The vortex rainwater fine filter is installed inline with the rainwater conveyance system to remove debris prior to the storage tank. Depending on the volume of incoming water, over 90% of the incoming water is diverted to the storage tank while the excess water and debris exits through the drain connection at the bottom. The filter operates as a first flush device by diverting a portion of the water at the beginning of a rain event as the process of surface tension becomes fully active. Both underground and above-ground applications can be accommodated.

The three main sections of the vortex filter (inlet, tank outlet and drain) can be rotated to the ideal position for installation.

The filter assembly consists of a polypropylene filter housing, removable stainless steel .011” fine mesh filter insert, 12 inch stainless steel lift handle, upper ring, and housing lid. The filter should be cleaned at least once a year.

The 20" PE extension tube is included.
