Dandy Sack
The Dandy Sack is designed to hang underneath a storm grate to expertly filter the thickest sediment-laden storm water. The suspended solids are allowed to settle out of the slowed flow and are conveniently captured by the Dandy Sack prior to entering the inlet, making the sturdy Dandy Sack a storm water must.
Installation:
- Remove the grate from the catch basin
- If using optional oil absorbents, place absorbent pillow in pouch, on bottom of unit
- Stand the grate on end. Move the top lifting straps out of the way and place the grate into the Dandy Sack so that the grate is below the top straps and above the lower straps
- Holding the lifting straps, insert the grate into the inlet
Maintenance:
- Remove all accumulated sediment and debris from vicinity of the unit after each storm event
- After storm event and at regular intervals, look into the Dandy Sack. If the containment area is more than 1/3 full of sediment, the unit must be emptied
- To empty unit, simply lift the unit out of the inlet using the lifting straps and remove the grate
- If using optional oil absorbents, replace absorbent pillow when near saturation
