StormSack Overview – Geotextile Catch Basin Insert
The Fabco Industries StormSack is a geotextile catch basin insert filtration device designed to provide high treatment flow rates while capturing fine sediments and other solids contained in stormwater runoff. The replaceable filter bag has a treated flow rate of 145 GPM/ft².
Designed for flat, combination, and open curb style drain inlets, the StormSack is highly customizable in terms of shapes and sizes, thanks to an adjustable aluminum frame. The StormSack is specifically designed to fit standard storm drain inlets, but can also be customized to accommodate non-standard drain inlets with construction flaws and obstacles such as ledges, shallow depth or other irregularities.
The PLUS series also includes a simple oil absorbent boom, making it well-suited for parking lots, vehicle maintenance yards, and trash transfer sites.
The StormSack also acts as an excellent prefilter, providing an initial filtering step right at the storm drain inlet and before the water is conveyed to other stormwater BMPs downstream, such as detention ponds, infiltration areas, or other proprietary filter devices.

More StormSack System Configurations

StormSack Geotextile Catch Basin Insert FAQs
What about the dovetail frame model?
Limited sizes are available due to change in direction as well as supply chain issues. These units feature an aluminum frame, and the square/rectangle models feature a 5″ adjustment range. While heavily featured in the photo gallery below, they’re currently offered by request only, if unavailable we will recommend a StormSack PLUS instead.
StormSok versus StormSack?
In the past, our round StormSacks were referred to as StormSoks. Nowadays they’re all called StormSacks for the sake of consistency. There may be some documentation floating around using the old naming scheme. Contact [email protected] for further clarification/requests for information.
