Storm Water Grate Protection / A Storm Drain's Best Friend ... Dandy Pop Encloses the Grate and Eliminates Sediment Infiltration

For protecting storm drains and diverting storm water, we are really excited about the patented Dandy Pop! It's designed for use with field grates to filter sediment-laden water and pops up in seconds. The newly designed Dandy Pop is hassle free, so no more cumbersome silt fence or similar device that either falls down or has infiltration points. This is exactly what you've been looking for. The Dandy Pop fully encloses the grate, eliminating sediment infiltration. The suspended solids are allowed to settle out of the slowed flow and are more easily captured prior to entering the inlet.
