Water Filters, In-line Water Filters, First Flush Water Filters, Perth, WA

Water Filters

Before reaching your tank, the rain you harvest accumulates a considerable amount of pollutants from your roof and gutters. This can considerably affect the quality and usability of tank supplies. Different levels of purification affect how you can use these harvested supplies.

Rainfill can help you select water filters depending on your usage and collection requirements.

If you simply plan on using your tank for gardening and car washing purposes, your tank water filters will not need to be as thorough as what you would need if you were planning on collecting rain for drinking.

Inlet/First Flush Filters

Larger particles or items, for example leaves and insects, can be collected in an inlet system, which is basically a basket that collects these products.

First flush devices work on the principle that most pollutants are washed away with the first few litres of rain that falls. As such, the first 5-10 litres are "flushed" or diverted away from the tank, with only cleaner later supplies collected.

In-Line Filters

If you wish to connect your tank to your bathroom or laundry, you may choose to install an in-line filter to purify water as it leaves the tank. This type cleans by removing smaller particles than inlet baskets. These are ideally used in conjunction with inlet/first flush devices.

UV Treatment Systems

These are used in conjunction with the inlet, first flush and in-line devices. UV light sterilises water, eliminating bacteria to provide potable supplies in line with health department regulations.

UV water filters are popular not just in homes but by local councils, food, dairy and brewing industries. This treatment system has the advantage that no chemicals are required and the taste of water is unaffected.
