Today was a day I had been waiting for, a chance to show introduce some logic into the way we look at and present ourselves.
We had a nice rain today. This is near the end of the deluge. All the really bad stuff had already washed away so I decided to throw a polypropylene debris filter down. This is what we use for basic debris filtration when using only hot water on sidewalks as specified in our city's BMP's.
My calculation on the flow is approximately 1800 gallons per minute based on 2ft per second movement with a minimum width of 1 ft and an average depth of 3 inches. (Feel free to correct if I'm wrong)
In perspective. That means in the seven minutes I left this filter in the water, as much water passed as a 6gpm skid could clean in a whole week. Notice the water is completely free of debris after the filter.
More to come
