Leopold Type S Technology Underdrain Flyer
Source: Leopold -- A Xylem Brand

Upward airflow through competitor underdrains creates low pressure zones causing some orifices to become air deprived, or reverse flow. The S/SL design tackles this issue through a patented built-in water recovery channel; this ensures uniform and continuous airflow across all the top-deck orifices allowing water to re-enter and equalize the low-pressure areas. The dual lateral design provides superior results and improved performance.
Type S/SL underdrain results:
- Broader airflow range, 2 to 5 scfm/sf | 36 to 91 m/hr
- Improved air stability under all operating conditions with all orifices providing uniform and continuous airflow
- Lower water maldistribution — less than 5% (total)
