Product Specifications & Materials

How the Catch Basin Filter Works

The **NDS Catch Basin Filter** sits inside the basin beneath the grate. As water enters, the filter bag captures sediments, leaves, and pollutants. Its spunbonded geotextile fabric allows water to pass through while trapping particles. When the bag reaches capacity, excess water bypasses the filter through the integrated bypass feature, ensuring continuous drainage and preventing flooding.

Installation Steps

1. Remove the catch basin grate by unscrewing or lifting as per basin design.
2. Drop the pre-assembled filter bag into the basin, ensuring it seats evenly around the perimeter.
3. Replace and secure the grate over the filter bag.
4. After heavy debris accumulation, simply lift out the bag, empty contents, and reinsert.

People Also Ask (FAQs)

How often should I clean the catch basin filter?

Regular inspection after heavy rain is recommended. Clean or replace the filter bag when you notice reduced flow or when debris visibly accumulates—typically every 3–6 months depending on local conditions.

Can this filter handle leaves and large debris?

Yes, the NDS Catch Basin Filter’s high-capacity bag captures leaves, grass clippings, sediment, and trash up to 40 lbs. Larger twigs and branches may require periodic removal to prevent jamming.

Does the bypass feature cause unfiltered water to enter the drainage system?

The bypass feature only activates after the filter reaches full capacity, ensuring continuous drainage. Regular maintenance minimizes unfiltered water flow by keeping the filter clear.

Is the geotextile fabric environmentally safe?

Yes, the polypropylene geotextile is inert, resists common chemicals, and won’t leach harmful substances—making it safe for stormwater systems and surrounding ecosystems.

Maintenance Tips for Optimal Performance

• Visual Inspections: Check the filter after storms, during fall leaf drop, and spring cleanup.
• Debris Removal: Wear gloves, remove the bag, empty contents into yard waste or trash, and rinse if needed.

• Replacement: Replace the filter annually or as needed if fabric shows wear.
