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 />
