The modular design of the Hynds Up-Flo Filter has proven superior to traditional cartridge-based filter systems.

Treatment
During a rain event, stormwater enters the chamber via an inlet pipe or overhead grate. Gross debris and sediment settle out in the sump. As water fills the chamber, flow is directed up through the angled screen into the filter module. Flow is evenly distributed across the media for maximum treatment. Treated flow exits the filter module via a conveyance channel to an outlet module.

Siphonic Bypass
Flows in excess of the designed filtration capacity are discharged directly to the outlet using a Siphonic Bypass. The Siphonic Bypass also acts as a floatable baffle preventing the escape of buoyant debris.

Drain Down
In traditional stormwater filters, treatment media can be continuously submerged in water, becoming anoxic, promoting bacterial growth, the degradation of filter media and the release of harmful leachates.
The Up-Flo Filter has a patented Drain Down system to ensure that the filter media is not submerged between storm events.
As a storm subsides filtered water drains out of the chamber and filter media through the filtered Drain Down port at the base of the module. The reverse flows also cause debris to fall away from the angled screens and become captured in the sump.
