Ultra-Filter-Tex fabric is a state-of-the-art, high performance absorbent and filter fabric for stormwater management and oil spill cleanup. Filter-Tex material is hydrophilic and will allow water to pass through while oil is pulled out of it. Filter-Tex fabric has a variety of uses and applications, including for use in storm drains or trench trains for sediment and oil filtration.
The Ultra Drain Marker alerts and educates passersby to the presence of a storm drain, but also that it leads to open waterways. This is important, as educating the public on how they can reduce water pollution can reduce the volume of trash and debris over time. The Drain Marker is made from durable, heavy-duty plastic that will not rust or corrode over time. While other drain markers are made from metal or are simply spray paint on concrete, they are time consuming to install, and require maintenance for visibility. However, the Ultra Drain Marker is fast and easy to install, environmentally friendly, durable, and long-lasting. Best of all, it's very affordable.
A popular favorite, the Grate Lifter not only minimizes the amount of time it takes to install stormwater filtration products (such as a catch basin filter) or to service a stormwater catch basins, it also protects your crew's welfare. By making it faster to lift the drain grate and get the job done, it reduces the amount of time that your crew is exposed to dangerous traffic. Also, this lifting device is ergonomically designed, and will help prevent injury by reducing the physical strain of lifting the heavy grate. The steel construction of the grate lifter is designed to safely lift storm drain grates and can lift up to 400 pounds. It comes in a convenient two-piece carrying case.
Similar to the Grate Lifter, the Grate Hook is made to help you easily storm drain grates for storm drain guard installation. The Grate Hook is a simple, but effective tool. All you need to do is insert the hook portion of the tool underneath the grate, grasp the easy-to-hold handle, and lift. These are economical, making them a standard tool. Every storm drain service vehicle should be equipped with one.
