Pre-treatment removes the large, easy-to-capture contaminants first — so every downstream stage works harder on what actually needs it.
Before wastewater can be filtered, separated or biologically treated, it has to be screened. Pre-treatment uses bar screens, settling chambers and trench collection to pull out grit, sludge, rags, sediment and the heavy solids that high-pressure washing drags off equipment and floors.
By catching this material up front, pre-treatment protects pumps, filters and downstream media from clogging and abrasion — extending the life of the entire WaterMaze system and keeping maintenance predictable.
Trench drains and sumps capture wash-water at the source and route it into the system.
Bar screens and baskets strip out rags, debris and coarse solids before they reach a pump.
Quiescent chambers let grit and heavy sediment drop out of suspension by gravity.
Water containment and collection is often the first and most important part of a water treatment system. Preventing water runoff is required for environmental regulatory compliance — and selecting the right containment for solids handling can make or break the success of the equipment downstream.
Outpacing the performance of concrete pits, our premium-quality Fiberglass Pit System is ideal for pre-treatment of heavy settleable solids — and can be easily installed by your contractor.

The Catch Basin collects wastewater and acts as a pre-treatment stage for many systems. A flexible component, it can serve to catch, hold and filter wash water before it moves downstream.
