Stormwater compliance is non-negotiable across construction, mining, utilities, marine, agriculture and logistics. Resellers who supplied the Drain Warden now have a more advanced product to take to market – the Ultra-Drain Guard Oil & Sediment Model.
Drain Guard vs Drain Warden
- Superior filtration performance: The Drain Warden used a 260GSM non-woven geotextile with a 90-micron pore size. The Ultra-Drain Guard features advanced filter media that removes both sediment and hydrocarbons, providing greater protection.
- Integrated oil absorption: The Drain Warden relied on a separate hydrophobic boom suspended under the grate. The Ultra-Drain Guard integrates oil absorption throughout the fabric, ensuring consistent capture of hydrocarbons across the entire unit.
- Improved handling: Drain Wardens used overflow pockets to cope with large rain events, which added weight and complexity. The Ultra-Drain Guard sits neatly under the grate, installs quickly, and is easier to remove for cleaning or replacement.
- Broader compliance fit: Designed for high-risk spill environments, the Ultra-Drain Guard suits construction, mining, utilities, defence, agriculture and marine – industries where both sediment and hydrocarbon runoff are compliance challenges.
