Garden RainHarvesting System
-
Rainwater is collected from the roof drainage system by the underground Wisy WFF vortex filter (1).
This filters out the debris from the water and diverts about 90% of it into the storage tank.
The remaining water goes to soak-away or storm drain in the usual manner, as does the excess water
from the tank. As water enters the tank it passes through a calmed inlet (2) which calms the flow of
water and prevents disturbance of any sediments.
-
Water is extracted by the pump (3) through a floating suction filter (4) and supplied under pressure to
the garden tap (5). The pump is fitted with a flow controller which automatically turns the pump
on/off when the garden tap or other outlet is opened/closed.
-
Pressure hose (7) is ducted to the house through a drainage pipe (8) to allow for easy removal and
replacement.
-
An overflow trap (9) provides a water seal against any foul odours from drains.
N.B. - an anti-back flow version is available if the connection is to foul again.
Additional Notes
-
The pump has an in-built flow controller, which starts/stops the pump when a tap is opened/closed.
-
Dry-running protection for the pump is provided by a built-in cut-out.
To reset the pump power must be turned off and then back on again.
-
The pump is shown supplying a dedicated tap; we recommend an additional tap from the mains
supply provided. The rainwater tap should be clearly identified.
-
If the pump is required to supply at low flow rates (e.g. dripper system or mist unit) we recommend
the addition of a pressure vessel.
