Estimating the term…
A combination filtration and anti-microbial catch basin filter disposed in a catch basin of a storm water system such that, in addition to removing particulate matter and other contaminants, the concentration of bacteria in storm water that remains resident in the sump of a catch basin after a storm event is severely reduced or eradicated. The catch basin filter comprises a filtration bag depending from the opening such that water must pass through the bag and a plurality of strips or similar members depending from the filtration bag, the length of the strips being such that they remain in contact with water resident in the bottom of the catch basin. In an alternative embodiment, the device comprises a floatation member with filtering means and anti-microbial strips depending therefrom.
The combination of a storm water catch basin and a pass-through filter for filtering storm water passing through said catch basin, said catch basin having a sump that retains storm water in between storm events, said filter comprising at least one anti-microbial carrier member disposed within said sump and carrying an anti-microbial agent that is positioned within said sump whereby bacteria in said retained storm water is destroyed, and wherein said at least one anti-microbial carrier member comprises a plurality of depending strip members.
A storm water catch basin filter that treats flowing storm water and non-flowing resident storm water, said catch basin filter comprising pass-through filtering material that filters flowing storm water, and anti-microbial carrier members comprising an anti-microbial agent that treats non-flowing resident storm water by destroying bacteria wherein said pass-through filtering material comprises a bag and wherein said anti-microbial carrier members comprise a plurality of strip members and are connected to said bag.
A storm water catch basin filtration and anti-microbial device adapted for use within a storm water catch basin, said catch basin comprising a sump that retains storm water, said device comprising:
The combination of a storm water catch basin and a pass-through filter for filtering storm water passing through said catch basin, said catch basin having a sump that retains storm water in between storm events, said filter comprising at least one anti-microbial carrier member disposed within said sump carrying an anti-microbial agent that is positioned within said sump whereby bacteria in said retained storm water is destroyed, and further comprising weights attached to said at least one anti-microbial carrier member.
A storm water catch basin filtration and anti-microbial device adapted for use within a storm water catch basin, said catch basin comprising a sump that retains storm water, said device comprising:
