Roseaux Sanitation Garden
Is your individual sanitation system no longer up to standard and do you need to replace it? Are you building a house that is not connected to the mains drainage system? Do you have a project for agricultural or semi-collective sanitation for a holiday cottage, a campsite, etc.?
Thanks to the Sanitation Gardens, it is now possible to effectively evacuate domestic wastewater without damaging the environment. Several companies now assist individuals in the design and installation of planted reed filters. With more than 2,000 Sanitation Gardens installed all over France each year, Aquatiris is undoubtedly a benchmark in the field. Our Roseaux range stands out for its many advantages.
The strong points of Roseaux Sanitation Gardens
In general, Sanitation Gardens are devices that replace conventional domestic wastewater disposal systems such as septic tanks. They allow the natural disposal of wastewater from a home without causing any damage to the environment. Based on the use of plant species, the Sanitation Gardens are mainly intended for houses that are not connected to the mains drainage system, as well as for agricultural estates, grouped housing and tourist accommodation.
Unlike the Iris Sanitation Gardens, the planted reed filter is more compact in size (2 square metres per inhabitant equivalent). Like a traditional garden, it adds a decorative touch to your outdoor space and creates a more harmonious atmosphere. Unlike a septic tank, which requires regular emptying, the individual wastewater treatment systems in the Roseaux range require no additional action after installation. They are maintained like an ordinary garden and blend in perfectly with any type of landscape.
The cost of installing a planted reed filter is a very advantageous investment, as this type of device has a long service life. During this period, you have no expenses to pay for the disposal of wastewater from your home. The ecological sanitation system of the Roseaux range is also able to adapt to variations in load, i.e. holidays or prolonged absences, and has the advantage of being environmentally friendly.

How the Roseaux Sanitation Garden works
The Roseaux Sanitation Garden has a very simple operating principle. In fact, unlike the sanitation systems of the Iris range, it consists of a single filter that purifies wastewater. This is the reed filter. Taking the form of a small green space, this domestic wastewater purification system can be installed in the courtyard of a house, an existing garden, or a few metres from a dwelling. The planted reed filter is made up of gravel, sand and grit, but also and above all, of reeds. At Aquatiris, we specifically choose this plant species for its countless virtues, particularly in terms of sanitation. Indeed, they are able to adapt to any type of soil and to guarantee its decontamination, in particular thanks to the micro-organisms developed around their roots.
In concrete terms, the various substances used in your rooms pass through the pipes and are then collected by the planted reed filter. The bacteria and micro-organisms present around the roots of the reeds then digest the soluble materials. The non-soluble materials do not reach the roots of the plants. Instead, they are composted on the surface. In short, the principle of the reed filter is simple, since it acts as a sieve, in the sense that the water that emerges is purified. It therefore returns to the soil without posing a danger to it.
On the other hand, we take care to install the reed filter for horizontal flow in the open air so that the water treatment can take place in the presence of oxygen. This precaution is taken to guarantee you a total absence of odours.
Before installing the Roseaux range of purification systems, we also take a number of precautions. For example, we carry out a soil study to find out more about the configuration of the land, as well as the permeability and nature of the soil. The results obtained enable us to install customised filters for our customers. Certain criteria must also be considered before installing this device. These include the number of people living in the house, the type of toilet used, the desired landscape design, etc. Please do not hesitate to ask us for a quote to find out the cost of the planted reed filter and to find out how it is installed.
