Hydro-Brake® Drop is a compact, self-activating conveyance and flow control system that dissipates the energy of dropping water, enabling customers to convey water from great heights whilst preventing the damage and nuisance effects associated with falling water.

Using vortex technology to minimise erosion, corrosion, noise and odour, Hydro-Brake® Drop benefits from over 30 years of vortex flow control expertise.

Using the same vortex technology that enables the Hydro-Brake® Optimum to deliver precision flow control, Hydro-Brake® Drop's vortex technology dissipates the energy of dropping water, enabling customers to drop water from heights of up to 100m while preventing the damage and nuisance effects that conveying water from these heights would otherwise cause when using a conventional solution such as a drop manhole or equivalent structure.
