3.3
Catchment areas
Maintenance begins at the start of the rain cycle. A very dirty catchment area may produce an increased
amount of debris for the system with high filter effort afterwards. To extend the service life of the filters, we
would therefore recommend maintaining the collection surfaces to remove large pieces of dirt (leaves, grit
etc.).
3.4
Maintenance of filters
All kinds of filter units, see chapter 3, require maintenance to ensure the infiltration/attenuation system
operates perfectly. Perfect operation is essential to avoid damage to the infiltration/attenuation system
and maintaining performance.
The pollutant levels depend on seasonal factors. During these periods, we would therefore recommend
checking the filter units for overflows or full sludge and dirt buckets. Increased dirt levels will arise in the
event of
-
snow melt
-
build-up of grit
-
high pollen levels
-
heavy rainfall during storms
-
autumn leaf drop
The details provided by the manufacturer on maintaining and servicing the filter units used must also be
followed.
