Abstract
A catch basin filtration system is disclosed. A filter body is dimensioned to fit within a drain inlet forming a trough or reservoir obstructing at least a portion of the inlet. The filter body is supported by a filter body support dimensioned to cooperatively engage with the interior walls of the inlet and with the filter body to substantially maintain said filter body in a pre-selected shape and position within the inlet. One or more connectors removably connect the filter body to the filter body support. One or more adjustable high fluid flow bypasses prevent the system from backing up and flooding surrounding areas during periods of high fluid flow.
Claims15
An apparatus, comprising:
- (a) a filter body dimensioned to fit within an inlet and forming a reservoir obstructing at least a portion of said inlet;
- (b) a filter body support dimensioned and adapted to cooperatively engage with said inlet and with said filter body to substantially maintain said filter body in a pre-selected position within said inlet, said filter body support comprising at least one rigid wall and at least one bottom opening;
- (c) an initial high flow bypass situated within said filter body support and capable of passing excess fluid during periods of high volume fluid flow;
- and
- (d) a secondary high flow bypass situated within said filter body support and capable of passing excess fluid during periods of high volume fluid flow, said secondary high flow bypass being separate and distinct from said initial high flow bypass.
