Rainwater harvesting Kit C – 800m2 filter, calmed inlet and siphon overflow

Product overview

Filter Kit C has been designed for roof sizes up to a maximum of 800 sq metres and comprises a two stage rainwater filter unit, siphon overflow and calmed inlet.

On entering the filter, water flows across the first cascade to remove largest debris particles.  Pre-filtered water then flows over the secondary sieve filter (mesh size 0,65 mm) where the mesh structure diverts any remaining debris.

The clean filtered water is then delivered into the tank via a calmed inlet.  This allows the water to enter the tank with minimal turbulence and without disturbing any sediment at the bottom of the tank. Rainwater entering the tank via a calmed inlet also supplies oxygen to the water, thereby preventing anaerobic decomposition. Finally, the overflow siphon, which incorporates a skimming inlet, skims the upper surface water and removes any further debris, oils or other floating contaminants thereby increasing the quality of the stored water.
