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. Also aids in mosquito prevention.
This model includes a slotted steel plate which prevents rodents from entering the tank in applications where the Internal Minimax® filter is not used.
When used in conjunction with a Calming Inlet, the Overflow Siphon prevents mosquitoes by acting as a water trap where mosquitoes cannot enter or exit the tank.
Connects to standard 4" PVC using a Fernco fitting.
The Rain Harvesting In-Ground 12" First Flush water diverters improve rainwater quality and safety, help extend the life of pumps (used to distribute rainwater for use in and around the home) and internal appliances that draw upon rainwater (such as laundry, toilets, hot water systems and dishwashers) and reduce tank maintenance.
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.
