Hydro BioinfiltratorTM Don’t Get Boxed in by Your BMP Product Profile The Hydro Bioinfiltrator is a sophisticated departure from other “tree-in-a-box” bio filters because it’s not actually in a box. An open base is not only better for vegetation, it also allows you to keep more runoff on site while using less building material so it’s lightweight and easy to install. This attractive and modular option combines the beauty of smart engineering with common sense and practicality. Bioinfiltator works with a variety of trees, shrubs and hedges • First tree box filter with lightweight, modular components. (Patent pending - # 15/379223) • An open base won’t restrict root growth so vegetation thrives quicker and lives longer • Modular design allows you to treat a range of drainage areas • Runoff is kept on site which reduces quantity of stormwater that is discharged • Lightweight components can ship flat and be installed with only landscape equipment - no crane needed • Optional internal bypass for conveyance of high flows Reduce runoff with an open-base that enables infiltration • LID or green infrastructure based developments • LEED® development projects • Removal of total suspended solids (TSS), floatable trash, metals and nutrients from stormwater runoff • Pollutant hot spots such as maintenance yards, parking lots, gas stations, streets, highways, airports and transportation hubs Product Components Surface pavers Flow spreading baffle wall Outer treatment chamber Inner treatment chamber Treatment table legs Concrete footings Root system Engineered media Stor

1. As water flows into the storm drain, it will quickly come in contact with the flow spreading baffle wall. 2. Water will then be forced left, right and all the way around the outer pretreatment chamber (see Fig.1). This process causes the flow to slow, preventing media from being blasted into piles and avoiding an uneven treatment area. 3. Trash and coarse debris are captured and stored in the outer chamber while remaining flow enters through the baffle wall. 4. Eventually the flow seeps through the baffle wall into the interior treatment chamber. From here, finer particles and pollutants...
