Ocean Protect | Jellyfish Operations & Maintenance Manual
Introduction
The primary purpose of stormwater treatment devices is to capture and prevent pollutants from entering
waterways, maintenance is a critical component of ensuring the ongoing effectiveness of this process. The
specific requirements and frequency for maintenance depends on the treatment device and pollutant load
characteristics of each site. This manual has been designed to provide details on the cleaning and
maintenance processes for the Jellyfish Filter as recommended by the manufacturer.
The Jellyfish Filter is a stormwater quality treatment technology featuring high surface area and high flow
rate membrane filtration at low driving head. By incorporating pre-treatment with light-weight membrane
filtration, the Jellyfish Filter removes floatables, trash, oil, debris, TSS and a high percentage of particulateÂbound pollutants; including phosphorus and nitrogen, metals and hydrocarbons.
Why do I need to perform maintenance?
Adhering to the maintenance schedule of each stormwater treatment device is essential to ensuring that it
functions properly throughout its design life.
During each inspection and clean, details of the mass, volume and type of material that has been collected
by the device should be recorded. This data will assist with the revision of future management plans and help
determine maintenance interval frequency. It is also essential that suitably qualified and experienced
personnel carry out all maintenance (including inspections, recording and reporting) in a systematic manner.
Maintenance of your stormwater management system is essential to ensuring ongoing at-source control of
stormwater pollution. Maintenance also helps prevent structural failures (e.g. prevents blocked outlets) and
aesthetic failures (e.g. debris build up), but most of all ensures the long term effective operation of the
Jellyfish.
