Leopold Clari-Vac floating sludge collector is designed to remove sludge, algae, oil, grease, and organics from potable water and wastewater tanks. Uses a floating bridge and stainless steel siphon headers to collect material with minimal energy use. No moving parts are submerged. Made from nonferrous metals for corrosion resistance. Suitable for new or existing tanks up to 60'x300'.
