Sediment Filter - Pollutant Capture
Built for the job
Green Rhino dewatering filters fit over the end of your pump's discharge hose and capture sediment before the water is released, giving a simple, cost-effective alternative to settlement tanks and vacuum tankers. All three are designed for use with a 2 inch pump.
| Filter | Filtration | Capacity | Reuse | Size | Max flow |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Sediment Filter | 100µm | 20kg sediment | Single or occasional use | 150 x 35cm | 450 L/min |
| Sediment Filter (Heavy Duty) | 150µm | 20kg sediment | Up to 20 times | 150 x 35cm | 450 L/min |
| Oil & Sediment Dewatering Filter | 150µm | 2.5L oil / 20kg sediment | Up to 20 times, or until the detector strip turns dark blue | 150 x 35cm | 300 L/min |
Economy Sediment Filter
Low-cost but effective filter for low-volume and low-risk applications, ideal for keeping in the back of a van.
- Small and lightweight for easy storage and quick mobilisation
- Filter holds 20kg of sediment for single person handling
- Water discharged to Environment Agency accepted levels (100µm)
- Designed for single or occasional use
- Up to 450 litres per minute, for use with a 2 inch pump
- Easy to attach, use and empty
There are no excuses for pumping dirty water onto the road or pavement and risking a costly fine. Our entry-level filter will fit all budgets and cleans water to Environment Agency accepted levels (100µm). The filter media is made from a non-woven geotextile. Lightweight and easy to use, it is suitable even for one-person jobs.
The Economy Filter is designed to capture 20kg of sediment before being replaced. This may equate to a single job or a small number of low usage jobs. When it becomes harder, or impossible, to pump water through, the filter is clogged.
Sediment Filter (Heavy Duty)
Stay compliant and on schedule with this rugged and reusable dewatering filter.
- Save £000s, no vacuum tankering required
- Filter holds 20kg of sediment for single person handling
- Simply empty and reuse up to 20 times
- Water discharged to Environment Agency accepted levels (150µm)
- Up to 450 litres per minute, for use with a 2 inch pump
- Easy to attach, use and empty
This filter will help you resolve dewatering challenges, avoiding the expensive clean-up costs of vacuum tankers and jetting vehicles, or fines from environmental regulators.
Constructed from a layered system of nylon monofilament for capturing sediment particles down to 150µm, and a PVC nylon outer sleeve tested for tensile strength and durability, this rugged filter is built to handle repeated use in harsh conditions.
This filter can be reused up to 20 times depending on the geology of the sediment being filtered. That's up to 400kg of sediment captured with a single filter.
The Heavy Duty filter does not detect oil. If oil or fuel contamination is possible, choose the Oil & Sediment Dewatering Filter.
Oil & Sediment Dewatering Filter
The fast, effective way to dewater excavations contaminated with oil and/or sediment.
- Save £000s, no vacuum tankering required
- Captures light hydrocarbon contamination, with a capacity of 2.5L of oil
- Filters 20kg of sediment for single person handling
- Integral hydrocarbon detection strip turns dark blue when it is time to change the filter
- Simply empty and reuse up to 20 times
- Water discharged to Environment Agency accepted levels (150µm)
- Up to 300 litres per minute, for use with a 2 inch pump
- Lifting straps for safe and easy handling
This versatile filter cleans oil and sediment from contaminated water, avoiding the expensive clean-up costs of vacuum tankers and jetting vehicles, or fines from environmental regulators.

Processing larger volumes
Use a Green Rhino Manifold to harness up to eight filters at once and process large volumes of water without the delays or costs associated with vacuum tankers or settlement tanks.
Check where the water is going
Filtering removes sediment, but you still need the right permission for the discharge point. Surface water drains usually lead to a watercourse, so check with the Environment Agency (or Natural Resources Wales, SEPA or NIEA) or your water company before discharging.
