In Brief:
AquaShield Inc. has improved the patented Aqua-Guardian Catch Basin Insert by increasing the treatment flow rates while maintaining TSS and debris removal efficiency. Filtration of fine sediment and associated pollutants transported during the first flush of the storm continues to be the initial level of treatment. Each Aqua-Guardian Insert includes a sediment collection/storage area within the HDPE structure. Traditionally, the filter media utilized in the Aqua-Guardian Insert is 100% reclaimed hydrophobic cellulose. Perlite and other natural filter materials are also available.
