The HYDRA® HFTC Drop-in Filter Basket Insert is a high-performance, stainless steel filtration system engineered to intercept trash and debris at the storm drain inlet, preventing the discharge of pollutants into downstream waterways. Fabricated from 304 stainless steel and featuring 4.8 mm perforations, the insert is fully compliant with California full trash capture regulations, effectively capturing leaves, floatables, and solid waste while maintaining unobstructed stormwater flow for optimal drainage performance.

This insert’s adjustable, repositionable design allows for side-to-side movement within the catch basin without the need for removal, facilitating rapid access for inspection and treatment. This feature is especially beneficial for Vector Control personnel, enabling them to quickly identify standing water and apply larvicides or other treatments with precision—enhancing the system’s role in mosquito abatement and disease prevention.

The HYDRA HFTC Drop-in Filter Basket Insert delivers dual functionality by improving both trash capture efficiency and public health protection, reducing the risks of flooding, pollution, and the spread of waterborne illnesses. Its durable construction and user-friendly design make it an ideal solution for municipalities seeking long-term, sustainable stormwater management.
