Curb Inlet Filter

The curb inlet filter uses a propriety design to provide curb inlet protection in city stormwater drains. It is constructed from a tough monofilament geotextile fabric. The filtering material allows water to escape while keeping debris trapped. Metal support rods and gussets take advantage of the drain structure to keep the storm drain guard in place. Foam support wedges are placed evenly through the filter to keep it wide open for maximum efficiency. Overflow ports on the top of the filter ensure that water can continue to flow even if the debris containment area is full.

The Taurus storm drain inlet filter is easily installed by only one person. The emptying process follows the same process.

1. Connect the support rods and couplers. Slide the rods into the slots on the top and bottom of the filter.

2. Lay out the curb inlet filter with the overflow windows on top and ensure the supporting rods are even on both ends.

3. Fit the filter into the curb inlet opening by carefully pushing the foam support wedges. The support rods should catch on the ends of the inlet.

4. Push the filter material into the inlet to prevent it from bunching up near the opening.

5. Check the overflow ports at the top of the filter and ensure the material is lying smoothly.

6. Periodically check the storm drain inlet filter for debris. Remove and empty when full. Re-install as described above.
