JoJo Tank 500 L Backwash Water Saver Tank (White) - Greywater Ready, Water Conservation Solution

Smart Water Saving for Pool Owners

 

The JoJo 500 Litre Backwash Water Saver Tank is an essential product for responsible pool ownership, especially in regions facing water restrictions. When you backwash your pool filter, a significant amount of water is usually lost down the drain. This tank is designed to capture and separate that water, allowing you to reuse the valuable resource.

 

The innovative design features purposefully located tap-off points that utilize the principle of sedimentation:

 

1. Capture: The tank captures the initial dirty backwash water.

2. Separate: Over a few hours, the fine dirt particles settle at the bottom.

3. Return/Reuse: The clean water from the upper portion of the tank can be returned to your pool, and the dirty sludge at the bottom can be drained off and used safely on your garden or lawn.

    

Made from durable, food-grade, UV-resistant LLDPE plastic, the natural white colour of the tank is chosen to allow for easy viewing of the water quality, so you can clearly see the separation of the clean and dirty layers.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Does this tank clean the water for me?

   • The tank does not filter the water like a cartridge filter. It uses gravity to allow the dirt (sediment) to settle to the bottom, allowing you to use the cleaner water at the top and dispose of the sludge at the bottom.

2. Can I connect the overflow directly back into the pool?

   • Yes, the main purpose is to allow the settled, cleaner water (overflow) to be routed back to the pool, while the dirty bottom layer is diverted to the garden or drain.

3. What if my pool water is green or chemically imbalanced?

   • The tank is designed for sediment removal, not chemical correction. If your water is extremely dirty or chemically treated, you should still exercise caution regarding reuse, but the separation process will still capture the volume of water you would otherwise lose.
