## What are Manufactured Treatment Devices?
				
				
		
				
				
									Manufactured Treatment Devices or proprietary systems are prefabricated stormwater control measures designed to efficiently treat stormwater with advanced technology. Often underground, these systems may offer storage as well as stormwater treatment.

## Maintaining Modular Stormwater Systems
				
				
				
				
									Maintenance of these systems depends on manufacturer regulations. Specific guidelines can be found in the owner’s manual and maintenance guide. AQUALIS is a certified maintenance and inspector provider of proprietary systems, call today to learn more about the system on your property. 

								
				
				
		
				
				
					
### Replacing Filters
				
				
				
				
									Filter replacement should always be done in dry weather. Once removed, filters and cartridges should be returned to the manufacturer for final cleaning. Confined space entry personnel may be required to enter the vault to properly clean the system.

## Swales are designed with soil that allows water to infiltrate the ground, providing ground water recharge. Many SCMs utilize sunlight to facilitate evaporation and vegetation to facilitate denitrification
