Maintenance
The Up-Flo™ Filter protects the environment by removing
a wide range of pollutants from stormwater runoff. Periodic
removal of these captured pollutants is essential to the
proper functioning of the Up-Flo™ Filter.
The Up-Flo™ Filter design allows for easy and safe
inspection, monitoring and clean-out procedures. The Up-Flo™
Filter has a wide central clearance for easy and comfortable
access to the Up-Flo™ Filter components.
Maintenance events can be categorized as Routine or Annual.
Routine maintenance can include inspection, floatables
removal and/or sediment removal. Routine maintenance events
do not require entry into the Up-Flo™ chamber. In
the case of inspection and floatables removal, a vactor
truck is not required. However, a vactor truck is required
if the maintenance event is to include sediment removal
from the sump of the Up-Flo™ vessel.
Annual maintenance includes Media Pack replacement in addition
to sediment and floatables removal. In most instances, entry
into the Up-Flo™ vessel is required for Media Pack
replacement. There is the need to follow proper Confined Space
Entry procedures when performing annual maintenance.
