Two different types of reed-beds have been developed and used for the treatment of polluting waste water effluents over the last 30 years or so:
- Horizontal flow reed beds
- Vertical flow reed beds
Cress Water Solutions offer reed-bed surveys and designs throughout Europe.
We also do designs for rainwater harvesting projects and potable water supplies as well as SUD Systems and Water Management Projects whether for private domestic properties or commercial and industrial projects.
Cresswater design and construct reed-bed effluent systems for many commercial/industrial developments.
Such as:
- Hotels
- Breweries
- Service stations
We offer a maintenance service for those who, for one reason or another, would rather have someone else look after their reed-bed system.

Cress Water Solutions
Cress Water Solutions has specialised in the design, installation and maintenance of reed-beds, ponds and constructed wetlands for sewage and wastewater treatment for over 28 years.
We are solutions focussed, committed to solving the diverse problems of sewage and wastewater treatment, of surface water run-off and site water management. Appropriately designed, our systems produce near river quality water on an ecologically friendly sustainable basis.
Our highly effective bespoke systems have been used to treat a range of different polluting effluents from domestic sewage to dirty water run-off, leachate and industrial wastewaters for single houses, groups of houses, Hotels, Visitor Centres, etc. up to a large busy Motorway Services Area.
Reed-beds, also known as constructed wetlands, are a now well proven, sustainable, low energy, low maintenance solution for sewage and wastewater treatment. There are horizontal flow reed beds, vertical flow reed beds, sub-surface flow reed-beds, overland flow reed beds and reed beds with forced air ventilation (FBA). Each has a different purpose in the treatment processes. With these systems we can convert your wastewater, using natural ecological processes, into a non-polluting high quality effluent suitable for discharge into our rivers and streams without risk.
Our mission is to help people take responsibility for their waste using sustainable, natural, ecologically friendly systems, and to demonstrate that wastewater can be effectively cleaned and converted into a resource whilst protecting our natural water resources.
