Water Baffles
Floating Baffles Curtain
Water baffles are floating barrier systems designed to manage the movement of water in stormwater and wastewater treatment settings. By slowing flow and directing it through designated paths, baffle systems help increase water retention time inside a pond, basin, or lagoon. This extended retention allows solids to settle and treatment processes to perform more effectively, improving overall water quality. Often used in retention ponds and treatment lagoons, floating baffles enhance sediment control and support environmental compliance goals. These systems can be configured to fit custom dimensions and treatment plans, helping facilities meet specific flow management requirements.
Floating Water Baffles Features
- Tension Cable
- PVC, Elvaloy, Urethane Fabric
- Flotation Device
Floating Water Baffles Benefits
- Improve BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand)
- Lower TSS (Total Suspended Solids)
- Lower Thermal Control Exchange
Water Lagoon Baffles Details
Floating water baffles improve flow control in lagoons, retention basins, and wastewater treatment systems. Made with impermeable PVC fabric, each baffle is designed to guide water through a longer path, maximizing the use of available treatment space. This redirection increases retention time and gives suspended solids a better chance to settle before discharge.
By optimizing flow patterns, these baffles can help reduce total suspended solids (TSS) and biological oxygen demand (BOD) in the system. They are engineered to perform in lagoon basin environments, with skirt depth and profile customized to your site's water depth and bottom contours.

Water Baffles Applications
Floating baffle systems are used in a wide range of water treatment and flow management settings. They are ideal for projects that require improved sediment control, longer retention times, or flow redirection in large water bodies.
- Stormwater retention ponds
- Wastewater treatment lagoons
- Industrial water treatment systems
- Municipal and regional treatment facilities
- Agricultural runoff containment
- Sediment settling basins
- Flow diversion in lined or earthen lagoons
- Leachate management at landfill sites
Water Baffles Frequently Asked Questions
Water lagoon baffles are secured to the anchor points through a stainless steel cable. This cable must be long enough for the water baffles to adjust to rising and falling water levels. These anchor points are stainless steel cable loops passed through a link in the ballast chain. Shore anchor posts will be important for anchoring wastewater baffle. Shore anchor posts should be installed no more than three feet away from the edge of the reservoir. These posts will provide strength for anchor points. For more information on anchoring your baffles water treatment system, call us.
Regular inspections of your baffles water treatment system are highly recommended. Additionally, regular maintenance should be given to your water baffles by a qualified and approved individual.
