The Ultra-Drain Guard Recyclable Model is made from Ultra-Filter-Tex. A hydrophilic material that effectively filters hydrocarbons such as oil and gas from water flow. The recycled insert made from this material is an ideal product made to comply with AS1940:2017 and organisational sustainability plans, because it is made from 100% recycled material and does not compromise quality nor the water filtering efficiency.

From a dimensional standpoint, the recycled model is the same as the oil & sediment model, but instead of the geotextile material used for other models, we make the recycled model completely from Ultra-Filter-Tex.
Ultra-Filter-Tex removes oil and other hydrocarbons much faster than traditional absorbents. A polypropylene sorbent material will not allow water to freely pass through it. Oil will absorb at the surface of a polypropylene absorbent, and the polypropylene will eventually blind over and the centre will not absorb any oil.
Consider using our other Ultra-Drain Guards for comparable results. The oil & sediment plus model contains Ultra-Filter-Tex material strips to increase hydrocarbon absorption.
Yes. While we do have some stormwater products that do not require the grate to be lifted, the Ultra-Drain Guard, Recycled Model does require that you first lift the grate.
If the unit was solely used to eliminate dirt, sand, and sediment from incoming stormwater flow, you can dispose of it like regular trash/waste. However, if the Ultra-Filter-Tex material has absorbed oil/grease or any other hydrocarbons, you must dispose of it following the local regulations and requirements.
The Ultra-Drain Guard, Recycled Model is designed to be installed in drains up to 762mm x 1016mm.
You could achieve similar results by using one of our other Ultra-Drain Guards. If there is any kind of requirement for some recycled content, the oil & sediment plus model uses strips of Ultra-Filter-Tex material for added hydrocarbon absorption.
