Installation - Aqua-Guardian™ Catch Basin Insert
Installation is a simple process of removing the surface grate cover and lowering the Aqua-Guardian™ into the catch basin. Since the device is constructed of lightweight and durable High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), it is possible that a unit can be installed without the need for special lifting equipment. First, the storm grate cover needs to be removed, which could necessitate the use of lifting equipment depending on the weight and size of the cover. The support collar on the Aqua-Guardian™ is custom fitted to the inside frame of the surface grate. The flange on the support collar rests on the same rim that receives the surface grate cover. Once the insert is properly seated on the metal rim, replace the grate cover.
The Aqua-Guardian™ can be used in most standard catch basins or storm drains, regardless of age or location. Custom fabrication of the support collar allows the device to fit nearly every size or shape of an existing catch basin. Dimensions of surface drain openings need to be accurately recorded on the Aqua-Guardian™ site worksheet to ensure proper installation. |
