How many filters will fit in an Ultra-HydroKleen?
The HydroKleen is designed to fit up to three filters.
If I order different types of filters, how do I know what order they should be arranged?
The order will depend on the concentration of the pollutants in the water and may require some experimentation to get the best results. Typically, if an activated carbon filter is used, it will be the last filter media before the water exits the HydroKleen as it is a "polishing" media.
Is there a way to take a post-treatment sample with the HydroKleen?
Yes, a sampling option is available that will allow "post-treatment" samples to be taken. The sampling option is part number 9876 and MUST be ordered with the HydroKleen (it cannot be installed as a retrofit).
What are the dimensions of the body of the Ultra-HydroKleen (the green shell)?
The body of the HydroKleen is 15" x 19" and 19" deep.
How often should I change the filters?
This will depend on the location of the unit and will vary for each HydroKleen. We recommend an inspection after the first rainfall to get an idea of what the pollutant load is for that particular drain. Periodic inspections and water testing will help determine the efficiency of each filter and when replacements are necessary.
What's the easiest way to remove captured sediment from the Ultra-HydroKleen?
Sediment, silt, sand, and dirt can be scooped out of the HydroKleen's chamber or, for complete removal, the entire HydroKleen can be removed from the catch basin and hosed out.
What is the ordering process like for the Ultra-HydroKleen?
Initially, the process is just like any other product, it is ordered through one of our distributors. But once we receive that order we will coordinate with your distributor to get more information on the catch basin that the HydroKleen will be installed in. We will need to get the Measurement Instructions and Filter Media Selection forms completed and returned to us. Because of the customization of this product, there is a lead time involved. Once all the information is provided we will be able to provide you with an estimated lead time.
