Dewatering Bags

Neil B. said: Thank you for your note and follow up. The installation went very well and not only repaired the shore line, but also seems to be averting further erosion as we hoped. I am very happy with the result and just shared my experience last month with all who attended our Water Association annual meeting. You may be hearing from some of my neighbors. Thanks again!

I have been very pleased with the customer service from One Clarion. I received a power washer that was severely damaged during shipment. I called to let Arian in your Customer Service Dept. know. She was very quick to contact the carrier, who in turn picked up the damaged item the same day. Within a week’s time, I received my replacement power washer! I am very pleased to say, the customer service from One Clarion, far exceeded my expectations! Thank you!

Sincerely,
Mel B.

Another satisfied customer! A corrugated water tank installed for use in storing water for emergency use (drought, wildfires, etc.) in Texas.

Dewatering Filter Bags for Sediment & Oil Filtration

Dewatering bags (also called dewatering filter bags or sediment filter bags) are an effective, economical solution for filtering sediment, oil, and debris from pumped water. Use dewatering bags to manage site discharge, control stormwater runoff, and meet EPA and local stormwater regulations on construction and industrial sites. Constructed from high-strength geotextile fabric, dewatering bags trap silt, sludge, and pollutants while allowing clean water to flow out. Available in large, small, and custom sizes to fit your project needs, with fast shipping and expert support.

Filter sediment bags, oil and sediment dewatering bags, and reusable dewatering sediment bags are all practical dewatering products for achieving the dewatering process on work sites. Simply select the style needed and the size. Our experts are happy to help answer any questions you have.

Dewatering bag types & product selection

Our dewatering bag product selection includes sediment dewatering bags, sediment & oil dewatering filter bags, and reusable dewatering bags so you can match each dewatering filter bag to specific job site dewatering conditions and discharge requirements.

Sediment dewatering bags – standard nonwoven geotextile dewatering filter bags for removing sand, silt, and fine solids from pumped water on construction and industrial sites.
Oil/sediment geo dewatering bags – geotextile dewatering bags designed to capture hydrocarbons and oils along with sediment, ideal for fueling areas, equipment yards, and industrial stormwater.
Reusable dewatering bags – heavy-duty reusable dewatering filter bags that can be emptied, cleaned, and redeployed to multiple locations for economical long-term use.
Custom geotextile dewatering bags – custom-sized sediment and oil dewatering filter bags built from geotextile to fit specific pump discharge rates, containment areas, or site layouts. Contact us for custom dewatering bag sizing.

All dewatering bags use durable geotextile fabric to trap sediment, sludge, and debris while allowing filtered water to discharge, helping your site meet stormwater and job site dewatering requirements.

Reusable dewatering filter bags

Reusable dewatering bags offer a cost-effective solution for multi-site or recurring dewatering projects. Built from rugged geotextile fabrics, these reusable dewatering filter bags are engineered to withstand repeated filling and emptying cycles while maintaining filtration performance.

After dewatering, sediment and sludge can be removed, and the bag can be repositioned or stored for the next job. This makes reusable dewatering bags a smart choice for contractors, municipalities, and industrial facilities looking to minimize waste and maximize budget.

Made for a range of locations and applications
Economical option for multi-phase or long-term projects
Can be used repeatedly with proper handling
Easily moved from one location to another as site needs change

How Dewatering Bags Work (Video)

This short video demonstrates how a geotextile dewatering bag connects to a pump discharge hose, fills with sediment-laden water, and releases cleaner water through the fabric. Share it with crews as a quick overview of setup, flow direction, and safe use in the field.

Dewatering bag applications

Dewatering bags are used across a wide range of sites and industries to filter sediment-laden water and ensure compliance with stormwater discharge regulations:

Construction sites
Pipeline projects
Dredging operations
Industrial sites
Wastewater treatment plants
Stormwater management

Geotextile dewatering bags can filter silt, sediment, sludge, hydrocarbons, and debris. Select the appropriate style and size for your pump flow rate, sediment load, and site conditions.

Use standard dewatering bags for filtering sediment filled water and sludge that is pumped from construction sites.
Use oil and sediment dewatering bags to filter discharged water that could also contain hydrocarbons and oils.
Use reusable dewatering filter bags at multiple locations as an economical way to capture more sediment and sludge during dewatering projects.
