TESTING<br />

The SedCatch Sediment Basket has been subjected to full-scale testing by TRI/Environmental, Inc.<br />

On the 1.5 percent sediment load test, all of the water was filtered, and it collected an excess of 80 percent of the<br />

sediment load introduced.<br />

On the 6 percent sediment load test, 100 percent of the water was initially filtered. Over time, the accumulated<br />

sediment reduced the filtering capacity of the device, such that, some of the water passed through the overflow. In<br />

practice, as flows taper off, 100 percent of the water would be filtered. The Sediment Basket collected nearly 64<br />

percent of the introduced sediment for the entire rain event, as opposed to similar <strong>products</strong> on the market.<br />

A Sediment Basket has more than three times the geotextile filter area and more than three times the overflow area<br />

of the impractical grate cover and tube method. The two-basket design collects sediment like a coffee filter — there<br />

is no need to remove the main basket. This method makes sediment removal much easier and reduces wear and<br />

tear, which is one of the many reasons sediment baskets have such a long lifespan.<br />

Complete test results are available on our website, www.nfco.com/<strong>sedcatch</strong>.<br />

Advantages to Using a SedCatch Sediment Basket<br />

• SedCatch baskets are made to fit specific grates, making installation foolproof.<br />

• Removal of sediment takes minutes and only requires one person, because of the proprietary design of the<br />

Dump Basket.<br />

• The geotextile fabric and durable design ensures product longevity; during testing it held 153.4 pounds.<br />

• SedCatch baskets are independently tested, unlike many on the market, to guarantee the effectiveness of<br />

sediment removal.<br />
