Residential Rainwater Filter Collector

The rainwater coming from the roof through the down pipe is drawn through the vertically placed stainless steel filter insert by adhesion forces. It is then led through the outlet to the rainwater storage tank.

Because of the German patented unique construction, the dirt particles are rinsed directly into the drain with the remaining rainwater. More than 90% of the water passing through the filter collector is filtered and collected by this principle.

METHOD OF MAINTENANCE 


Filter Collector Maintenance


Minimal maintenance of the FS/GRS filter collector is required. The internal filter mesh is a vertical type of filter, therefore very little debris willow remain trapped on the mesh surface. This is enhanced further by the self cleaning properties which washes away all the remaining debris on the filter mesh with the next heavy rainfall. However, over a period time, depending on the roofing material and area of collection, a thin coating forms on the filter element. This has little effect on the water flow but it is recommended to maintain the filter twice a year to maintain the rainwater collection efficiency.

Filter Mesh Maintenance Method  


1. To take out the filter mesh. First, remove the filter collector outlet (4) pipe connection
2. Slide up the upper housing at the down pipe by approximately 10cm.
3. Lift out the filter casing (2) from the lower pipe. Take out the filter mesh and clean it using garden house, High pressure cleaner or sponge. Do not brush it with rough material as it will damage the strainer.
4. Install back to the down pipe. The unit can be use straight away after cleaning.

Rain Water Harvesting

Rainwater harvesting (also called roofwater harvesting) involves the collecttion, storage and distribution of rainwater from the roof, for use inside and outside the home or business.

Nowadays, when mains or reticulated water supplies are available to communities, many people choose to use rainwater that is collected from the roof and stored in tanks or other vessels to supply their water requirements. Rainwater is an ideal source for our water requirements and momentum behind rain harvesting is building.

With the latest initiative by the Malaysian Government in creating a sustainable environment for our future generations, the Malaysian Green Building Index was launched. This is the latest initiative by PAM and ACEM with the objective of leading the property industry to be more environmental friendly .

Myhomepalm Integrated is proud to be a provider of the service to our environment in Rain Water Harvesting. Our target is to harvest 1.2 million cubic meters of water by the year 2011. Pairing up with Rain Harvesting Aiustralia, GE Water & Process Technologies and Pentair Water, we have the products and expertise to meet our clients objectives.
