be safely installed beneath sidewalks, patios, or walkways. It offers a reliable alternative to bulky concrete systems in areas with foot traffic.

What components are included in the Easy Dry Well kit?

The Easy Dry Well kit includes 4 interlocking side panels, a durable lid, and a geotextile sheet for filtration. The components easily lock together with a simple assembly — no tools required.

Can this system be used with other Vodaland drainage products?

Absolutely! The Easy Dry Well can be used on its own or combined with other Vodaland products like drain wells, trench drains, or catch basins. It’s designed to seamlessly integrate into both surface and underground drainage systems.

Is there a tool to calculate how many units I need for my project?

Yes, we provide an online tool to help calculate how many Easy Dry Well units your project needs, ensuring accuracy and efficiency for any drainage system. Use this tool instead of rough estimations for the best results — it will save you time and money.

What’s the difference between the Easy Dry Well and a French drain?

The Easy Dry Well is a stormwater storage system that collects and holds runoff before gradually releasing it into the soil. It’s ideal for isolated drainage points like downspouts or low spots. A French drain, on the other hand, is a linear system designed to redirect water along a path, often using perforated pipes in gravel. The two can complement each other but serve different functions.

What material is the Easy Dry Well made of?

The Easy Dry Well is made from durable PPE plastic with UV resistance. Unlike clay or metal systems, it won’t rust, collapse, or degrade in harsh soil conditions. Its perforated structure allows natural drainage into the surrounding ground.
