Liquasweep All-Purpose Sponge Absorbent – 22L

The DamSock is a sustainable silt sock alternative that filters contaminated stormwater runoff, trapping sediment and removing hydrocarbons. The DamSock works by forming a barrier against contaminated stormwater. This damming effect allows cleaned water to seep through, free of sediment and hydrocarbons.

 As pressure builds behind the DamSock, the more effective it becomes. The DamSock is ideal for trapping sediment in high wind areas, including airports and coastal areas. It is flexible, contours to uneven surfaces and can be used to create a containment dam around spills. Optional joiner kits enable a custom length DamSock to suit your requirements.

The Stratex Recycled Spill Mat sleeve is a durable and eco-friendly way to manage leaks and drips from equipment and machinery. The reusable sleeve is made from recycled PVC banner mesh, diverting waste from landfill to support a circular economy. It is designed for compatibility with Stratex absorbent pads and includes one 1000 x 800mm oil and fuel pad as standard. General purpose and chemical refill pads are also available.

The mat is foot-trafficable and suitable for use on sealed and unsealed surfaces to suit a range of demanding environments. Unlike standalone absorbent pads, it is less likely to be blown away by the wind and, when combined with an oil and fuel pad, remains unaffected by rainby rain if used outdoors. It features eyelets for securing and added stability and an easy to open design for quick pad replacement.

The Recycled Spill Mat sleeve is made by social enterprise Assembled Threads. This partnership not only ensures high quality products but also provides meaningful employment opportunities for individuals from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse backgrounds.

The GuardDog drain filter offers a revolutionary approach to sediment control. It fits to cover most stormwater drains to effectively prevent silt, sediment, hydrocarbons and debris from entering our waterways and ocean.

• Traps sediment and hydrocarbons
• Improves water receiving quality
• 100% recycled absorbent media
• 53 micron filtration (0.053mm)
• Absorbs up to 12 litres of hydrocarbons
• Lightweight, low profile and durable
• Side-entry GuardDog features aluminium side strips for a perfect fit around kerbs

Filtration Innovation

The GuardDog works by using an innovative absorbent media called Spilltration® Husky, which is made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste. The material’s fibres absorb hydrocarbons and trap sediment particles as small as 53 microns (0.053mm), finer than a human hair. Spilltration® Husky also delivers exceptional water flow characteristics due to its unique construction, which allows water to wick through, even when saturated with oil.

Performance by Design

The GuardDog features a heavy-duty polyethylene mesh top for drive over durability. The Spilltration® Husky absorbent media removes and traps oils, fuels, sheens and sediment. A raised centre helps to create a damming effect and improve performance in high flow situations. Overflow port prevents water from backing up in heavy rain events. Eyelets provide a means to secure the GuardDog to metal grates with metal ties or concrete bolts.

Suitable for Most Drain Types

The standard GuardDog drain filter is designed to cover most box and v-grate drains. The side-entry GuardDog is wider and features aluminium strips to contour around most kerb inlet drains with or without grates. Custom sizing is also available by request.

When to use one?

The GuardDog is ideal for protecting drains during construction activity. It can also be used in carparks, manufacturing facilities, waste management, rail yards, refineries. The GuardDog helps to improve environmental compliance and avoid penalty notices.

Installation Versatility

The GuardDog can be installed in a variety of ways. It can be screwed directly into the concrete, secured to drain grates via metal cable ties or using high-powered magnets. See our installation guide to find out more.

Superior to Alternatives

Alternatives such as silt socks and coir logs do not trap hydrocarbons, and drain pollution guards can become overloaded to block drains and cause flooding. Unlike silt socks the GuardDog will not split if driven over – it’s a low profile solution that’s foot and vehicle traffic friendly.

ISC Verified Innovation

The GuardDog drain filter was verified by the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) as Australia-first innnovation for its use on the Monash Freeway upgrade. It is listed on iSupply and may assist in obtaining IS Credits for Receiving Water Quality (ISv1.2 Dis-1 / ISv2.1 Env-1), Diversion from Landfill (ISv1.2 Was-2), Innovation Challenge 8 (ISv1.2 & ISv2.1 Inn-1).
