What are Sump Pillows?

Controlco Sump Pillows pre-empt, and clean up, any potentially costly and embarrassing messes caused by oil spilling into drains, sumps, tanks, and boat bilges. These tubular pillows very efficiently absorb oil, leaving only clean water behind.

They come with a short length of cord at one end for securing to drain grates or other fixtures.

They are a very reliable pre-emptive strike or last line of defence, in case of a spill.

Sump Pillows are 130mm in diameter by 400mm in length.

How much does a Sump Pillow absorb?

This will depend entirely on the liquid being absorbed and the viscosity of that liquid. Generally speaking, one Controlco Sump Pillow will absorb up to 12L.

How do I dispose of a used Sump Pillow?

This does vary from region to region around the country, with different requirements coming from regional councils, depending on what facilities they have in the area to manage and take hazardous waste and clean up material.

We recommend you call your local council or visit their website, for disposal instructions specific to your region.
