Aqua-Filter™ Stormwater Filtration Systems The Aqua-Filter™ Stormwater Filtration System is designed for sites that require advanced treatment of runoff stormwater that may discharge into sensitive receiving waters. Each Aqua-Filter™ system I is custom engineered and utilizes a unique approach for pollutant removal. This patented configuration begins with the removal of gross pollutants by the Aqua-Swirl™ Stormwater Treatment System, followed by the removal of fine sediments and waterborne pollutants by the filtration chamber. The Aqua-Filter™ is not only unique because of its modular design, and HDPE construction, but also because of the ease of installation. The system can be designed for new construction projects or be retrofit for existing storm drainage structures. The Aqua-Filter™ system is engineered such that the filtration capacity complies with established "water quality treatment" requirements. This means that the system filters the initial movement of fine sediment pollutants that can be particularly harmful. Performance testing is a normal part of our quality assurance program. Third party testing has demonstrated Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removals of greater than 80% and the effective removal of additional pollutants including hydrocarbons (i.e. light and heavy oils and grease), phosphorus, and various heavy metals (i.e. copper, zinc). See the "Performance and Testing" Section for details.
