This stainless steel smoothing inlet aerates the water while preventing incoming water from disturbing sediment on the bottom of rainwater tank. Oxygenating water makes it higher quality water for higher-end uses. 

 SMOOTHING INLET

    FLOATING INLET HOSE

 

A Floating Inlet Hose floats in the middle of the water in the tank to assure that any water extracted from the tank is the cleanest water available. The Floating Pump Intake represents the 4th cleaning step in the rainwater system.

A Float Switch turns the pump off and on while switching to potable or non-potable water

    OVERFLOW DEVICE

 

This overflow device acts as a backflow unit, skims floating particles from the surface during overflows and keeps out thirsty rodents.

 MULTIFUNCTION OVERFLOW DEVICE

This Smoothing Inlet does not aerate the water; it is specifically designed to prevent incoming water from disturbing sediment on the bottom of rainwater tank.

 SMOOTHING INLET

Water from the filter is fed into the tank via the Calming Inlet to prevent swirling of the water, disturbance of fine sediments and to introduce oxygen at the bottom of the tank. This device also helps prevent mosquitoes by creating a water trap between the inflow pipe and the tank.

 

 

 

 

CALMING INLET

Dirt particles that are lighter than water (e.g. pollen & dust) settle on the water surface as a floating layer. This floating layer is removed when the tank overflows by means of the overflow siphon in the tank. Also aids in mosquito prevention.

 

OVERFLOW SIPHON

Differs from the standard overflow siphon with the inclusion of a slotted steel rodent guard. Dirt particles that are lighter than water (e.g. pollen & dust) settle on the water surface as a floating layer. This floating layer is removed when the tank overflows by means of the overflow siphon in the tank. This model includes a slotted steel plate which prevents rodents from entering the tank in applications where the Internal Minimax® filter is not used. It also aids in mosquito prevention.

    FIRST FLUSH DIVERTER

 

The first flush of rainwater from the roof can contain undesirable elements for your water storage system including bacteria from decomposed insects, bird and animal droppings, concentrated tannic acid, sediments, water borne heavy metals and chemical residues. Instead of flowing to the storage tank, these pollutants can be diverted by directing the initial flow of rainwater into a first flush diverter. This first flush diverter utilizes a dependable ball and seat system that does not rely on mechanical parts or manual intervention, and thus requires minimal maintenance.

 

 

 

 

 FIRST FLUSH DOWNSPOUT DIVERTER

This package includes an Internal Minimax® Filter, an Inflow pipe with Calming Inlet, an Overflow siphon with rodent guard, and a Spannfix pipe connection sleeve. Together they create an internal self-cleaning filtration system to clean the rainwater inside the tank riser for a maximum 3,750 sq. ft. of roof surface. It has 4" connections and an Optional Opticlean® filter sprayhead.

    DOWNSPOUT CLIPS

 

This simple device comes with a standard connector DN 110 making it ideal for installation in poly tanks for potable or no-potable water. Dirt particles which are lighter than water (e. g. pollen) ascent and are swimming on the water surface. This swimming layer is removed through the special firmed overflow siphon when the tank is overflowed.

 

 

 

 SIPHON UNO  DEVICE

The regular overflow of a rainwater tank prevents the formation of a surface matt of light particles which reduce oxygen diffusion at the water surface, keeping the water fresh by stopping any anaerobic decomposition from taking place. Ideal for use in large-scale installations, it comes in 3 sizes (150, 200 and 250). NOTE: The overflow siphon must be securely attached to the tank, since it has a substantial weight when filled. Also available with high-grade stainless steel rodent barrier.

GIANT OVERFLOW SIPHON

The Floating Intake Hose is designed to float at all times, suspended just below the water surface where the cleanest water lies. From this position the water is extracted by the pump. A ball float, filled with air, suspends the intake, which has a further filter and a check valve.

 

 Floating INTAKE HOSE

The Backflow Prevention Valve prevents the backflow of any contaminated water entering the rainwater tank. It allows the water only to flow in one direction. A pin joint makes sure that the overflow of the rainwater tank works under normal operation. If water would flow in the other direction, the valve closes and prevents that dirt flows into the rainwater tank. The valve is equipped additionally with a special seal.

    BACKFLOW PREVENTION VALVES

This Submersible Pump Base has a floating pump that permits only the cleanest water to be sucked in. Thanks to the floating ball, the intake is being kept scarcely below the water surface where the cleanest water in the rainwater tank is found. This protects the pump from sucking up sediment and it increases the safety of every rainwater installation.

 

SUBMERSIBLE Pump base

The Giant Calming Inlet provides a calmed inlet for rainwater in larger storage tanks and large-scale installations. Dirt particles denser than water sink to the bottom of a rainwater tank and form a sediment layer. The Giant Calmed Inlet prevents the incoming rainwater from disturbing this settled sediment layer, keeping the water free of dirt particles. The Giant Calmed Inlet also supplies the lower water layers within the tank with oxygen so that it remains fresh.  It is suitable for DN 250 plastic pipe. The calmed inlet represents the second cleaning step in the rainwater tank.
