Abstract
A catch basin filtration system having a filter body dimension 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.
Claims4
An apparatus, comprising:
- (a) a filtration device comprising a permeable reservoir comprising a porous material with an open top, said filtration device dimensioned to fit within an inlet and obstructing at least a portion of said inlet;
- (b) a filtration device support dimensioned and adapted to cooperatively engage with said inlet and with said filtration device to substantially maintain said filtration device in a pre-selected position within said inlet;
- and
- (c) an adjustable deflector ring connected to said filtration device support, said adjustable deflector ring containing at least one flow control wall along at least one outer edge, whereby dimensions of said adjustable deflector ring may be easily adjusted to fit within a particular catch basin and said adjustable deflector ring is adjusted via the permanent removal of material.
