INFLOW DURING RAINSTORMS
Inflow during rainstorms adds significant cost to wastewater processing. It also may create SSOs (sanitary sewer overflows), leading to possible fines or flooding of homes.
SEWER GASES
Sewer systems need to “breathe,” both in and out. When not enough oxygen reaches the sewer, hydrogen sulfide forms. That’s the gas that smells like rotten eggs. Customers complain.
The Sewer Sentry device stops storm water from going through hole in the manhole cover simply by creating a new point of entry ―a “raised hole”―that is 5/8” higher than the surface of the manhole. At the same time, it reduces sewer gas problems, by allowing enough oxygen to reach the sewer.
With a standard manhole, heavy rain inflow leads to more water in the storm drain and sewer that needs to be processed thus overwhelming the pumps.
With the Sewer Sentry manhole, the rain water is correctly diverted to the storm drain, allowing the system to breathe properly and not overwhelming the pumps.
The Sewer Sentry is a device for manhole covers that dramatically reduces inflow during rainstorms, allowing water to flow through storm drains where it belongs. Its patented design also provides the ventilation needed to prevent the buildup of corrosive gases.
The manhole covers are available in both cast iron and composite with sizes ranging from 24 inches to 32 inches. The risers are available in Nylon 66 and stainless steel.
