Effortless Sand Bed Maintenance:
The Turf Rake for Wastewater Filtration Systems
Keep Your Water Filtration Beds Clean, Efficient, and Clog-Free—With Less Manual Labor
case study:
Plymouth Wastewater Facility
Learn how Mike Fray, the Assistant Project Manager at the Plymouth Wastewater Facility, accomplished the impossible task of restoring five clogged filtration beds in one day with the Turf Rake
It's seven acres out there. It's a lot of area. I don't have the personnel. (The Turf Rake) worked so fast. It worked out great for me.

Assistant Project Manager
The Barber Turf Rake is a mechanized debris removal solution designed to streamline maintenance, increase filtration efficiency, and reduce labor costs for wastewater treatment operations.
In wastewater treatment facilities, rapid infiltration basins and percolation ponds play a crucial role in filtering water back into the aquifer. But when brush, organic debris, and sediment accumulate, they clog the sand, slow infiltration rates, and reduce overall efficiency.
Why Wastewater Operations Managers Choose the Barber Turf Rake:
✔ Removes Brush, Weeds, and Debris – Prevents clogging and ensures optimal water infiltration.
✔ Preserves Sand Filtration Beds – Cleans without disrupting the filtration media.
✔ Reduces Manual Labor Costs – Eliminates the need for hand-raking and labor-intensive cleanups.
✔ Speeds Up Maintenance Cycles – Covers large filtration beds quickly and efficiently.
✔ Prevents Compliance Issues – Ensures wastewater treatment systems meet environmental regulations.
How it works
- Mechanical Raking System – The Barber Turf Rake efficiently combs through filtration sand beds, lifting and collecting debris, leaves, and organic material.
- Debris Collection Hopper – Automatically gathers waste into a collection bin for easy disposal.
- Adjustable Depth Settings – Cleans without disturbing the critical filtration layer of sand.
- Compact & Maneuverable Design – Navigates tight filtration bed layouts with ease.
Ideal for These Wastewater Treatment Applications:
- Rapid Infiltration Basis (RIBs)
- Percolation Ponds
- Stormwater Filtration Systems
- Wastewater Treatment Facility Sand Beds
Reduce Clogs, Cut Costs & Improve Efficiency
Keeping wastewater filtration beds clean shouldn’t be a labor-intensive, never-ending battle. With the Barber Turf Rake, you can maintain optimal filtration efficiency, reduce costly maintenance, and prevent regulatory issues—all with one machine.
