Rainwater Filters

Rainwater filters perform an essential function, filtering the rainwater that runs through gutters and downpipes into your rainwater harvesting system. Rainwater itself is clean but leaves, moss and other debris can come off the roof into your rainwater system.

Leaf filters provide initial filtration of the water that comes in via gutters and downpipes. This is necessary to ensure that leaves and other debris are removed prior to storage of the rainwater. Remember to clean out your rainwater filters periodically to ensure water quality is consistently high. Doing so will extend the life of your system.

When using water for toilet flushing, it’s also advantageous to use a fine particle filter like the Hydra Rainmaster (included in all our domestic rainwater harvesting systems) This fine particle filter acts as protection, ensuring no small particles get into toilet valves, where they can cause damage and blockages.

We have a wide range of filters to choose from including:

  • Downpipe filters that are installed on the downpipe and discharge leaves out, allowing clean water to carry on down the pipe to the rainwater system.
  • Underground filters that are installed below ground intercept leaves prior to a rainwater tank.
  • Fine particle filters which are installed in the house after a pump to clean water upon entry to the property.

More Information on Rainwater Harvesting Filters

If you have a rainwater tank, a rainwater harvesting filter is essential. These filters are able to filter debris like leaves and moss which are associated with collecting water from roof areas. This ensures the stored water in your storage tank is free of debris and less sludge and gunk is able to build up inside. This cleaned rainwater is then suitable for many household chores both inside and out, saving on water bills in the long run.

The Main Benefits Of Using Rainwater Harvesting Tank Filters

The biggest benefits of rainwater filters are listed below.

  • Improved Water Quality: Filters remove dirt, debris, and even some bacteria from rainwater, making it suitable for non-potable applications like watering plants, washing your car, or topping up your toilet cistern.

  • Protect Your System: Filters prevent larger debris from entering your storage tank and clogging pipes, pumps and other rainwater harvesting system components. This reduces the risk of maintenance issues and ensures your system functions smoothly for longer.

  • Multiple Filter Options: Depending on your needs and budget, you can choose from various filter types, including pre-tank filters, primary filters and even secondary filters for further purification.

  • Peace of Mind: With a rainwater filter in place, you can be confident that the rainwater you collect is clean and safe to use for your intended purposes. This allows you to maximise the benefits of rainwater harvesting for a sustainable and cost-effective approach to water usage around your home.
