Structure's Innovative Design Maximizes Water Control
Findlay, Ohio - November 22, 2004: Hancor is pleased to introduce a new patent pending water control structure that's ideal for lowering and raising water in wetland conservation applications and pond equalization. This watertight structure is easy to operate, install and maintain.
Officially licensed by Ducks Unlimited, the Water Control Structure offers many environmental benefits. It offers timely, precise water control to improve water quality by reducing contaminants, provides flood control, assists with erosion control, ground water recharge, and provides a habitat and food source for wildlife. It retains exact targeted water amounts because water levels are adjustable in 1" increments.
"Hancor is committed to providing innovative solutions that help to improve and conserve our precious ecosystems," says Skip Short, EPA Phase II Manager at Hancor. "This is one more product that meets Hancor's strong environmental stewardship vision to be the industry's leading environmental solutions provider."
The Water Control Structure's innovative design allows for easier operation compared to other structures. It can be installed quickly and easily because all internal components are installed prior to delivery and it has self-leveling capability. The lightweight HDPE body and stainless steel components provide for the desired long service life. Plus its design allows a variety of pipe materials to be used with the structure. Another unique feature is a locking lid that prevents unauthorized personnel from readjusting water levels.
This product has many applications - on farm ponds, wetland areas, golf courses, commercial and residential developments, livestock waste stops or for irrigation ditches. And it is backed by Hancor's full five-year limited warranty.
Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest wetland and waterfowl conservation organization. Hancor is Ducks Unlimited's official supplier of wetland structures and pipe systems for water management and conservation projects, and a percentage of Water Control Structure sales will go back to Ducks Unlimited to assist in their conservation efforts.
