Suitable for various environmental applications, it features multiple filter media options to target specific contaminants such as hydrocarbons, heavy metals, phosphorus, and more. Durable and reusable, the Ultra-Filter Sock provides an effective and sustainable way to manage stormwater runoff and protect surrounding ecosystems.

Features & Benefits

Superior Filtration Performance: Fitted with specialised filter media to target and remove sediment, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, phosphorus, and more.
Durable Woven Polymer Casing: Allows high water flow while capturing harmful contaminants. Built tough to handle harsh weather conditions with a high UV rating for long-term outdoor use.
Modular & Scalable Design: Each unit measures 2.7 metres and can be overlapped for broader coverage. Looped ends make it easy to secure in place and transport.
Customisable Media Options: Choose from a variety of filter media tailored to specific pollutants. Multiple socks can be combined in a “treatment train” for effective multi-contaminant filtration.
Eco-Friendly & Reusable: Made with recycled materials where possible, providing a more sustainable approach to stormwater management.

FAQs

Why would I use the Ultra-Filter Sock instead of one of your other stormwater management products?

The Ultra-Filter Sock has several distinct advantages that could prove to be a deciding factor in choosing it to protect your drain from incoming pollutants. (1) Ease of use and installation – with the Ultra-Filter Sock, you simply lay it down in front of a drain or inlet. No hardware to install, no heavy grates to lift. (2) Versatility – the Ultra-Silt Sock has multiple filtering media options available which enables it to remove pollutants that a lot of other stormwater products cannot remove. (3) Multiple media options – not only are there several media options available but you can use them together in a “treatment train” so you can filter out many different pollutants.

Why WOULDN’T I use the Ultra-Filter Sock instead of one of your other stormwater management products?

If a “clean” installation is a significant concern or the Ultra-Filter Sock could pose a tripping threat to pedestrian traffic or an obstruction for street sweepers or other equipment, it may not be the ideal solution.

I have a 3m long kerb inlet. How do I protect it?

Since the Ultra-Filter Socks are only available in one length (2.7m), you can simply use multiple units when more than nine feet is required. It is recommended that you overlap units to ensure complete coverage/protection.

There was some powder in the box that my Filter Sock was shipped in. What’s that all about?

Due to the nature of the filter media, some fine dust and powder can be released from the sock during transport (this is especially true of socks with HMRM). We recommend rinsing the Ultra-Filter Socks with a hose on grass or a vegetated area prior to use. This will allow most of the fines to be removed and captured away from any catch basin.
