Core offering

3P Technik Filtersysteme GmbH develops and manufactures physical filtration systems for stormwater treatment and rainwater harvesting. Its product portfolio spans hydrodynamic sedimentation systems (Hydroshark family), multi-stage substrate-media filtration systems (Hydrosystem family), rainwater storage and overflow solutions, pumps, and IoT-based remote monitoring (3P-Net Monitoring) for decentralized municipal, commercial, and industrial applications.

Product overview

3P Technik Filtersysteme GmbH offers a comprehensive portfolio of rainwater treatment and utilization systems. The product range centers on three main categories: Sedimentation systems (Hydroshark series), Filtration systems (Hydrosystem series, BUDAVINCI, BIRCOpur, Ecosave Protect), and Rainwater utilization products. The Hydroshark sedimentation plants provide hydrodynamic separation of settleable substances (AFS) in various configurations (standard, with light substance trap, Vario, Modular, pump shaft, Gully) for areas from 500 m² to 140,000 m². The Hydrosystem filtration plants combine sedimentation with adsorption, filtration, and ion exchange using filter substrates (zeolites, activated carbon, calcium silicates) for heavy metal and micropollutant removal, available in sizes from 100 m² to 10,000+ m². Supporting products include 3P-Net remote monitoring, pumps (Diverton series), cistern filters, downspout filters, flow restrictors, and the 3P Box Premium all-in-one solution. The product portfolio enables both decentralized treatment at source and centralized treatment for large-scale applications, addressing needs from residential rainwater harvesting to industrial stormwater management.

Products and services

• 3P Hydroshark Compact hydrodynamic separator that uses flow dynamics to separate sediments and light liquids from stormwater. Configurations include base model, Vario (height-adjustable), Modular, with pump sump, Gully (point inlet), and with light-liquid trap (LF) variants. Used by municipalities, civil engineers, and contractors on paved areas, roads, and parking lots.
• 3P Hydrosystem Multi-stage filtration unit using filter substrate to treat stormwater from traffic and roof surfaces. Available in sizes 400, 1,000, 1,500, and 2,500, in single and multi-unit (Mehrlingsanlagen) configurations, plus Modular and Mikroplastik (microplastics) variants. Designed for decentralized municipal and commercial stormwater treatment.
• BUDAVINCI 3P Technik branded stormwater treatment unit for decentralized surface runoff treatment. Used in municipal and commercial drainage projects.
• BIRCOpur Stormwater treatment unit co-developed/offered in partnership with BIRCO for filtration of pollutants from traffic-area runoff. Used by municipalities, planners, and contractors.
• Ecosave Protect Stormwater runoff treatment product aimed at protecting receiving waters from pollutants. Marketed to municipalities and engineers.
• 3P Box Premium Underground storage tank for rainwater harvesting and retention, designed for garden irrigation, toilet flushing, and other non-potable uses. Used by homeowners, real-estate developers, and commercial sites.
• Regenwasserfilter (Rainwater Filter) Filters installed in downpipes or storage tanks to remove leaves and coarse debris before water enters the cistern. Includes Korbfilter (basket filter inside tank) and Fallrohrfilter (downpipe filter) variants. Used by installers and homeowners in rainwater harvesting systems.
• Pumpen (Pumps) Pumps (submersible, pressure, and garden pumps) used to distribute harvested rainwater from cisterns to end-use points. Sold as components of complete rainwater utilization systems.
• Abflussdrosseln (Outflow Restrictors) Outflow throttles used to regulate discharge from rainwater retention/detention systems into drainage networks or water bodies. Installed by contractors in retention installations.
• 3P-Net Monitoring Cloud-connected monitoring solution that captures operating data (level, flow, filter status, maintenance needs) from installed 3P Technik systems and transmits it to operators. Targets operators of municipal and commercial stormwater and rainwater installations for preventive maintenance and regulatory documentation.

Emerging players

• Regenwasserspezialist (various German SMBs): Otto Graf GmbH and similar German SMEs focus on rainwater harvesting cisterns and decentralized utilization systems. Comparable to 3P Technik's residential rainwater harvesting business (3P Box Premium, cistern filters) but typically less specialized in industrial stormwater treatment.

Direct peers

• BIRCO GmbH: BIRCO is a German manufacturer of drainage channels and stormwater management products. 3P Technik and BIRCO have a direct co-branding partnership on the BIRCOpur substrate filter channel, and BIRCO is a direct competitor in the linear drainage and stormwater treatment market.
• ACO Drain / ACO GmbH: ACO is a leading European manufacturer of drainage and stormwater management systems, including hydrodynamic separators and filtration channels. Highly comparable to 3P Technik's Hydroshark and Hydrosystem product lines, serving the same municipal and industrial customer base.
• Hydro International: Hydro International specializes in hydrodynamic separation and stormwater treatment technologies, including vortex separators and filtration systems. Direct competitor to 3P Technik with overlapping regulatory testing (e.g., NJDEP certification) and municipal/government customer focus.

Regional players

• Opti Aggregat / Funke Gruppe: Funke Gruppe is a German-based plastics manufacturer producing stormwater management and drainage products including sedimentation systems. Regional competitor in DACH markets with overlapping municipal customer base, though less specialized in advanced substrate filtration.

Broad incumbents

• 3M Water Solutions: 3M provides filtration media and water treatment solutions at industrial scale, including activated carbon and specialty media that compete with 3P Technik's substrate-based filtration approach. Broader incumbent with significantly larger R&D and global reach.
• Oldcastle Infrastructure (CRH): Oldcastle Infrastructure is a major North American provider of stormwater management solutions including drainage structures, filters, and separators. Comparable to 3P Technik's Hydrosystem Modular and stormwater treatment product range, with broader geographic presence.
• Watts Water Technologies: Watts Water manufactures water treatment, filtration, and drainage products for commercial and municipal applications. Overlaps with 3P Technik in rainwater harvesting, filtration, and stormwater management categories at a much larger scale.
• Xylem Inc. Xylem is a global water technology company providing pumps, filtration, and treatment solutions across municipal and industrial markets. Overlaps with 3P Technik in water treatment and stormwater infrastructure, but at vastly larger scale and broader product portfolio.
• Wavin (Orbia): Wavin is a major global provider of water management solutions including stormwater management, drainage, and rainwater harvesting systems. Broader incumbent with overlapping product categories (rainwater filters, stormwater attenuation) and significantly larger scale than 3P Technik.
