Drain Guards

Why Do You Need a Drain Guard in Your Facility?

1. Prevent Clogs: Drain guards help prevent clogs in your drainage system by filtering out debris and sediment. This ensures smooth water flow and reduces the risk of flooding.
2. Environmental Protection: By blocking pollutants from entering storm drains, drain guards help protect local waterways and ecosystems from contamination.
3. Compliance with Regulations: Using drain guards can help your facility comply with environmental regulations and avoid fines or penalties.
4. Maintenance Reduction: They reduce the frequency and cost of maintenance by keeping the drainage system clean and functional 

Australian Standards and Regulations

In Australia, failing to use appropriate drain protection measures, such as drain guards, can lead to breaches of several standards and regulations, including:

1. AS/NZS 3500 Series: This series of standards covers plumbing and drainage systems, ensuring they are designed and installed to prevent contamination and environmental harm 
2. Environmental Protection Regulations: Various state and federal regulations require facilities to implement measures to prevent pollutants from entering stormwater systems. Non-compliance can result in significant fines and legal action.
