Filter protects the environment by removing a wide range of pollutants from stormwater runoff. Periodic removal of these captured pollutants is essential to the proper functioning of the Up-Flo ® Filter. Maintenance activities can be categorized as those that may be performed from outside the Up-Flo ® vessel and those that are performed inside the vessel. Maintenance performed from outside the vessel includes removal of floatables and oils that have accumulated on the water surface and removal of sediment from the sump. - Page 6 Bag weighs approximately 50 lbs (23 kg) wet. • ® Measurement of oil layer on water surface: Since water in the Up-Flo vessel drains down to an elevation below the bottom of the Filter Modules when the system is idle, the amount of accumulated oil must be minimized so that oil is not entrained in the Media Pack when stormwater begins to fill the vessel at the start of a storm event.
