System Summary
StormCap™ Detain 3° is designed to manage stormwater on the roof by providing retention and detention, making it a full-fledged stormwater tool ready to face second day and extra-large storms. StormCap™ Detain 3° reduces or eliminates tne need for cisterns and bioretention facilities and frees up valuable space for income-generating development. It is also designed to work on sloped roofs (adapted from the manufacturer's literature).
