Eco Tank Filter Screen 450 mm - Rainwater Diverter Screen, Prevents Debris, Insect Barrier, Essential Tank Accessory

Protect Your Water Quality: The Eco Filter Screen

 

The Eco Filter Screen (450 mm) is a small but essential accessory for any rainwater harvesting or tank installation, regardless of tank size. Designed to fit easily into the tank's inlet, this screen acts as the first line of defense, efficiently filtering out large contaminants like leaves, twigs, dirt, and unwanted pests before they can enter and contaminate your stored water.

By preventing the accumulation of organic debris inside the tank, the filter screen helps to reduce sludge buildup and minimizes the food source for algae and bacteria, keeping your water cleaner and your tank healthier. Made from durable, non-corrosive material, the Eco Filter Screen is easy to install and simple to remove for cleaning, making it a crucial component for maintaining high-quality backup water.

  Key Benefits

• Debris Prevention: Effectively screens out leaves, twigs, and larger particulate matter entering the tank.

• Insect Barrier: Helps prevent mosquitoes and other insects from accessing the tank water and breeding.

• Improves Water Quality: Reduces the organic load in the tank, minimizing sludge formation and the potential for anaerobic decomposition.

• Easy Maintenance: Simple to remove and clean, ensuring sustained performance.

• Durable Construction: Made from long-lasting, non-corroding material suitable for continuous water exposure.

  Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Where exactly is the filter screen installed?

   • It is typically placed inside the tank's manhole or lid opening just below the point where the downpipe or inlet pipe enters the tank. This allows the debris to be caught before it drops into the water.

2. How fine is the mesh on the filter screen?

   • The mesh is usually coarse enough to block leaves, large insects, and large sediment but fine enough to allow maximum water flow, preventing water from backing up, especially during heavy rain. It is designed as a first-stage filter, not a fine-sediment filter.

3. How often should I clean the filter screen?

   • The screen should be checked and cleaned regularly, especially after heavy rain or periods of high leaf/tree debris. A clogged screen can cause water to overflow and bypass the tank.
