Storm drain Inserts to help our communities

Contaminants flowing into the storm drain are very hazardous to the ecosystem and should be avoided and prevented as much as possible. One way to greatly reduce the amount of harmful materials that are flowing to the storm drains is to filter it and or block it completely with some of the technologies that US Hydrotech Provides. One technology that works very well with storm drain filtering applications that are not as permanent as others are the Ertec products. These are portable and reusable filtered storm drain covers that allow water to pass but catch most of the dirt and can filter down to 300 micron.

Another option is the Triton Storm Drain insert. This is a more permanent structure that is installed under the storm drain grate. It is essentially a heavy duty catch basin with a filter in the middle that allows water to flow into the basin and as it fills up, it filters the water through the filter media and then proceeds to the sewer. If the drain needs to be completely sealed off, then the Triton also comes with a cap that can easily be put into place to take the place of the filter media.

These are just a few ways to help mother nature keep her beauty for years to come and US Hydrotech can and will continue to help make that happen.

Willard's Water study

One company that we are partnering with is Willard's Water. They have just completed a study titled:

New Clinical Study Shows Drinking Willard Water® Significantly Increases the Body’s Ability to Absorb Vitamins

you can see the study at http://drwillard.com/blog/

This is a very interesting study and we are glad to support a group such as this who's goals are in line with ours in improving the lives of others.

Zebra Mussels: An invasive species

There is a very invasive pest contaminating our oceans, lakes and rivers. It attaches itself to boats and then uses that as a host to infest other waters. Of course, we are talking about Zebra Mussels. This invasive mussel is a major problem because it chokes the life of other species in the water and can build up clogs in pipes and drains to restrict flow and cause even more problems. One way to help stop the spread of Zebra Mussels is to decontaminate any vessel that enters or leaves the water by spraying it down with a high pressure, high temperature (around 160 degrees) pressure washer and capturing all the wash water on a containment pad so it can be pumped to a secure holding tank and disposed of properly. US Hydrotech provides heavy duty pressure washers that are more than sufficient to meet the required temperature and pressure needed to remove these pests. We also provide the Porta-Mat. A portable wash pad system that is designed for just these purposes of keeping wash water contained and pumping it to a safe disposal area. Join US Hydrotech in the fight to take back our water from this invasive pest, because they do more bad than good!
